Hi Girls!

Sorry I have been MIA again. Things have been sooo busy!

Jen and Denise, Wyatt and Nicholas are sooo cute! Isn't it amazing how big they get so fast?

Hopefully the bugs will slow down a bit now that the weather is getting warmer. I have been worried about that swine flu going around so we haven't been out too much.

Daniel is spitting up much less now. I think his gastric valve is definitely more developed now, thank God! We just had our 4 month check up and he's 15 pounds 3 ounces and 25 inches long!

Denise, Work is going great. I actually have 2 jobs. I'm a medical transcriptionist working from home. I do this about 24 hours a week. And then I am also a consultant for Tastefully Simple working from home- you might have heard of it- it's a home taste testing company. I do "taste testing parties". Currently I am doing 1 party a week along with supporting a team of 35 consultants.

It's definitely challenging at times to work because I would love to spend all my time with the baby, but I need the income.

Sooo, Jen, I hear you on the wanting to be a SAHM. WAHM is not so bad if you are disciplined. It will take time to get your business off the ground. It took me about 1-1/2 years to get my Tastefully Simple business going strong enough to quit my full time job. So I did both for 1-1/2 years along with taking care of my 2 year old daughter. It was hard but I didn't mind spending the extra time on my business because I knew that I was the one that was going to benefit. Good luck!

I think Daniel might have a food allergy because that terrible rash on his face never went away. The pedi had to give us a steroid cream to put on it. It finally went away. I have cut peanuts, milk and eggs from my diet. It's really hard but I think his skin looks better. But he is still battling cradle cap- just patches of it. I'm wondering it it's also related to the "allergy". Do you guys have any suggestions or solutions?

Here is another pic of him, we just had him baptized a couple of weekends ago.
