Vaccinations, rashes, and growing up
We have one fussy baby tonight. Preston just received his first set of immunizations today and he has been pretty crabby. We were a little bit leery to get his shots after hearing a lot about autism and adverse effects so we did our research and finally came to the conclusion that the benefits outweigh the risks…but, poor guy! He’s a trooper! Yesterday he went to the doctor and he seems healthy and happy! He now weighs 14 lb 8 oz and is 26 inches tall. This kid is just growing like a weed…he’s growing up too fast!! I am sure to my parents it seemed like just yesterday that I was getting into my mom’s purse and putting lip stick all over my face or sulking because I thought kids would make fun the pig tails mom put in my hair and now I am raising kids of my own.
Well, here is a picture of Preston helping me with the laundry. We recently had to re-wash ALL of his clothes, blankets, sheets, and everything he really touches because I think he was having an allergic reaction to the detergent we were using. A horrible rash covered his back and was spreading to his stomach and limbs. These poor kids have such sensitive skin!
One last thing before I sign off…A big thank you to my fantastic husband who is at Macey’s Grocery store right now (it’s almost 1 am…and don’t ask why I’m up…I really don’t know!) scrounging up some boxes for our move. Thanks lover, you are wonderful!!

We got all of our boxes at Macy’s too when we moved from your house. They’re great. Really cheap though. We left them in our flooded basement after we moved and they just fell apart. Totally out of the blue.

I hate shots! I feel bad for the nurses too, all they do is make babies cry all day long. I’m not sure I could live with myself.

I remember having the sweats when I had to take Tab in for the first time – I didn’t sweat until I had to hold her down. Poor thing. I wanted to cry for her. But she was fine just as soon as I picked her up. Kids are so resilient.
