Sick

Sick time in Hutchison land. Lizzie went to the ER Saturday night. Dehydrated from throwing up so much.

Sunday night, Allen and Steph are the sickest they’ve ever been. Period. I wish this bug on no one. Right now, we’re surviving on intermittent sleep, Gatorade, Saltines and some applesauce. Constant stomach pain. Constant need to fight trouble inside that wants to come out. Steph’s got a 102 fever.

Please pray her fever breaks tonight and that Jesus heals us thru sleep.

My mom got Ellie Sunday night so little one wouldn’t get sick. Lizzie is on the mend and back to her normal self, though she is sleeping more than usual. But we’ll take that.

Time to go sleep. Thanks.

Better Late than Never

Since we are posting on Lizzie's check up maybe we should let you all know how great Ellie's two week appointment went (since it happened almost two weeks ago...oops!). She is growing like crazy. They hope that by two weeks that a newborn should be able to get back up to their birth weight (newborns lose weight to start off). Our little girl was 7lbs 12oz at birth and was 7lbs 5oz when we left the hospital. At her two week check up she had made it up to 8lbs 7oz. She is growing like crazy and hasn't stopped since her appointment. She already is out of newborn clothes and seems to be getting wider and longer each day. Such a blessing to have two healthy little girls to enjoy!

Fries

Lizzie had her 18 month dr appt today. She’s in the 75th percentile for her height. 6th percentile for her weight. (No joke)

So the doc said that we should add butter, cream, cheese, extra oils to her diet whenever possible until her weight catches up to her height a bit.

We promptly went to Burgerville after the appointment. :-)

Side note: had the Sweet Potato Fries for the first time ever – my mouth has no idea what to do with that taste. I know it’s good, but my mouth can’t categorize it whatsoever.

Cookie Creations

Lizzie recently learned just how fun baking with mommy can be. Here are our creations:

Sometimes I get s'eepy when mommy tries to burp me after a meal.
