We Have the Swine Flu…Yes the Swine Flu. Oink, Oink.

Our household has officially been hit with the dreaded swine flu, otherwise known as H1N1.  And it is gross.  We are almost over it at this point, but it was no fun while we were in the thoroughs of sickness.  We think we can trace it back to the kid’s daycare.  One of the other [...]

The Flu Shot Debate

Ah, the ever so popular debate: To get a flu shot? Or not to get a flu shot? For me, the choice is pretty simple. I work in health care, have two children in daycare, and am a pharmacist (hence I believe in drugs and vaccines) so OF COURSE I GOT MY FLU SHOT. Did [...]

Plagiocephaly update

Remember the curse of the flat head?  Need a reminder, see this blog.  Brooklyn has had her second recheck for her plagiocephaly and it looks good!
