All better!

Wow. I think we finally have a healthy household! After numerous trips to the doctor last week (3 to be exact) as well as 1 this past week (because after 10 days mommy was sick of having a baby with diarrhea and wanted him to just be better!), we finally got Jeremiah back to having solid poops (too much information?). The doctor said that sometimes after having a stomach bug, babies can have a hard time digesting their regular formula... so she gave us 2 samples cans of different types to try. The first one to try was a soy formula, which Jeremiah LOVED, and the can is already gone. If that one had not worked, we would have had to try a super nasty smelling/tasting formula that was extra broken down... thankfully we didn't need to use that! And actually, the doctor also gave me everything I would need to do a stool culture because she wanted to have that done if neither of the formulas helped. So I am REALLY thankful that the formula did the trick! He has been back to normal poops since Friday, and he's even back on his regular formula. Whew. I guess we made it through our first bout of the stomach flu. Now it is really important that we all stay healthy for our trip to California!

In other news, we survived our first blizzard of the winter (actually, it was our first snowfall of the winter, too). We only got a couple inches of snow, but the wind was really blowing yesterday and it was pretty nasty out there. Molly had the right idea of what to do during a blizzard:


Jeremiah has been busy, as always. He is becoming more and more interested in trucks and other vehicles, and he even makes a little, "bbbbrrrrrr" sound when he drives the trucks around!


What would I do without my helpers when it is time to clean up after Jeremiah the Graham Cracker Monster????



One more interesting thing... I had to get glasses! Apparently I was needing them. The doctor said to me, "You have been without glasses since 7th grade?!?!?!" And I said, "Um, yeah, that's about right." And she said,"Wow. You NEED them." Huh. Who knew? I still don't think that my vision is all that horrible, and much to my siblings' dismay, I do NOT have to wear a patch (although the left lens has a significantly stronger prescription than the right!). I don't know... I'm still getting used to them. Mom, I will try not to leave them laying out on the trash can over night, and I promise not to throw them in the back of the closet. :)


Well, I guess that's about it from here. The next couple weeks will be very busy with trips to Sioux City and then California and Jeremiah's first Christmas(es)!
