This is just a quick little post to keep track of some of the little things in life. First, I wanted to update everyone on Ruby's progress. I appreciated all the encouragement and advice everyone imparted. . .and ultimately it all worked out. I tried pumping and medication for my milk supply, and we also tried different things to get her to take a bottle, and it was a few days of anxiety and frustration but now everything's great. She is nursing and taking bottles. The pumping and the medications didn't work out so well, so I'm just going to do my best. Now that she loves bottles, she is less patient with my slow let-down and weak supply. If she stops nursing altogether, I'm not going to be upset about it. She's doing great with formula and has put on 1 1/2 lbs in like 10 days. (That's a 10% increase in weight!) She's also sleeping better. . .which means, I am sleeping better!
I also have to write some funny anecdotes about my kids. So, I have mentioned before that my 2 year old is computer-obsessed. Well, I didn't realize how much it has taken over his whole existence until the other day. He was sitting on his little training potty trying to get some poop out, and I said "Did you get the poopies out?", and he said, "Nope, they're still printing." And once he was done, he said, "The Poopies printed!" Also, the other day he wanted Grandma to write his name on a picture he had drawn, and he said, "Can you type in my name?"
You might've noticed that my children are in Superman jammies in every picture for the last two months (since Christmas.) Yes, they wear them pretty much constantly, and wait by the washer when they're getting washed. Gavin is totally Superman obsessed and the only person who is remotely as cool and powerful as Superman is Jesus. The other day, we saw a fire truck going through traffic and Gavin said, "Jesus needs to work with Superman to clear out all the traffic so the fire truck can get through more quickly." That's right, the Hero Heirarchy consists of Jesus, Superman, and firefighters. Last night, Gavin said, "Next year I want Jesus pajamas for Christmas!" I was so proud!

pThat made my night! What fun memories that will make!
Don't know what that p is doing in front of what I typed???
I'm glad Ruby is doing better, and you too. I bet that's a huge relief. Super cute stories of the boys too. Funny, by 2 year old is also obsessed with computers too.
Yay for Ruby! That's so great. "Still printing"....ha! That seriously made me laugh. Love the heroes. Dylanie was upset that we weren't getting snow on Christmas Eve. She was not impressed with Santa and his lack of power to create snow. She said, "I know who could make it snow...Jesus." If Santa can't pull through, certainly Jesus can. Kids are the best.
