Audrey's 2 month check up

Audrey had her 2 month check up today and she is 10lbs, 10oz. She is 22 inches long. She is in the 50th percentile for weight and height. She's in the 90th percentile for weight for height = she's chubby for her height, which is good at this age. She was due to receive 4 vaccinations but silly Mommy scheduled professional pictures for this afternoon. I declined the vaccinations until next week. I figured the pictures wouldn't be very good if Miss Priss received 4 shots today.

Jackson came down with a GI bug on Wednesday morning. I spent the entire day doing multiple loads of laundry due to vomitting and diarrhea. He developed HORRIBLE diaper rashes and chaffing of his bottom due to all the irritation. We thought he was over it Wednesday evening but when I picked him up out of his crib to hold him, vomit he did! It was all on the carpet, all on the bed linens, etc. More laundry! So, Dan brought out the carpet steamer, Jax went into the bathtub, Mommy watched Jax in the tub and also fixed up Audrey's crib for Jax to sleep in. Thankfully Audrey was sleeping through all of this. Jackson was better by Thursday morning but still not feeling all that great.

Guess who catches it next....ME! I had came down with it at 5PM yesterday and had it until 4AM this morning. It lasted about 12 hours but it was a very intense virus, let me tell you. Those 12 hours were non-stop gastro-intestinal issues. Poor Dan had to watch after me, empty my puke buckets, get me water, etc. My milk supply decreased because I was so dehydrated but it's coming back up now that I am holding down fluids.

Now guess who has it....DAN! He's not nauseous but he has diarrhea. Right now, he is sleeping on the couch, which is about all you can do. Sleep it out of you....

Hopefully this will be the end of our illnesses. I think we are all very tired of being sick. Between Dan and Jackson bringing home illnesses, I can't seem to stay well. And yes, I promise I wash my hands but these darn viruses appear to be transferred in the air. The chest cold that we all had was definitely inhaled because Dan's entire squadron has had it, along with all the families. We started calling it the 211 chest cold.

Dan's sister, Bern, is in labor as I type. We got a phone call from Champie to let us know she went into labor. YAY!!! Baby Anne will be here soon. Bern was 43 weeks pregnant when she finally went into labor. Can you imagine? I was miserable at 29 weeks with Jackson. Audrey was much nicer to her Mommy and didn't make her all that miserable. Must be something about being pregnant with girls....

Return of the Bumbo seat -- guess who also loves to fall asleep in it?
