Its raining, its pouring, man I WISH I was snoring!

Have you ever had a moment where you are forced to wonder what you put out into the great space-time continuum that would result in your karma being so totally screwed? A moment where you must ask to the vast unknown "WHY????" I am SO there. Since Parker's birth, while we have absolutely reflected on how lucky and blessed we are, we have also had a whole onslaught of crap rained down on us. We have seen the kids' pediatricians at least once every single week since September 5th. Lets review:

Week 1: After coming home I noticed Parker's coloring on his face was strange when lying on his left side. I panicked, sure he had some cardiac anomaly. Called the dr, told to come in, educated about Harlequin Syndrome, a completely benign baby thing that affects their coloring. No big deal, will go away, stop stressing out.

Week 2: Parker's regular 2 week check up. Healthy baby, back up to birth weight. All is well and good.

Week 3: Hailey leaned her arm on Grandma Maupin's curling iron over the weekend and had to be seen to make sure it was healing well. It was, looking good, keep treating it like we are doing.

Week 4: Hailey woke up from her nap crying hysterically that her privates hurt and refused to go to the bathroom. Kept saying she had to tinkle, kept running to the potty, kept trying to go, but as soon as she would start she would cut it off and cry. Finally had to sit her in a warm tub to get her to go, saw the dr the next day.

Week 5: Parker got a stuffy nose and low grade fever. We were told to call the dr if he had a temp before he was 2 months old. Dr said we had to go to ER for work up. 48 hours in hospital- you know that story. Came home from hospital and mommy got a stomach bug.

Week 6: Sunday evening the stomach monster attacked me AGAIN! Started barfing in the afternoon, the other end soon followed. Lasted through the night. Tuesday morning Jona's stomach started. ALSO Tuesday morning, Hailey started coughing. Middle of the night last night Hailey woke up barking like a seal with a fever of almost 102 degrees and a leaky diaper. Lets also mention that Parker is having some sort of growth spurt that requires him to firmly believe that he should eat ever 1 1/2 to 2 hours ALL NIGHT LONG. MOMMY IS SO VERY VERY CLOSE TO LOSING IT!!!!! So today, we were back at the dr. They love us there.

Luckily, we already had an appointment for this morning for Parker's overdue one month visit. And the little man is quite the chunkster. 22 inches long, 10 lb 14 oz!! LOVE IT! That means he has gained 12 oz in a week, go mamasita. I do feel compelled to point out however, that despite the very effective breastfeeding in addition to the bodily explosions I have been experiencing, the weight is not just dripping off of me. Nope, prepreg clothes still don't fit. So, there are no pics attached to this message simply because I am too darn tired to hook the camera up to the computer. Get over it. I'll put some on soon. Don't worry, my kids are still the cutest things ever created!
