Somebody knock some sense into me!

My parents did not come down for Christmas. Therefore, we are making a very quick trip to NY to see them. Even if I don't really want to drive that far, little brother already changed his plane tickets to fly back to Madison from Rochester, instead of National airport. My oldest 2 have volunteered to stay home and watch/take care of the cat and dog and be here when the repairman comes to fix the dishwasher, again. It is making a weird whining noise, probably something stuck in the food disposal. :)

Miss Rosalie

At 6 month adjusted, 7 1/2 months actual, she is now 13 pounds 5 ounces and 26 1/2 inches long. So she has gained 7 pounds 13 ounces and 7 1/4 inches over her lowest weight/height in the NICU. Size wise, she looks like a 2 month old, but does all the age appropriate stuff for a 6 month old. My #3, oldest son, was 11 pounds 8.8 ounces when he was born and around 13 pounds by the time he was 4 weeks old. :)

Sickness, ARGH!

Three more sick today with cold type symptoms. I wonder if they have flu, also?

Flu, part 2

Now my oldest has it. Only 8 more kids to get sick, plus hubby and I.

Swine Flu.

Swine flu
#5, aka Richie, has Type A flu. The most prevalent form now is Swine flu. It’s going to be a long week. :(

The cdc's website says he was contagious from 1 day before he got sick up to 7 days afterwards. He had a sinus infection and bronchitis when he went to the dr tuesday, but may have had the flu then. He just got the fever yesterday afternoon. The nurse today suggested we check him for flu, which came out positive before the DR came in to see him.
