Yesterday I took Monkey to the pediatrician because I was convinced that there was something else going on with him. The past two weeks have just been a little too out of ordinary for him. I have never brought the stroller into the office, but something inside me told me to bring it.
Boy am I glad I did!
I’ve never seen the waiting room as crowded as it was. The “sick” side of the room was completely packed, while there were a few seats left on the “well” side. We took our seats & started to chat it up with the people sitting by us. Thankfully talking to others made the time pass because we were in the waiting room for 1.5 hours.
We’ve never had to wait that long. I chalk it up to the fact that it was a Monday & school has started. & we all know how full of germs school is.
Anyways, once the pediatrician looked into Monkey’s ears he told me that he has an ear infection. I was happy. Obviously, not happy that my son has pain in his ears, but relieved (better word) that there is something going on with him to make him cranky.
Isn’t mother’s intuition great?!
I feel like a “real” mom… I knew something wasn’t right with my child & I was right. If you ever feel like this with your child, go with your instinct. Really. There is a reason that we are all moms.

yeah I also follow my instinct. Of course, if you see that there is something different with him, you really got worried.
