Suzi, much ~ma.

Kat, I'm sure Lily would LOVE to see Actual! Factual! Three-D! Noah and Grace. She's a big Flickr fan of theirs.

Kathy, it's this one... I've never seen it, but a couple of years ago we were having a literary adaptations discussion, and Nilly raved about this version (I think maybe she had it on video and played it until the tape wore out) -- the handful of user reviews posted on IMDB are full of the same love (though, of course, less eloquent than Nilly's). Apparently it takes a crazy, risky, revolutionary chance and follows the plot of the book. And Sara has dark hair and is not cherubic and dimpled.

And, holy crap! Since the last time I checked a little over a year ago, it's finally come out on DVD!

Scrappy, the easiest treatment for infant reflux is to keep the baby as upright as possible for feedings, and for about half an hour afterwards. Also if possible try to feed smaller amounts more often (tricky if the baby is breastfed since you can never tell *exactly* how much they're getting.)

Their ped should also be able to recommend an antacid and give them info on dosing.

scrappy, the baby also needs to be propped up when sleeping, at least at a 30% incline.

Another thing that can help is sucking on a pacifier which increases saliva and reduces acid.

Finally refluxy babies respond poorly to tight clothing, so once you are past the swaddle stage, then loose clothes should be the key.

Second round of stripping done. I'm gonna go swim now.

I'm really not sure how I'm going to get all I planned done this weekend. I wanted to do some planting, so was going out later for plants. But I still have to clean (the irony of cleaning when I'm making a huge mess isn't lost on me) and regular shop and...uhng. Planting may wait.

More photos going up.

We are supposed to be driving down to San Diego in a few hours. Have I tidied or packed? No, no I have not.

I have a throbbing ugh headache and approximately zero desire to do anything. K just took Noah to swim lessons and Grace has thrown every block from the box into the den. After her breathing treatment is done, I plan on napping.

I have done more shopping. BB&B for new bathroom stuff, a new shredder, and the some hardware store stuff. Mac stayed with Grandma to watch cartoons. Then he and I went and ate lunch at a Furr's cafeteria. I LOVE CAFETERIAS. And on the way home we got him a bean bag chair. YAY!

I really want to work in the yard, but is close to 100, so no way. Maybe next week, tomorrow is church and Monday the movers come.

msbelle, I continue to love your updates. It's like the opposite of your previous ones!

I went and bought the pyrex bowls. I need to see if I can buy 1 7 cup and 3 more 2 cup bowls.
