Love This Mommy Stuff...

Status Post Dr. Visit...

Benjamin: Weight 27lb, no fever, ear infections in both ears, given a 10 day dose of amoxicillin. Hopefully this will clear up. He also acts like he has a headache, probably due to the serious coughing he's been doing.

Evey: Weight 10lbs 8oz, 22.5in long. Apparently her "diaper rash" is a yeast infection. But I blame it on huggies wipes. Benjamin can't tolerate them either. She was given and Rx for vitamin D. As with Germany, there isn't enough sun around here. She had her belly button cauterized. (Silver nitrate: Active ingredient of the lunar caustic, a stick that traditionally looks like a large match-stick. It is dipped into water and pressed onto the lesion to be cauterized for a few moments) It looked ok..she didn't cry. But her belly button looks more nasty now and is oozing brown crap all over her onesie. Not a fan. She also had to get another PKU done. So they pricked her heel. She didn't cry over this either. She's tough, like her mommy. :)

Anyway...we need lunch and two poopy diapers are calling my name. :-D

We're Home!

Yes..after two very short weeks visiting family, attending a wedding, bowling, eating good food, talking people's ears off, photo shoots, and floods...we're home.

Our house is kind of a disaster...it appears we left in a hurry a couple weeks ago. Funny how you don't remember that until you get home.

The first thing we did was return our rental car, we dropped the keys in the drop box and then realized we hadn't turned the lights off. Hopefully we won't be charged for the jump.

As soon as we got back from that both kids got a much needed bath. Evey was looking a little greasy and Ben was just...dirty.

After baths (for all of us) we jumped in bed and we were all asleep by 9:45pm. It was wonderful.

AND BOTH kids slept through the night! Yay Evey! God has really blessed me with some easy babies.

Richard was off to army land again at 6am and I am now finished with work and heading back to bed. We're all kind of sick...someone gave us a cough and runny nose and headache while we were home....Taking the babes to the doctor today...Ben has truly been miserable for the past 3 days and now Evey is sounding very congested.

I have lots more pictures to post....but I'll do that later.
