Here we go again...

with another crazy morning!  We got W dressed (in the cutest outfit ever) and ready for daycare this morning; he was enjoying some tummy time on our bed when he decided to empty the contents of his stomach all over his cute outfit, and the bed.  Back to the drawing board!  We had to take the yucky clothes off the baby and put clean clothes on.  Then we had to take the duvet cover off the duvet and put it in the wash.  (We will have to wash the duvet itself when we get home tonight.)   Then in the middle of all of this Mike notices that poor little Zoe has a very swollen anal gland (gross) and needs to go to the vet ASAP; she has an appointment tomorrow at noon... hope it doesn't rupture before then!

Warren had an appointment with a specialist this morning at 10:40, because he has a flat spot on the back of his head, "plagiocephaly".  I guess it's a big deal because his facial features could start growing wonky if left untreated.  Our 15 minute appointment cost us $130 for a nurse take one measurement and tell us to "reposition" him to his left side and keep him off his right side (where the flat spot is).  DUH!  They will check him again in 4 weeks to see if it begins to even out (I'm assuming that will cost another $130).  If it doesn't improve by the time he is 6 months old, we have the option to put him in a helmet to reshape his head.  Oh, they did mention that said helmet costs approximately $2500, and yes... you guessed it, insurance won't cover the cost.  Luckily, Warren's plagiocephaly is very mild.  I do not foresee any special helmets in his future.
