kids....
Matthew gave us a huge scare last night! Ben calls me at work and I can hardly hear him Matthew was screaming so loud! He had been screaming for 40 min like he was in horrible pain. That says a lot for a kid who never cries. I ran home and told ben to call our pediatrician. We thought maybe he needed to poop? So Ben got him to poop a little, but still he was screaming. The pediatrician said to look him over and call back if it kept up. We gave him a bath and he was happy :) We thought it was all over, but he started up again just as quickly as he stopped. We were so scared! He was all balled up so tight and just screaming like I've never heard a baby scream before. (again, that says alot since Ryan's been screaming since day 1:) We called back and his doctor thought he would be okay, but it might be some horrid intestinal thing and if it kept up to take him to the ER. THANKFULLY, he finally stopped after over an hour of screaming off and on. WHEW!!! He's still cranky this morning, but better after he's pooped some more. So scary!!! But hey, atleast we have health insurance now, so if it was something horrid we're covered :) Oh and an update on my garden.... I have about 10 baby watermelons :) They're so cute! My tomatoe plants have grown to be about a foot and 1/2 tall and have blooms. Everything else has blooms, but no fruit - except I have 1 squash growing and a bunch of beans. I don't know when to pick stuff though - the beans are long and bumpy and look ripe, but how can you tell? Maybe you know Erin? Mom?

Poor Matthew. It is awful when they are so young and can't tell you where they hurt - scary too! I'm no garden guru but try a bean and see if it's ripe. Sounds like you have a green thumb!Would love to taste some of your veggies!
What an aweful night! Noah doesn't really cry either. What a horred thought. He has spit up the last 2 mornings like 1/2 a cup of milk. We both get a huge shower. I think I need to tell him he is to young for milk baths! Any idea what that is Debbie? He doesn't seem to be in any pain in fact he is happy in the morning. We are giving him gas meds at night but the milk that comes out isn't pink. oh pick your beans sooner than later. The bigger they get the thougher they are. Once you let one get too big you'll know when to pick them! Enjoy your veggies. We need to get some sun here. It's just barely in the 70s.
Matthew went through the spits - or should I say showers :) We both got soaked! It was mainly when he didn't/wouldn't burp good. Mom knows, he did it when she was here a few times. I think he's grown out of it now. Even if it is something like reflux the pediatrician won't do anything unless he's screaming in agony or if he is not gaining weight from spitting so much. He's probably okay, though. You could try sitting him up in a swing or bouncer after he eats. Sometimes I think part of it was Matthew just being a pig :)
Abigail did that spitting up bit too for awhile. It scared me at first, but she quickly grew out of it and for her too, it was first thing in the morning and I think because I wasn't burping her enough and maybe she had to learn too how to burp and not let it all come back out with the air...know what I mean? The only thing that redeemed the whole experience was how happy she was afterward even though she'd covered herself and me with milk. So nice not to have a crying baby and having to clean up!
And your garden sounds great Debbie! Good job! This is our third year for strawberries and blackberries and they're so nice because they just grow themselves and all you have to do is pick them when they're ready! And each year they get more and more! Yum! Enjoy the fruits of your labor!!
