Today

Ugghhh... today was one of those draining days and I didn't even do much. Poor Cole started having a toothache over the weekend. It got worse yesterday - he and Chris went to a Magic game yesterday afternoon and ended up leaving early, before it was even half time, because Cole was in so much pain. Cole had been so excited about going to the game (they were playing the Cavaliers, which means Lebron James), so we knew he must be hurting for them to leave early. But then it would feel better, and Motrin definitely helped.

Last night he told me there was a "bump" there, almost like a sore... and then this morning he woke up and his whole right side of his face was swollen. Thankfully, we already had an appointment at 8:30 this morning to have a different cavity filled, so we headed straight to the dentist. Turns out a previous cavity that had been filled had gone straight to the nerve and an abcess (sp?) had formed. That pretty much meant that the tooth would need to be pulled. It was awful. Luke and I were in the waiting room, and had been for quite some time. All was calm, and then I hear this screaming, which I know is Cole. Of course I started crying... He was miserable for the next 2 hours. We stopped at Walgreens and got some liquid Motrin (I had actually brought some Motrin, but it was chewable), and he screamed in the parking lot of Walgreens (he sometimes can add a little drama to an already tough situation!).

On a happier note, we had a sonogram shortly after that (Cole and Luke tagged along to that - thankfully the Motrin kicked in and Cole wasn't feeling quite so yucky). All is well with our baby girl - she weighed approximately 2 1/2 lbs, had all her fingers and toes, etc. I was completely surprised to see that Cole actually enjoyed watching the entire sonogram. He couldn't wait to show the DVD to Ansley when we picked her up.
