First timers at being sick. :(

One of the the last posts was about how happy the babies were at daycare.
Well, here's the update:
A day after those pictures were taken, my children who have NEVER been sick, started getting sick. Now I'm not talking about a little cold, I'm talking about full blown ear infections with antibiotics and fever spikes!
Look at these little faces....

Lessons learned from this experience so far:
1- If you feel "iffy" about your child's caregiver, change them!
There was something about our pediatrician that I didn't like but I let it go because my husband thought she was good... I should've trusted my instincts. Which leads me to #2.
2- Trust your gut!!!
Had I trusted in what this pediatrician said, I would've let my son continue going through pain because "it should work itself out". Ofcourse, I did not trust this knucklehead and took them both to the baby ER.
3- There's nothing worse than seeing your little angels sick and not being able to take it away.
4- If you have to, you CAN function on 2 hours of sleep a night and still go to work the next day. 
You will do whatever it takes to make those babies comfortable and try to meet your obligations as a working parent.  It's not easy, but it's doable.
5- When it rains it pours!!!
Not only have the children been very sick, but my husband and I both got sick too....
6- It's OK to walk around the house with your shirt full of spit and snot and smelling of vomit and sweat.
It's your kids stuff.... it is what it is!  You either do that or have a wardrobe change every 15 minutes. No time for that "Divaness" when your dealing with two sick munchkins.
7- And lastly,  just praying to stay home with my babies has not worked and someone else ALWAYS wins the damn lottery!!!  :/
