Feb. 15, 2008



It has been a long and interesting week!  Jack has been sick.  It started last Wednesday when he ate a penny.  The Dr. told me I should wait a few days to see if it passes on its own.  Sunday night he began to vomit.  So, Monday morning I called the Dr. and told them we had still not seen the penny.  They told me to bring Jack in for and X-ray.  While in the exam room waiting to be brought back to x-ray Jack started grunting and turned really red.  He was working on the penny.  He pooped it out right there at the doctors office.  We did the x-ray anyway just to see if there were more than one in there.  After a clear X-ray, the Dr. told us that there was a stomach bug going around and not to worry too much about the vomiting.  So after cleaning up pile after pile of vomit ( he even puked on the dog!) it started coming out the other end!  Hopefully things will clear up soon.  I am so tired of having sick kids!  It is a pretty helpless feeling!  Kate is doing great.  Her cough is gone and she seems happy again.  
We are getting ready for a pretty big week.  My sister Sara is getting married next weekend.  We are all looking forward to it.  John and Jack will be in tuxedos and Kate and I have fancy dresses.  Jack has been practicing his dance moves for weeks.  I will post some photos after the wedding.  Two days after the wedding John and I leave for Mayakoba, Mexico!  We are really excited!  My "leave the babies anxiety" is building, but I am most looking forward to a full nights sleep!  We will be gone for 8 days.  It is a much needed break!  We are really looking forward to having some time alone.  I don't know the last time we got all dressed up and went to dinner without the kids.   
Valentine's day was pretty quiet around here.  Since Jack was sick John and I stayed home.  We ordered dinner from Ciao Bella.  Like I said, it was low key...but nice.

New things this week:

Kate is starting to babble a lot.
Jack has a baby doll named Kate.
