Am I a blogging failure?

Ugh. How annoying I am to have not posted but once in a month. So much for keeping up with us huh? Sorry to anyone who may be reading. I vow to do better, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.

So, in a nutshell, here's what's been going on.

Willie has been put on some pretty hardcore meds. He's on Reglan 6x a day and Zantac 2x. These are both to help with his reflux which should be getting better by now but isn't. I've asked for a referral to a pediatric GI specialist but our doctor seems to think it isn't necessary. He thinks that with Willie gaining weight as well as he is it would be a waste of everyone's time. Fine, I understand that from a medical professionals view BUT you are not the one watching your child choke down food to just throw it all back up. Now, he has improved drastically with the meds. Where I have the issue is that the Reglan specifically is a neurological medication. It is something that he will need to be weaned from. I watch him like he is a ticking time bomb for side effects but we have been lucky so far. It just makes me nuts to have to give him medicine all day and all night long. I know there are many who have it way worse but when it's your baby, it your baby you know what I mean? In a nutshell, he is thriving on the meds. He is even eating 2 tablespoons of pureed food now. Yay Willie. In other Willie news, he is motoring around this house like it's nobody's business. He is cruising the furniture like a pro and walking behind anything he can move. He is happy, smiley, giggly, loving and fascinated with J. Having said that, he holds his own when they wrestle these days.

J is doing great. His vocabulary is multiplying in leaps and bounds. Not a day passes where he doesn't amaze me. He is so funny and sharp as a whip. He was so funny during football yesterday, screaming and hollering like a true fan. Kid is a trip!

I finally went last week and got my gym membership. Today was our first day and the boys did great at the daycare. No crying, no craziness, they just played while I ran 2 miles on the treadmill. Just a half hour today to start but it'll get better and better. I feel like a zillion bucks having finally taken the step to just do it. It's not like I think they won't survive without me for an hour here and there, it's just that I'm the mommy!

We had a great weekend. We got our new shirts (thanks a lot Michael Vick) so we were in our Falcons gear yesterday. Since we were playing the vikings we tried to do the local food, turkey legs, brats and sauerkraut. We hogged out all day long. It was a blast even though we lost.

I can't believe it is already September. December and Willies first birthday are creeping up on me. I just feel like the time is flying by and it's making me a little nuts. Can't it just slow down for a while? Can't we operate in slow mo' for a while? Please? My little boys are getting too big too quickly.

Oh, in other big big news. J is nearly potty trained. Just like that, I thought we'd give it a whirl one day and we've been diaper free for 3 weeks! We have an accident here and there and he's still in a 'sposie at night but we're nearly there. He is so proud of himself too and I am so thrilled. Talk about a break in the laundry.

Ok, I think the boys are nearly asleep and the Braves are already in the 6th so I must go relax for just a little bit before bed. I promise to try to be a better blogger. There are a million other things I need to talk about....all in good time. Tomorrow maybe I will have time to tell you all about our outing to watch the train demo. J was in heaven!
