Notes from the SAHM

That's stay-at-home-mom.

Thank you Ninong Richy! Daniel is super excited about the Aladin and Sword in the Stone movies! Gracie is too because, well she's always excited when Daniel is.... but we're sure she'll love them just as much!

We had the Peds Christmas party today but I forgot my camera (I remembered both kids though!) Luckily one of the other residents- Johan (OMG, don't kill me for butchering that spelling-) is an avid photographer so I will hopefully have Santa pictures soon.

Crafty? Check out Maggie Ingram's blog. She's been crafting up a storm lately and totally inspiring me to actually DO some of my projects.

These are projects with FREE instructions:

Summer Dress
Pillowcase dress
Growth Chart
Tropical Punch Quilt

A few changes

You might notice a few changes around the Bragblog in the next few days. I'm-a-doin an overhaul.

Mostly I'm deleting links and things that aren't being used or are no longer working. (Please email me for Training Mr. Right information)

I know pictures are a rarity these days- but hey! You try to pin these munchkins down!! It's a good thing I have a sports function on the camera or all anyone would ever see of Daniel is a blur across the picture.

Some a little newsy update for tonight (it's getting late- darn insomnia!)

Daniel has learned how to do a somersault all on his own! Yay! He's been bending over and putting his head on the floor for a while now but never figured out the right umph to get himself over.

Unfortunately for Gracie Daniel also thinks it would be fun to help HER do a somersault as she has just STARTED putting her head on the ground. There's a lot of pushing and pulling and screaming going on in the house right now (well, not RIGHT now... but you get the picture).

By the way- any of you crafty readers need to go check out the Ingrams blog. Maggie must be running on endorphins or something because she's starting to make me jealous with all her neat new stuff!

Checkups

Gracie is, as always, way up on the growth chart. You'd swear I had GD where this girl sits on those little curves. She got 4 shots, back next month for her second flu shot, and then again in 2 months for the rest of her shots (I think 3 more).

Daniel was actually around the 75% for his weight and still a little under the 50% for his height. He got a flu shot and a finger prick to make sure he wasn't anemic (he wasn't).

We got the go ahead to start Gracie on Prevacid and 2 breathing treatments a day (up from 1) because she is still vomitting almost every night from her coughing.

They are both very cranky today.

Last Saturday we had the kids birthday party- Pizza in the Park. A few of Rudy's work buddies came out to celebrate with us and I made WAY too many cupcakes- which were promptly sent to the Peds ER and MICU for residents to eat. Thank you to everyone for the great books and especially to Ms. Cherlene and Dr. Ryan for the ultra cool Dora and Diego presents!!!! Daniel is working on your thank you cards but I'm not sure anyone will be able to read them with all his coloring.

I never did get my camera out of the car so if anyone who took pictures could forward them to me I would really appreciate that!
