hey guys i just wanted to update everyone on what is going on with us. We are doing better since the accident. i'm still very shook from the whole thing, but feeling less sore which i think helps us to move on! i can still hear the car hitting though yikes, hope that goes away soon!

I made John take Jack in to see the doctor even though they said we didn't have to.They said he was fine, but found he has a double ear infection...my poor babe! we didn't even know! boy did we feel like bad parents, except the doctor told us how lucky we are to have such a calm baby that he wasn't freaking out from the pain...i guess i'll count my blessings. so we have antibiotics for him, i hope it'll work for everything else that may be bothering him. he does have diahrea(sp) and a low grade fever, i'm just worried that he will get worse, or dehydrated and we won't know...please pray he snaps back from all this quick!

Thanks for the suggestions about the car seat, the policeman told us to take the whole thing to the fire dept. where they will check it and approve it again so we don't have to get a new one if it's okay...i'm happy about that and trust the FD, especially because that was a $300 travel system...that we've used for 10 weeks!!

Speaking of 10 weeks, while he was getting checked at the doctor, they weighed him...any takers on his weight...i'll give you a second to guess...............

nope you're all wrong: he now weighs in at 16lbs 8oz...yes that's right my tubber has gained 7lbs in 10 weeks...what do they put in that formula?!?!?! the doctor said he's completely healthy and although a little chubby in the cheeks... not to worry about the weight!! 

so that's the scoop on us, i still hate my family..not really but you know what i mean, hate my job, and now have a broken car, and a still sick baby...other than that nothing new here.

I'm planning to take Jack for Easter pictures this weekend, but i need to get him a snazzy outfit first. i want to do Kiddie Kandids again at Babies R Us but they are really expensive, i thought about JC Penney's or Sears, or the place in the mall but i don't really know if they are good, or too expensive..any suggestions?

Just wanted to to say thanks again for all the prayers and well wishes for us, i really appreciate all the thoughts from you guys, i have to say i feel like we are very close, even though we only know each other through our children.. ( : i really do wish we lived closer! i look forward to coming to check in each day, and it's because you are all such great friends to have and talk to! thanks again for being you! ( :

ps, i have a friend in need here at DS, her name is  Laura426, if you guys know her or don't she could really us some support, love, hugs, and advice right now, if you have some time! Thanks!!!

Talk to you soon, moe!
