First Times

Well, today we took J to the doctor for something other than a well baby visit. We had our first maybe-one-of-our-kids-is-sick-visit.

He's just been acting a little off the past few days. Very cranky and spitting up a little more than normal. And he's been laying his head down and tugging on his ears. Well, my mommy brain knows that usually signifies one of two things- ear infection or teething.

So I called our nurses line and got him in for this afternoon. The nurse said to go ahead and get him just in case it was an infection.

So we did. And he's good to go! No ear infection.

They weighed him and he was 17something. (I didn't catch it because I was playing with Reagan and John doesn't remember.) Rea (they weighed her too just because) was right around 18lbs. I just hope they didn't catch anything by going to the doctor. I've never had to wait in a waiting room with other kids in there before. We didn't go to our normal peds office. Dr. Bubba didn't have any openings today or tomorrow, so we went to another office with another doctor in the practice. But I really liked her too (I've liked all the ones I've met) and liked the nurse. They go for their 9 month well baby in a few weeks so we'll have weights again soon. Yay. I liked getting them weighed.

I went to the main campus of the CC to get a textbook I needed and my satellite campus didn't have. It rained the entire way there. Blarg.But I logged online last night and all my classes are finally showing up.

I have my first assignment in statistics already. The first lesson is to introduce ourselves and form groups. I didn't want to be the first to go, especially since online classes don't even start until next week, so I haven't done that yet. I'll probably go ahead and do it tonight or tomorrow though. (I have read the first chapter.)

I'm really getting excited about school. I'm nervous about statistics though. I'm not very good at math and I'm second-guessing if I should be doing this online. I think I'll get through though. They do have a math lab on campus I can go to for help and John's already said he'd read the book along with me to help.

Have I mentioned that I'm excited? I am. (YAY!)

G'night.
