Broken Boobies Friday 8/29/08

WE MADE THE CHARTS!!!!!!!! Well, I guess I should say E & G did...but I did provide the milk! The boys gained over 2.5 lbs this month and are now official members of the 2 mo growth chart club! Woohoo! They did have to get their vaccinations though. The poor little guys were troopers though and stopped crying by the time we got to the car.

As for the broken boobies...I have mastitis. Which really, really sucks. Hopefully, this will be a short-lived one time thing! Luckily, it doesn't hurt when they are actually nursing so the remedy of more frequent nursing is pretty easy.

Big C is with Bic at The Great Stoneboro Fair checking out the minature horse show! (For which Bic had to pay the ungodly amount of $8 for C's admission...anyone else think that full-price admission for 2 yr olds is flippin' ridiculous?) He was sleeping when Bic arrived and I went into his room singing the "Wake Up" song which had no effect...so I decided to try his tactic. I climbed on the bed, looked lovingly into his sleeping face, and "yelled" "WAPE UP!!!" repeatedly until he opened his eyes. He thought that was hysterically funny and woke up in a great mood. I gave him a hug and kiss before he left and he replied "Thanks Ba!" (MUCH better than "Gross Ba!")

Question of the Day: Do you vaccinate? On schedule? What do you think of people who hold the opposing view? Western PA is a "pocket community" where many children remain unvaccinated or do not get their vaccinations on schedule. Not b/c we are a progressive, alternative-thinking area, but b/c parents cannot afford them and do not know about free or low-cost options. For that reason (and the fact that when I work I tend to work with at-risk kids) I like to make sure my kids are protected. It is kind of scary to consider either way though...we are in the midst of a measels outbreak right now. :(

Good Things:
*The boys are growing like weeds!
*C has decided that Ba's kisses are no longer "Gross!" (hopefully ;) )
*J just made an extra $250 just for driving to Columbus! (That should pay off the boys' drs bill from the hospital!)
