Can you tell the difference?

Sorry for the flash/spotlight but I wanted to post a picture of the 2 syringes. I am still upset and thinking about complaining to the pharmacy.

Little Gianna and the Bad Tech

Poor little Gianna has reflux. They prescribed Xantac for her and gave us some tips to help. When I went to pick it up, I asked pharmacy tech how to give it to her. She told me to give her .6 ml twice a day and gave me a syringe to show me how much it was. It looked like sooooo much medicine and I had the terrible feeling in my stomach. I text Courtney because her daughter also had reflux. I got home and opened the bag, pulled out the medicine and 2 very small syringes. The tech had given me a syringe measuring 6 ml!!! There is a huge difference between 6 and .6!!! I had planned on calling the doctor to double check...I am so glad I listened to my gut and read the instructions myself!!! It just proves you have to double check everything no matter what. And why does a pharmacy tech who had to get training and certified not know the difference between 6 and .6 ml?

Anyways we started the meds this morning and also trying the wide nipple Dr.Browns. We like the Dr.Brown bottles but sometimes it seems like she can't really latch onto the nipple when she is really uncomfortable.

Trunk or Treat

Before I get to Trunk or Treat, for my baby shower the hostess gift was a Cleaning Lady. She came today and did an amazing job, I will never be able to get my house this clean, we are talking hospital sterile!

Tonight after church we were suppose to have Trunk or Treat. All the kids were going to dress up in their "G Rated" costumes and hit up all the trunks for candy. Well, the weather was yucky so they set up tables and did it in the fellowship hall. Madeleine was a bit overwhelmed but did great! She went to each table and said thank you! Gianna just sleep through the whole thing. Everyone loved both of their costumes and everyone was surprised that I made Gianna's. We can't wait for Saturday!

Mom's Club Party

Today was the Mom's Club Halloween Party at a Pumpkin Patch. We tried to take lots of pictures but Madeleine who is usually a camera hog was not interested in the camera at all. We colored bags and then went on a ghost hunt. Ms. Sarah helped Maddie since I was holding Gianna. We all took long naps and then went for a nice walk and then played outside for quite a while. It was a busy but great day and the weather was perfect!

Jennifer brought her bumbo and fabric and let us try it (Gianna is still too little)

Gianna

Tonight Gianna got her bath, put on her lady bug outfit from Aunt Erin and played with her rattle. So cute! She likes being on the floor but big sister prevents that a lot.

And there is the tongue

And she lost the rattle

Simple Pleasures

The other night I super cleaned the living room after the girls went to bed and decided to vacuum. The next morning Madeleine came downstairs and yelled "Vacuumed!" She took off her socks and was rubbing her feet on the carpet and then laid down and was rolling on it. She looked at me and said, "It is soooooooo soft!" It was like the child was seeing snow for the first time! (I really do vacuum often, I promise)

Getting the hang of things...

I am trying to get into a routine. It is working a lot better in my head then for real but hopefully soon it will all work out. I had to get my inspection done this morning and Madeleine was just a little angel, the people could not believe she was only 2. And Gianna slept the whole time. Well, Maddie told me she wasn't ready to go home yet so I said well since you were so good how about we go get chicken nuggets? She was all for that. I ordered a 10 piece thinking that would be plenty for the 2 of us. She picked the biggest ones which was fine, I was feeding Gianna so I was waiting to eat. She asked for more chicken nuggets...she ate 6 and all but 3 fries!!!! I had to scarf those 4 little ones down! Then at dinner she had 2 big helpings of pasta...I think she must be growing! The weather was nice so we went for a walk after nap. We had to cut it a little short because the 'squetos were bad! I broke a sweat but not sure if it was because I was walking and pushing the stroller hard or if it was just because I am that out of shape! Both girls loved the walk so we will have to work that into a routine. Oh and I introduced Finding Nemo to Madeleine today. She just kept asking "Where is Nemo?"

Gianna loves the swing and I love her pose!

Madeleine ready for the walk!

Kimmie was right, Gianna didn't roll out! :-D
