This and that

-What a week in our house! The kids had 2 snow days a week ago Thursday and on that same day Sean started running a fever. Ethan soon followed, and for 8 days they had temperatures over 100. They had a cough and congestion in their chests. Sean got really sick and went to the doctor on Monday. He had the start of pneumonia and got started on antibiotics. Kaitlyn threw up and started a fever that same day. Fortunately they are all over this nasty stuff after 8 days of fever, 2 boxes of Kleenex, 1.5 bottles of Tylenol, 5 days of missed school, and lots of Lysol. We kept Nathaniel away from them and used tons of hand sanitizer. So far he has kept away from it, but we will keep an eye on him.

- Nathaniel has a gooey eye. I think it's just a blocked tear duct. It gets crusted shut when he sleeps and is just gooey. Has anyone else had this with one of their babies?

- I took him to his 2 week check up yesterday. When he was discharged from the hospital and at his appointment 2 days later he weighed 7lbs. 1 oz. In 10 days he gained almost 2 lbs. He now weighs 8lbs 12 oz. I'm guessing he is getting enough to eat :-)!

- I'm ready to cut my hair!! I've been growing it out for Locks of Love, and I have to have 10" to donate to them. I'm really close and so ready to cut it. I haven't had my hair this long since high school. It's hit the length where it just hangs there and does nothing. I will probably chop it in February and just have short hair for a while :-).

- So I'm already ready to fit back into my clothes. I've lost 23 lbs since he was born but have another 27 to go. Not all of that is from pregnancy- but I did gain 45 lbs. So I will be starting that lovely journey soon so that I will have clothes to wear and be healthy :-).

ummmm... that's it for now!
