    November, if I'm not mistaken, I think its to rule out lead.  There could be other testing of that blood, but I'm pretty sure those were the results that we received (no lead!)

    KAM - how was the second MMR?  I believe they do it at 4 years?  The nurse told me a while ago during one of DS's earlier appointments that they have the hardest time with that one, because that one a more »

    ALS, so exciting that you are past your DD1's due date.  Let's hope you just keep on going.  Watch, this one you'll be two weeks late and begging to deliver :-)

    Arcain, I remember DS doing that (mimicing coughing).  I can't remember when exactly, but thought it was funny.  Now the cutest thing is when he says "bless you" after someone sneezes.  The cat actual more »

    PurpleCow, thanks for that advice.  Its good to hear someone else say that as that is actually how I parent DS now.  I'm an only child raised by two very full time working parents, and I had to play a more »
