We went to the eye doctor yesterday for Madison. I am getting all of the kids checked for a lazy eye. Brant has a lazy eye and everyone tells me if you catch it early you can help prevent problems. It was such a ridiculously long appointment. We were there for four hours and probably spent a maximum of 30 minutes with the doctor. There were 3 rounds of quick exams in 3 different rooms. In between each we had to wait out in the waiting room with a hundred other people. I was so exhausted from doing nothing with Madison. I have to take the boys on Friday, so I will be a little better prepared. Madison screamed bloody murder when they had to put the drops in her eyes to dilate them. Then for the final exam, she wouldn't let the doctor touch her. We ended up with me forcing her head to be held in place while they pried her eyes open. She's my kid that is convinced it's going to hurt if I cut her toe nails. I have to do it when she's sleeping. I was surprised when we got home and she told Dad "It didn't hurt."
Porter of course woke up at 3 a.m. this morning. I was already up with Lane at 2 a.m. He's teething and congested so he was having a hard time sleeping. I've had no sleep all night. I continue to chant, "It won't last forever. They'll grow up before you know it. Who needs sleep anyway. Sleep deprivation is fun." Then I say, "Screw positive affirmations, I need some Coke and chocolate." It's going to be a great day.
My Mom and Dona left on Saturday. It was so fun to have them. I wish we could stop time and visit everyone forever. We are so looking forward to our trip home for Thanksgiving. I have a lot pictures that I haven't posted so I am putting them up in a montage or just adding a bunch with their captions. I remind myself that this is for the book I want at the end of the year with all of our memories so I won't forget this time in our lives.
