I'm so glad you felt well enough for the outing. I'd share the chocolate chip cookies I'm baking now, (my mommy taught me good sharing manners too OOOOH gotta go, my DS just brought in a box from FedEX...my new cake pan order is here! YIPEEE!!!

Paula

I let three of the least germy people hold him! Hehehehe.

Hey, I can post those cuppies here!! I wonder why it won't let me post them in the other thread. Weird.

Oh Mel they look delicious ! and pretty to !Ok thats on my list to ! You explained it on the cuppy thread right ? How long will that berry last and not make any juice ? Do you carry germ free wipes or lotion for those bad people that have to always tough a sterile baby LOL!

Yes, I think I explained them in the other thread. The fruit should be fine for at least a day, minimum. I put them on there last night around 8 and today at 1pm they ate them and there was no sign of juice.

And yes, I have wet wipes of course, but I also have a little thing of antibac. gel that hangs from the diaper bag. I am anal... it's not my fault.

WOW !! Those berries did good then !

Wow Mel those cuppies look wonderful and I'm glad Fiddle asked about the germs because I was going to if she didn't. Can't be too careful with our little cupcake. Don't worry to much about the Cradle Cap. My daughter had loads of hair and the doctor had me use dandruff shampoo. But that was about 30 yrs ago. I'm sure it probably causes cancer or something now.

I used one of those plastic soft bristled cradle cap brushes and it's pretty much gone. I used it yesterday and today and it's almost gone. It wasn't really cradle cap in the sense that it was that yellow scaly skin... it was just that his hair prevented the top layer of skin from peeling off completely. You know how they peel after they're born. Well that happened the first week or so, but the hair was stopping the top of his head from fully shedding it. But he looks great now! Yay! I didn't even have to use any oil or anything... just a little gentle muscle!

Your such a good mom !!!

I second that Fiddle. Do you think his hair will stay light or do you think it will darken up. Alex's hair looks light too doesn't it?

Hey fantastic news! For all the pain and suffering I've been through in the past 5 weeks, Murphy's law decided to reward me! That's right... I've been handed a nice fat slab of... PAIN AND SUFFERING!! Hahahaha! Yah, my kidney stones are back. WHY!?!?! I guess the rest of my pain wasn't enough, we just needed to top it off! Of course, yesterday I had to have a cracked tooth fixed and that is NOT helping the headaches. But, I am in good spirits, and only whine about it here!

I went in today for a CT and some Xrays (I had lithotripsy last August) and they found a few more stones in the left kidney. BUT, due to the c-section and all the problems I've been having they don't want to treat it right now. He scheduled me to come back in one month to reevaluate. In the meantime I am supposed to OD on Ibuprofen and call them if the pain becomes unbearable.

The good news is that Zach and Alex are both fantastic, cuter than should be possible. Zach does OK at night, although he wakes to eat like every 2 hours. *sigh* I know I'll sleep someday, and I'll look back and laugh about how tired I am right now! I know this part goes so fast, so I'm trying to enjoy it as much as humanly possible.

Hmmmm... I think you are all overdue for a current pic... you know, to cheer up my whining! In the first one, they're playing on the floor, in the second, Alex is helping me lotion Zach after his bath. Too sweet. What a great helper!

Well MOM ..Just looking at those adorable happy healthy sweet little men of yours should ease up any and all pain for at least a short while ! And doesent Alex have an adorable head full of blonds curls ! you will have your hands full in a few yrs with these two ! beating off all the girls for sure ! try and feel better !

Yah, one of my nicknames for him is "Curly Joe". Pictures do NOT do it justice! You should see it in person. The most beautiful silky curls. My stomach does little flips when I look at it!!

You never said how the sexy dentist was ? Did everyone love the banana bread ? cupcakes you took in ? Oh and did you remember to get your teeth checked while you were there ?

He was mighty fine!! And I mean that in all possible ways! Hahaha!

But they went nuts over the cupcakes! The hygeinists couldn't even wait... the minute I walked back there they came flooding in and ate some! They said they were the best cupcakes they've ever tasted. And one of them is getting married soon (which I did not know) and now she wants to talk to me about a cake! YAY! I love it when I get orders from doing something nice.

What flavor cuppys did you make ? Malt ? Nothing like feeding Sugar to all the hygeinists and people trying to save their teeth ! Did I say what a great idea that is LOl!!!

I did six each of Chocolate Malt, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Vanilla Dulche de Leche, and Vanilla Raspberry. They went nuts! And hey, if you think they don't ever eat sweets... yah right!! It's just like Doctors and Nurses that smoke. They know better... do it anyway. Well, eating sweets isn't quite as bad as smoking, but you know what I mean!

Yes I was just kidding ! My neighbor who just passed the boards and is a RN ! 25 yrs I think ! anyway they built their house by us and just got married and shes always smoking behind the house cause her new mom in law doesent know she smokes !! ( so she thinks anyway ) I thought the same thing You should know better your a RN for petes sake !!! Medical people are the worst ! I would love to see pictures of your cuppys they always look so tempting ! You have my email

Oh hey, they won't let us post pix in the cuppy thread, but I bet I can put it here... here's the one dozen sample box... they got a 2 dozen... this one went to my mom's office for a guy that's buying a huge (wedding) cake from me at the end of the month.

OH YUM!! Whats the 2 middle flavors ! And where do I get those boxes /inserts?
