Here's one of those random bits and pieces posts.
Still waiting on the final closing on the construction loan. We're thinking it may be next week! I am so excited. We actually (thanks to my brother and his wife) caught a great deal on low-e windows at Lowe's this week. (energy efficient windows) We were able to buy 18 0f the 24 windows we need HALF PRICE! Isn't that awesome?!?
Tuesday I took Little d to the doctor regarding her tummy issues. We had tried lots of fiber, prunes, cutting back on milk, and nothing was solving the problem. Thankfully there is a no-taste powder called Miralax. She takes half a cap (about two and a half teaspoons) in 8 ounces of liquid a day and so far we are seeing some improvement. No more upset tummy and more pooping. I know TMI! But if you have a kid going through something like this I thought I would share and let you know that your doctor may have a solution! He also told me something surprising. Apples, carrots and bananas are foods that cause constipation. Bananas I knew, but the others I didn't. So there's that.
Little m. Is. Cutting. Four. Eye. Teeth. I was beginning to think she would never get those teeth and here they are showing up all at one time. Vampire teeth just in time for Halloween! She's doing well though. I had to give her Tylenol a couple of times for pain, but other than that, she's her usual self.
Tomorrow night we are going to IHOP to eat with the in-laws to celebrate D's grandpa's 96th birthday. Should be fun. Hope this time to get a table that doesn't slope.
Saturday will be trick or treat night. My mother in law made the cutest little witch costumes and I am excited to see them both dressed and ready to go---will take pictures of course!
Sunday is that Flea Market thing I've been preparing for. You should see the pegboard displays my dad made. Well, you will. I'll take pictures when everything is set up.
Morning sickness. Seems to be getting much better. I'm cleaning house again (sporadically) and even (gasp) cooking!
What a completely blessed life I have! Thank you all for stopping by! And thanks also for all the sweet comments--seriously you make my day! Oh and I forgot to say...I'm glad you like my little baby blinkie over there. I thought it was so cute when I saw it on another blog, but I was hoping it wouldn't creep anyone out. I figured if my five year old liked it, it was okay. ;)

Miralax is great...very gentle and tasteless like water...we give it to tons of our patients.
Can't wait to see all the photos!!!
Have a wonderful weekend Mere.
Apples? Really??? Not for my youngest... give her an apple and she gets diarrhea for days. Seriously... it's disgusting... lol
I hope the teething pain is gone in time for trick or treating!!!!
I wanted to share that my daughter had this same problem and same solution several years ago. It helped her immensely. The great thing is that it is now OTC. We have it in the cupboard for "backup":) I hope it helps your little one.
It made all the difference for Jake and Julia. It was like daylight and dark. Neither have a problem now. I think it took a couple of years tho.
poor girl.. Im the one in the house with tummy issues and I hate it. Sometimes I wanna post "I HATE IBS" on facebook but then think.. nah TMI.. I hope she starts to feel better and its not something she has to deal with forever.
