ice chips and ear drums...


so, my ear drum ruptured yesterday.  and yes, it is as painful as it sounds!  i think, from what i remember, it was as bad as labor!  except, labor produces this wonderful child... and the ear drum just hurts!!  i was sitting on the couch, sobbing, and nora and sadie just stared at me.  nora was so sweet, snuggling and hugging me.  we were laying on the couch watching a "bean show" and she just laid next to me.  what a sweet baby. 

david and i had our tour of the birth center and hospital last night.  instead, we spent 4 hours having my ear looked at....  not near as much fun.  or nearly as informative.  i saw three ent's (ear, nose and throat doctors), and several other nurses and midwives!  however, the plus side is that i got to have ICE CHIPS!!!  there is something about the hospital ice chips that is like heaven.  it was SOOO good.  i might have to find a reason to go back, just to get more ice chips!  
all that to say, i am feeling SO MUCH better now.  they say the pain should be gone, now that my ear drum is ruptured.  

okay, picture of sadie... i don't usually put them on here, but she looked so funny with her tongue hanging out!
