From the mouth of Marilyn

My sister in law (Bob's sister) is a pedatrician & has posted some good info on her blog about what to do when kids are throwing up or have a fever & when to take them to the doctor. Thought I'd share it after my last post about how much I hate sick babies. Thanks Mar!

We've got a 16 pounder

Aidan had his 4 month appointment on Friday and weighed in at 16 lbs 4 oz. Yes, that's a little big...75%. We may have a lineman on our hands.:)

Also-I'd like to you use my blog as a forum for a "leave the baby alone" campaign I'm on. Why is it that looking at a little baby is not enough for some people (especially kids)? Touching a little ones hands or face drives me crazy...especially during this time of year when there is so much going around.

Church is the worst. Kids & adults of all sizes and ages are like a magnet to babies. Sure shake hands with everyone and then come touch my babys hand & give him everything everyone has--who cares since you won't be the once up with them all night & paying each Dr. co-pay. Last summer I saw a 10 day old baby kissed on the face by a well intentioned woman & then 3 days later was sick.

Why is it that we ask before we touch someone's dog, but not their newborn baby? Yes, this is spoken from one who hates dealing with sick kids more than cleaning a toilet used by sloppy boys.

Enough said. Keep your hands to yourself.:)
