check ups

Today we took Isabella and William to the doctor for their 4 and 1 year old check ups. I usually brave the pediatrician's office alone but this morning Jason went to work late so he could help out. I knew beforehand both children would be receiving several shots and I just didn't want to deal with three crying children by myself. Amelia is a sympathy crier and even a good day doesn't need much of a reason to whine.
Will has been pretty fussy lately and not sleeping through the night. Pure exhaustion for everyone. We were all at the doctor several weeks ago with some type of lingering virus and the doctor told me to let it run its course. Will and Amelia were the only ones eventually not put on antibiotics and unfortunately Will's has now turned in to a double ear infection and bronchitis. At least this explains all the whining and late-night parties we've been having for the past few weeks. We were given two different prescriptions and have a follow up appointment next week for the 1 year shots.
Isabella wasn't so lucky and received 4 shots today. She was pretty hysterical about the idea of the shots but didn't fuss too much at the actual administering. She was begging to take a nap when we got home, already has a fever and complained her legs hurt. I hope the motrin does the trick.
