tuesday . . .

Currently typing as I hold baby asleep in one hand & playing Thomas MegaBlocks with Ryan with the other. The typing is happening intermittingly :) I did this entire post last night after a 3 o'clock feeding but somehow never posted it and did not save it as a draft so I have to start over :) Happy belated Valentine's Day!!! Mine was really nice - early morning celebration at Ryan's school, lunch at Grammy & Grandpa's, and then coming home to roses & love notes all around the house from hubby :) A great day for sure!!!!

What has been keeping me from blogland????? We had quite the week as both little ones were/are sick . . . Ryan with a double ear infection & sinus infection - yuck - yuck - yuck!!! The little man - well - one thing after the next. It began with a bad case of thrush that led to really bad diaper rash, while at the doctor's we discovered he had an intolerance to milk so we switched him to soy formula which he became VERY constipated on & just plain miserable. We then switched to Nutramagin only to then have him diagnosed with acid reflux - ahhh!!!! Finally, we are feeling a bit better with some medication :) Hope to get back to normal soon!!!

Sharing some pics from the week . . .

Turning one month old . . .
