Vitamins, Unscammed?, Kisses


Well, well, well. Have I mentioned that about a week ago Aaron ordered us some very expensive vitamins called Reliv? They are powdered vitamins that you have to mix in water or juice to drink. He also ordered some for Maddy. First of all, these vitamins are nasty in just plain water. I have been taking mine with oj. Although still not a symphony for the tastebuds, it does make the vitamin powder tolerable. Aaron got something for his joints that he mixes in with his as well and I guess that stuff is really disgusting. Maddy got vanilla and chocolate flavored powders. We mix a heaping baby spoon of it in a couple of her bottles every day. I really need to try hers one day and see how good or bad it is. The first day Aaron tried to mix the whole half scoop she was supposed to take in with her bottle and she completely rejected it. We have been mixing smaller amounts and putting it in her food and she really tolerates it well now which is amazing because it makes her formula gritty. We ended up getting these because some people we knew in York sell them and since Aaron thinks we are getting old, he decided we needed some good vitamins. Of course the people who sell these have all kinds of miracle stories about what these vitamins have done all sorts of aliments. Another thing I should mention is that these vitamins were formulated by a biochemist--another connection to get Aaron to buy them. The verdict is still out. I'll let you know if I start feeling and looking like Wonder Woman in the next few weeks.
A couple of other news items I wanted to mention--I got my money back from the magazine scam thing! I couldn't believe they actually sent my check back. So I guess this is one of the more reputable of the magazine scam organizations I've read about since my debacle with the door to door magazine saleswomen a couple of weeks ago. I was very relieved. VERY relieved.
The big news this week is that Maddy has learned how to give kisses. They are slobbery but they sure are sweet! Right now I am the only person she will give kisses too. I know that will change soon as it should, but I am enjoying being the privileged Mommy who is the only one who gets Maddy kisses right now.

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

Another Sonogram

We went to the high risk pregnancy doc today for another sonogram. This time he could see all four chambers of the heart, the pulmonary valve, etc. In his words it looked "dramatically better". He feels there is still some slight compression on the heart and that we need to continue watching it. As of now he cannot see anything that is causing it and the MRI did not see anything either. He also felt that the hands were okay. They are not clenched fists at least as he first thought, meaning that the fingers aren't overlapping each other. Her hands are still in fists and she won't open them but he said he has had other babies that have not opened their fist in the sonogram but the hands have been normal at birth, so we still have a lot of hope for those little hands. He was able to get a better look at the face today, no cleft palate, so that is a huge blessing. The feet are still concerning. They are definitely clubbed but she is also not moving them. She is moving her...

More Miss Maddy pics

Here are some more pictures of Maddy. I know everyone is eager for pictures. We got to put her first little outfit on last night. She got out of the incubator bed and into a regular bassinet so she can now wear clothes and have her own blankies and stuff. It is great.
