A Day In Our House...

Davis has the flu. As in the actual ,real, we swabbed your boogers and it came back positive flu. He is on Tamiflu. Hopefully he does not vomit it up. Poor little guy has been miserable the last day. Not eating and only lying on the couch, wrapped in a blanket with a cold washcloth on his head. I think he smells too. Between being super hot, wet washcloth head and no bath since Saturday, the boy is ripe. Ah well. I let him rest and will wash him when he feels up to it.

The reason he even got looked at is because Xander had his well baby check today too. That boy is almost off the charts in length. *I* have a child that sits in the 97% for his height. No wonder the infant car seat seemed too small for him. He is weighing in at 13 pounds 4 ounces. So he is actually tall and skinny. Must get it from his dad. That poor little guy has had to be moved to his big boy car seat. Which means he has to get a blanket thrown over him as we go to and from places. Poor kid is freezing. Not to mention that he is wearing mittens and a hat, neither of which he is fan of. This also means that at the store we are SOL. I swear that no place has carts with infant seats anymore. Where they recalled or something? I can not find one of those carts for the life of me. And of course, Xander can not sit up yet. I am not sure what one is supposed to do. Needless to say we get a lot of odd looks as I push the cart around with Emma sitting in it holding her brother. And today was grand as Davis looked like death and here I was tooling around Target. Who it turns out, does not take our new insurance. So we had to go to another store and do the same thing all over again.

And the doctor visit? Oh yes, we got lots of "looks". Here I was, with sick looking Davis, screaming Xander and Emma doing I do not know what. I had to fill out new forms (new insurance) and also had the baby's bag and my purse. I am not sure how we got in and out of there today. I could use a nanny.

We are all home now. Davis and Xander are napping, bless their hearts. Too much out and about today when no one is really feeling all that great. I am off to rest too. I was up with Davis at 2 and then Xander was up at 4 to eat. My sleep last night left a bit to be desired......

Aww poor boogie. Sorry to hear that he has the flu. That takes the kiddos so long to recover from too. Stay inside where it is warm until...hell...April??? Winter sucks... Take care. Love you guys - Kiki

Face it Abby, your kids are going to tower over you. Especially the boys. Somehow, I ended up with midgets. Payton's 6 months, and just barely weighs 14lbs! We're expecting to be facing backwards in the carseat until she's 2.

We had the flu going around our house too. It sucks. Hope the Tamiflu helps, we couldn't catch things in time to get it. Give Davis get well hugs!!

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show.  I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless.  I read anyway.  Spoilers? Not bothered.   Let me give some back story here.   At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine.  Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar.  I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly.  I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper.  I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing.  Who knew?  This fu...

Why Choose It?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...
