Alyssa's Follow-up appointment

This week Alyssa went to her regular pediatrician for a check-up, since last week we had to see the on-call pediatrician.  Her ears are clear & she has no side effects from the steroid I had to take for my bronchitis.  Dr N said there are really only a handful of medications that can't be taken while breastfeeding & we did the right thing by feeding Alyssa after examining the risks.  She didn't have any advice/suggestions on how to get Alyssa to take a bottle.  Thanks, here's $30!

We were supposed to visit Santa at story time, but we didn't make it out of the house & I'm so glad now!  Poop Day 7!!!!  If we would've went to see Santa it would have been around 9:45.  So, around 10:00, Alyssa would be sitting on Santa's lap with a room full of people watching AND Santa's day would be ruined.  Whew!  Just barely dodged that disaster!

This morning my neighbors gave me some entertainment.  No, they weren't smoking pot on the front porch this time.  I had opened the blinds on the side of the house in the living room which I rarely do & out of the corner of my eye noticed a boy & girl walking out on the porch.  Mom had already left for work.  Boy helped girl put school books & bag in the trunk & proceeded to make out in the driveway!  Get a room!  A couple of minutes later, two other girls come out of the house & get in the car.  Finally, boy & girl stop making out & boy starts walking down street while girl drives off in car.  Hmmmm, WTH?  Boy walks down a little alley behind the shop up the street and.....pulls out in a car??  Shady, shady, shady!
