Ford's 1st Day of School



Ford started school today! I've been incredibly nervous, because for the past month, he's cried the whole time at church both on Sundays and Wednesday nights...but surely he can't cry for 3 hours straight, right? That's what I've been praying!

We think part of the reason for the tears is an ear infection that just won't go away! We are finally meeting with the specialist on Monday, and hopefully he'll recommend tubes and we can get this taken care of before little brother arrives. He's had 7 ear infections in 6 months, so I'm thinking it's a sure thing! And the antibiotics will clear up the infection but not the fluid, so the poor thing has been walking around with fluid in both ears since his birthday. Not fun for either of us!
Nothing to report on Luke other than he likes to constantly make his presence known! He kicks, punches and rolls way more than Ford did. By this point with Ford, he just stayed curled up in a ball! It'll be interesting to see what this says about their personalities!

So excited about Ford's first day of school! He's such a cutie! I was a dork & forgot to take pics of Hudson's first day...maybe I'll get one when he starts back in the fall!
Good luck with the ears...keep us posted! We'll be thinking of your little man (and you)!

Ford is too cute with his backpack! I can't wait to hear how it went. We just had our first ear infection.....I can't imagine battling 7 in 6 months. It makes them so fussy, cranky, and everyone sleep deprived! I hope that they let him get tubes and it makes it all better! I am glad that your pregnancy is going well too. I am sure Luke is going to be so precious too.
