Formula tastes horrible...

Quick update on the goings on from this week.

Tuesday: Kim took Reese back to the Dr. on Tuesday for a 10 day check up after her one month debacle....ehhhhh maybe it wasn't really a debacle but we found that Reese had an ear infection and albeit a mild one, she was still a little sick and that weighed on our minds alot over the past 10 days. In the end, the medicine has made some super nasty diapers for about a week and a half but it did make her better. No ear issues and no fever so little bit is just fine now.

The other interesting note is that Reese now weighs 13lb 3 oz....hehehehe Chunky Munkey! It's so funny because we stumbled on another Blog and this lady mentioned that her 4 month old had made it to 14 lbs. which doubled her birth weight...Sounds as if Reese has a little head start when compared to that particular little one. Our Dr. says her weight is at or right above the 95th percentile but I'm not completely sure if that's good or bad. I guess if she were too big, the Dr. would be jumping down our throats but she hasn't said anything to date. It's not like we've been shoving formula down her throat. We stay on a schedule as best we can so it appears to be having the desired effect....happy, healthy baby.

Wednesday: A note on Formula....don't try it. Being nosey...I tried it. I should have known better because when we mix it, the stuff stinks horrible bad but that didn't stop me. I tipped the nipple free bottle to my lips and did that curled upper lip sip that means you're pretty much ready to yack on site. Jeez, that stuff is awful....I didn't "give back" but I could have. The stuff doesn't mix with cookies but it could help you lose your cookies real quick. Nasty...

Today, Kim took a trip to Gainesville to visit with her office and Reese did pretty well on the way, during, and on the way back. It's 90 minutes each way so this could have been a disaster based on some of her trips lately where she loses her mind and her lungs come unhinged. Thankfully she spared Mommy the temporary loss of hearing from a lip quivering scream during the outing....Thank you Reesie Pie.

This weekend is filled with projects and plantings so I'll be dodging showers trying to work outside and Kimmy will be chilling with Reese and having lunch with some buddies up in the Hoon. Try on some baby pics from last night....

polka dots are my very, very favorite! glad reese is better. sophie is NOT. we've been on what i was told is the 'mack daddy' of all antibiotics for 9 days, and today out of nowhere, she started running a 102 temp and pulling at her ears. CRAP. off to the doc, and her ears are still pretty bad. so. a HUGE shot in her leg, a NEW antibiotic, and back to the doc on tuesday. icky ick ick.

about the formula ... wow. i was never that brave! it smelled too bad for me to even be okay getting it on my hand while i was mixing it. grossssss.

hope your weekend is a good one!
