Double Ear Infection

this is going to be a quick post since i only have a couple minutes to write....

yes, the ear infection is back, only this time it's in BOTH ears. my poor baby. he has been sleeping horribly, waking up every 1 1/2 hours and endlessly crying. at first i though that it was just him teething or being fussy. i didn't think that his ear infection was still bothering him since he just finished a round of antibiotics and seemed fine at times other than when he was supposed to be sleeping. it got so bad the other day that i actually climbed INTO his crib with him. it worked. he fell asleep within 30 seconds of laying his head on my chest. anyway, i finally figured out that something else must be going on so i took him back to the doctor yesterday. poor baby. BOTH EARS. he's on a stronger antibiotic now so hopefully it works this time. john had to have tubes in his ears twice and my mom says i had multiple ear infections as a kid. Caleb's doctor said that with the family history, the only thing that has probably kept him from getting ear infections up until this point is the fact that i'm still nursing. so i'm giving him "boom-boom" (Caleb's word for my boobs - he's already a boob man) whenever he wants. my poor little man. i hope he feels better ASAP!!
