Quick recap

The short of this week is that I broke a shoe, thought I lost my ID twice, got lost multiple times, broke my keyboard andgot very little sleep. I also replaced said shoes, did NOT lose my ID at all, finally found my way and got extra snuggles with Hayden. Hayden had a slight fever, popped through two more teeth, locked my cell phone, threw up six times in two days this weekend, and woke up with what I thought was pinkeye today. He also learned to blow kisses, had a blast at daycare, hasn't thrown up today, and made me two delightful pieces of artwork at school.

A two-week course with a baby in a hotel is not easy, but we are making it through. My instructors and the staff at the CDC are extremely helpful and understanding of our situation, and really what matters is that Hayden is doing very well and my class is going well. We are one week down and one to go, we can do this! Today Hayden had some yucky stuff in his eyes so we went to the hospital to check it out. Since our clinic isn't open on the weekends, we have few options but Leopoldina is a good hospital. Typically we're in and out in no time, but today we were there for three hours. It's not pinkeye, thankfully, and is hopefully just part of his little cold.

Tonight is laundry, packing, cleaning and hanging out with my little buddy. We are already looking forward to next weekend!

The sweetest baby

Today I had a wisdom tooth taken out on the left side of my mouth. My top two aren't down far enough to remove, and I had the bottom right one removed in 2007. In Schweinfurt at our dental clinic they don't have the capabilities to put me out for oral surgery, so basically I get a local and they get to work. I've never had a cavity or anything done to my mouth (except the other wisdom tooth surgery) so I'm a big ol' baby when it comes to it. I hate needles, and the noise of the digging and cutting is enough to curl me up in a ball, but I think I handled it like a big girl this time.

After my surgery I picked Hayden up from daycare and we came home. He went right to sleep for his normal nap time, and I relaxed. As my novocaine was wearing off I took a pain pill to ease the throbbing, and ate my mashed potatoes quickly so it wouldn't hurt. When Hayden woke up from his nap he was super excited to see me. I got him out of the crib and he gave me a huge baby hug and tons of sloppy kisses. Jay is in the field doing training for three weeks (he left today) so I definitely needed a little extra love. He's proven to be a super sweet little fellow today, with extra smiles and snuggles for mom. I'm pretty sure we'll get through this together, and I'm patting myself on the back for giving him a morning bath to make it easier on me tonight. I'll catch up on our blogging when he goes to bed. Lately he's been sleeping a solid 12-13 hours at night, so I should have lots of time!
