I just swallowed the last pill of my prescription that I started last week. Not normally an achievement worth celebrating, but when the stupid things have to be taken 4 times a day (read:every 6 hours, regardless of the time), either an hour before I eat or two hours after… I can’t believe [...]

So Cory and I have been talking about getting another car for quite a while now–very basic things, like grocery shopping and getting to doctors appointments have become somewhat difficult since Cory started working up in Salt Lake last summer. Also, Cory’s commute is killing our already ailing car, so we wanted something more [...]

I seem to be in a posting frenzy tonight, but it’s just because things (seem to) have calmed down a bit around here, and I have a minute.
I wanted to take a sec to thank everyone for their help this past week–it has been really, really tough to watch Janey be so sick, and [...]

Breanne was exhausted and fell asleep on the couch.

Janey, however, had been in my carrier asleep the entire time, and so was ready for a photo shoot. Here’s a sample of what we came up with:

Breanne at almost 2 weeks:

Janey a day past 2 weeks:

When I look at baby pictures of Breanne and Janey side-by-side, I can’t believe how similar they look.
Or how much they both look like their dad:

So the other day Cory accidently knocked our camera off the table. Now, this has happened plenty of times, what with a nearly two-year-old hanging around. Unfortunately, however, this time it must’ve landed on the display or something, because it broke. Now you can still use the camera, but there is no [...]

Can I just say something about pediatricians here? I love ours, because I really feel like he knows my kids, and makes an effort to do so. He does seem to be collecting a lot of patients still (he still does a lot of work at the hospital), but I don’t even mind [...]

Well, we made it through the night with no emergency room visits… though I was pretty worried for a bit there. Janey’s breathing has been pretty rapid, but her fever is gone, and she’s still been eating well, so we’re still in the safe zone. I took her in to see a dr. [...]

So I thought it was bad last week when Breanne was super sick, but I think I was wrong.
Janey started coughing on Sunday, I thought just because she’d swallowed some milk wrong. But instead of going away, it just got worse. Then yesterday when she woke up, her eyes were all watery, and [...]

So did I mention that in the last week Breanne got a new sister, and the worst cold of her life? And that she thinks tylenol is yucky, so can’t get any relief for the aches and pains of being sick, or her fever of 102? Oh, and that she’s getting her back [...]
