Today I sent Oliver to the doctor for no reason. It was bound to happen eventually, right? He'd been fussy for a few days, especially when laying on his back, and was not napping like normal. The obvious options (to me) for our well-mannered baby to be so upset were either 1) ear infection or 2) teething. So I talked Brent into taking him to the doctor to find out which one this morning while I was at work. We don't want an ear infection getting worse do we?
Well, there was absolutely nothing wrong. The fussiness may be teething and the sleeping was probably just being lonely when he woke up during a nap rather than putting himself back to sleep like normal. On the plus side, we now know that he weighs a little over 17 pounds. So although yesterday and the day before were a little rough, Oliver has been perfectly happy all day and well on his way to "recovery".

We have been to the doctor so many times over Samantha's ears, it isn't even funny. I totally understand.
Better safe than sorry...right? Peace of mind is worth a whole lot!
