We have had a busy weekend, so I have not had a chance to update you all about the kids doctors’ appointment on Friday. I had my mother-in-law come with because both kids had an appointment, and they both needed shots. I am not dumb; I brought reinforcements. 
Let’s start with Madison. She is 44 1/2 lbs and 42 3/4 inches tall. Again, she is off the charts for her height. Obvioiusly, she does not get that from me. (I’m only 5′ 2″). I brought Madison in for a dual reason. She needed the second part of her Hepatis A vaccine, and her preschool teachers wanted me to talk to her doctor. We are not sure if its a hearing issue, an ADHD issue, an ADD issue, or she’s just a four year old. I haven’t posted about this since I wasn’t sure how I felt about the whole thing. They tell me that you can’t get her to pay attention unless you have her full attention (I swear she learned the selective hearing thing her father has). However, she’s always done with her worksheets first, and they told me she’s really smart. The doctor said it is way too early to even be thinking ADD or ADHD, and from what I have told her, there is nothing she sees at this point that it is an issue. She did tell me to call the school and have them test her hearing. There is no harm in doing that. Basically, Madison got a clean bill of health. She did end up with 4 shots instead of one though! She got the Hepatitis A and flu shot. They also gave her 2 shots that she normally would have gotten at her 5 year old check up. Basically, it was get 4 shots when I had someone there to help or wait till she turns five and have a huge problem. Once the shots were over, she was fine.
Will had his 15 month checkup (whoops — he’s almost 16 months). He is 26 lbs 2 oz and 32 1/2 inches long. His weight is in the 75th percentile, and his height is in the 90th percentile. Madison was always off the charts with her height, so these stats don’t surprise me at all. Will ended up with 2 shots and a lead test. He is right on schedule for all his milestones, so the doctor is happy with his progress too.
All in all, it was a pretty good day.

I took Will in for his one year check up today. He was 24 lbs 5 oz and 30 1/2 inches long. From last time (which was about 3 months ago), he’s put on about 3 lbs and 2 inches. Yes, he’s a big, growing boy. Over the next couple of months, we have to wean him off the bottle, get him on all people food, and get him drinking milk. We have our work cut out for us. The doctor was impressed that he had met all his milestones and really impressed that he can walk and clap at the same time (I didn’t realize that this was a hard skill to master). He got 2 of the 3 vaccinations he was suppose to (they were out of the Chicken Pox vaccination due to a nationwide shortage). We go back in 3 months for his 15 month checkup.
All in all, everything went great!

I’m on my way to jump into the shower, but I just wanted to update everybody on Will’s 9 month checkup appointment. They were extremely happy with everything! He is 28 1/2 inches long and 21 lbs. and 14 oz. This means that he grew an inch and a half and gained 3 lbs 6 oz since his six month checkup! He’s a big boy! LOL He’ll be needing some bull bars if he keeps growing at this pace. We’ve got a birthday party later today to go to, but I’ll try and get a picture of him up soon.

“They succeeded where lesser men failed,” said Chaplain Robert Glazener. “They proved themselves in ways that men out there who never served, never volunteered, never sacrificed, would never understand. They sought neither glory nor special recognition, but they gained both by their actions. They are the true American heroes today and deserve more honor than we can humbly bestow on them.”
The helicopter carrying the men went down seven miles east of the Bagram Air Base while on a training mission.
These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

My sister in law just added a niece to my family yesterday. She was scheduled for a C-section first thing in the morning (she had to be at the hospital at 5 am). However, they ended up having to push it back into the afternoon. Anyway, she had Georgia at 2:48 pm yesterday. She was 8 lbs. 2 oz. and 20 inches long. Bill and I are going to go see the baby tonight. We wanted to give her some time to recoop, and Bill didn’t get home from work till late. Again.
Now, if you have ever met my sister in law, you’d know she is normally tiny (yes, T you are even if you don’t believe it!). An 8 lb. baby isn’t huge. However, since Georgia was her second baby, you tend to get a little bigger the second time around, and T definitely looked pregnant. I don’t know if she got any stretch marks, but I know with my kids I did. When I was pregnant with Madison, I didn’t get them until 2 weeks before I was suppose to have her. Needless to say, I was not happy with it. With Will, well, we won’t even discuss it.
There are many products out there to help with stretch marks. I consider mine badges of honor you get when you have kids (I know, just keeping telling myself that!). When I came across All About Stretch Marks this morning, I was impressed. They have a ton of information that I never even knew about stretch marks. They also review several of the products on the market for stretch marks. The key to not getting stretch marks is prevention. They have a great list of advice that can help with not getting them. However, as mom of two kids, you can follow that list, and you still may end up with them (see above with my pregnancy with Madison). I don’t think there is a product on the market that will completely get rid of them. However, there are several creams out there that can fade them, so they are less notable. All About Stretch Marks is a great place to learn about stretch marks. If you are looking at trying to get rid of yours, I would definitely do some reading on their site.
