friends…and an update

Just a quick picture of Owen and his BFF, Ella.  It’s fun to look back at pictures from healthier times when we could actually leave the house…
Update on our swine flu baby…Molly woke up today without a fever!!  It broke late yesterday afternoon and hasn’t returned.  She still didn’t sleep very well last night.  I [...]

quarantined

The last few days haven’t gone as planned.  We were supposed to be in Mena, Arkansas at Travis’ 10 year high school reunion (which he planned, might I add).  It was going to be a great weekend of free babysitting (Nana and Bubba), lots of time with Travis’ high school friends, and a beautiful drive [...]

Bring on the ice cream, pizza, yogurt, cheese, sour cream, chocolate, etc… because Little Miss Molly has outgrown her milk protein allergy!  I kept meaning to do a blog post about this, but I kept forgetting.  And I also felt like, if I made it public, she’d regress and we’d end up back where we [...]

We saw Molly’s pediatrician this morning, and we got the OK to head home!  She has not had a bloody diaper since yesterday morning at 7:30am, and the doctors agreed to start her on a formula called Similac Alimentum (some kind of hypoallergenic formula).  We started this last night and she has taken to it [...]

Today I bought these vitamins for Owen. He really hates those vitamin drops…and I can hardly blame him. The smell is enough to make me gag. I’ve known that gummy vitamins exist, but I also have known that the labels say they are for ages 2 and up due to a potential [...]

we’ve got the crud

Yep, we’re sick around here.  We DON’T have the real flu (fever, aches, sore throat, etc…).  Rather, we have the stomach bug.  You all know what that entails.  I won’t go into detail.  I had it first…coming down with it in the middle of the night on Friday.  I was feeling a bit better by [...]

First of all, thanks to all of you who’ve emailed, called or left comments asking about test results.  I appreciate the support!
After a full day of anxiously waiting for the phone to ring…it never did.  According to the nurse I talked to on Friday, if I didn’t receive a phone call I should assume that [...]

Well, the big ordeal is finally over…and I’m still alive!!  Now I just get to wait until Monday to get the news.  You better believe I’ll be eating my share of chocolate and sweets in the next 48 hours!
Here’s the rundown on my morning…
I got there at 8:40 and they started the party by drawing [...]
