I Survived!!
June 3, 2009
So Keira got sick again last night at about 1130. I set up camp beside her crib after that. Amazing how comfortable the floor can be when you know its your only option to get some sleep. She woke at 4 for a bottle which I gave her and she quickly went back to sleep. When she got up this morning she seemed to be ok. She never did get sick again today but you could tell at times she wasnt herself. So I fed her mostly water and towards the end of the day watered down formula. Thank goodness it didnt get any worse and that Conor has so far escaped it.
Tomorrow is Camp Day at Timmy’s so the kids and I are going to go in for a visit. I think Keira has been in to Timmy’s but not Conor. Anyways, not much else to say about today, just thankful that Keira’s sickness didnt get any worse!
Clown and Codfish

Today Keira and Conor went swimming for the first time. And what a fiasco that was, well the prep, not the actual swimming. We packed them into the car and drove to swim lessons. Half way there Keira started puking all over her carseat and my new car!! So when we got the rec centre I took off her shirt and wiped her up w/ Shauns spare tshirt.
I dont know how moms do it w/ only one baby. We got changed in the family change room. What do you do w/ your baby when your changing? I dislike public swimming pools very much, so many germs and it really makes me gag to think of it. I have never been able to walk on a pool deck or in the change room w/ out stepping only on my tip toes. we ended up having to put one of our towels on the ground to change the babies (we were in a change cubicle and the bench was too small to do this w/ the babies on it).
So into the pool (10 min late by now). Keira was not too much of a fan. Conor loved it. I think he drank half of the pool. We played a little game where each baby is a fish. Keira was a clown fish and Conor was a codfish (so the tradition continues down the family line). By the end of class Keira did enjoy floating on her back but I think she was happy to get out of there.
We came back home and Keira seemed to be fine. But then I fed her supper and up it all came again. Luckily was only in a diaper. After her next bottle she just kind of lied there and started to fall asleep. It concerned me a bit but I put her in her crib and she fell asleep. I keep checking on her to make sure she is still breathing. Im dont do well when they are sick. I get that feeling that I used to get when they were sick in the NICU/Peds. Hopefully she is better tomorrow.
We got a new vehicle on Saturday. It is a 2008 Lincoln MKX. Personally I had never heardof it before. We originally were looking at the Ford Edge. MKX is like an upgrade to the edge. He showed us the MKX and we fell in love. Low in kms and is just what we needed. I can sit in between the kids in the backseat and our stroller fits in the back w/ room to spare. I love driving it but havnt gotten much of a chance. Been tempted to just go out but IM trying to be mindful of the environment and how much gas costs!!
