I went to the doctor today for my first major check up... So far very little has happened. :( I am about 1/2 a centimeter dialated and while my cervix is not considered closed, it isn't really very open either. Oh well. I was prepared that this would probably be the report, but have to admit that I would have loved to hear differently. I am really rather miserable at this point: can't sleep, pelvic pressure that makes it difficult to walk, headaches, backaches... It is such a blessing! :) I know...
The second doctor's visit occured only a few hours after the first. Will has not been feeling well for several days now and run a fever off and on. His cheerful personality abandoned him on Sunday and we have had tears and whining and fussing for almost 3 days now. A visit to the doctor explained the change in my usually sweet little boy. He checked his lungs and his ears and his nose and gave the ok... But one quick look at his throat and we had the explanation! His pediatrician said that while children Will's age seldom get strep throat that Will's throat was so infected and swollen that he wanted to check him for it. While he doesn't have strep my poor little boy is in horrible pain everytime he swallows and we have been told to expect at least 2 more days of the worst... He has hardly been able to drink or eat for over 24 hours now because even consistent Tylenol has done nothing to lessen the pain. Poor Will! I felt so bad as the doctor was speaking because I just thought he was having a poor reaction to 2 new teeth and had not been nearly as sympathetic as I would have been had I known. Needless to say, he was granted his every wish tonight! :) Mommy had to make up. If only 17 month old children could tell you what was wrong...
