Sharing lots of germs lately...

We have had a rough few days to say the least in our house! Maddie woke up screaming last Saturday and we found her covered in throw up. It was everywhere! We thought maybe it was a one time thing, but she threw up for about 2 hours until she finally went back to sleep until 5 am. Thank goodness for my mom, because Maddie only wanted her. Maddie felt better in the morning, but she was definitely sick. She started having diarrea as well, so we went through quite a few outfits, blankets, and sheets all day.
We thought we had bypassed getting sick ourselves, but on Sunday afternoon all hell broke loose. Gabe started first and then me and my mom followed a few hours later. It was horrible. What made it even worse we still had to take care of Maddie. We were all snowed in, so nobody could help us!

So nasty, horrible, no-good virus, please GO AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK TO THIS HOUSE AGAIN!

Maddie's first ear infection :(

We had a rough few days last week. We went for her 2 month well check and we found out that Maddie had her first ear infection :( We also talked to the doctor about how gassy she has been, so after her recommendation, we switched her onto lactose free formula. So all in one day she was put on antibiotics and new formula...well big mistake! Maddie was a completely different baby for a few days...she screamed, refused to eat, and just was overall very unhappy. We almost thought she was colicky, but after a few days on the sensitive formula and a very constipated baby, we switched her back to her original formula and she is doing great again. I had tasted the lactose free milk and it was disgusting! Poor thing; no wonder she didn't want to eat :( But she is eating again and having regular poops and I couldn't be happier!! The things I get excited about now that I'm a mom.
Here are her stats at 10 weeks:
13 lbs 14 ounces
23 inches long
