I'm watching Hallie who is likely to cause (get in) trouble at a moment's notice but I just wanted to mention that ear infections can be caused by reflux. Email me off list if you want to talk more about this. This was a major culprit for Hallie's non stop ear issues at around 11 months actual to 16 months actual and totally sucked.

Hang in there and keep on asking for support. I worry all the time that Pob will die of something, and I haven’t had anything like your januaries. Hang in there and keep on asking for support.

If I had a January like you had last year I would hate the month too. But you're doing the right thing - getting on with enjoying your shiney new year because you do have so many wonderful things ahead of you - your little fire cracker Simone is going to make sure of that!

Sounds like January should be your month of plenty of sidecars and truffle chips and moratorium on tackling big questions, thinking about big issues etc. I agree–things tend to hit you later–or hit you again later.

It's been years since anything bad happened on that date but it was so bad for so many years in a row that I still refuse to change April's calendar until at least the 2nd. May 1st.

I found you when I was considering IVF and you were just starting your IVF cycle. I cried for you in January and many other times. I rejoiced when you brought your sweet baby home and thought of you when I had my baby in June. Things get blury after that;-), but I stop by every once in awhile and am thankful for the way you are able to put the ups and downs of motherhood into words. I'm just astounded that you've been able to keep blogging through it all, sharing your life and your story with everyone. I nominated your blog for Blog of the Year and I hope others will do the same. http://2009.bloggies.com/ Peace, Kristin Dear Alexa,

Ahem. You and your blasted good baby (heh, heh). I don’t think it’s ridiculous at all – but then again, I’m the most paranoid person on the planet. Ahem.
