My New Best Friend

I'm learning so much just by watching Little Einsteins.  That show is awesome and the theme song is catchy!  JM likes it a lot but it's seriously educational.  Like, for example, I learned that the theme from 90's TV show Wings was actually a classical music piece, not just a theme song.  I love that show and I DVR it every morning on USA now!  Learning things that should be well-known fact reminds me of a few years ago when I learned that Hall & Oats the singers were NOT, in fact, HAULING OATS.  Jordan still doesn't let me forget that one.  I guess we didn't learn such things in AP classes in high school or through ALL five years of college.

Anyway, my new best friend is.....................

The Germ Guardian!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish that I had gotten this months ago.  It's the Germ Guardian and it kills 99% of germs in 30 minutes.  What's great about it is that you can put pacifiers, bottle stuff, toys, and breast pump pieces in it!  It says it uses dry heat to sanitize, which is safer than harmful chemicals.  It's perfect for right now with the stomach bug going around and colds and stuff!  What I like about it is that I can put plush toys in it since I'm never really sure they're clean.  I'm not crazy-sanitary-mom, just come by our house anytime and you'll see, but I really love this product.  Their website says it kills: Staph, RSV, Coronavirus, E. Coli, and salmonella.  Now, it's a little loud, kind of like your exhaust fan above the stove.  It runs for 30 minutes and shuts off when it's done!  I ordered ours from Babies R Us but you can find out more information, here.

Jackson is STILL smelling so bad.  We had to crate him last night because we could not take the smell!  The groomer is closed today so I have to wait until tomorrow to call.  He's so matted and he really, really needs a BIG haircut or we would attempt to bathe him ourselves!

John Michael slept ALL night again!  I can't believe it.  I thought for sure we would have a really rough night since he has the stomach bug.  I was so worried all night long that he might throw up and I wouldn't know, but he did not.  I also wrestled with wondering if I should mess with this precious, precious sleep and wake him up to feed him.  I was worried about him not getting enough fluid.  He did throw up his first morning feeding, so still no food for him!  His diaper wasn't as full, but he had decent output.  His diapers still should be a little more wet, but I know a little dehydration goes along with this.  It's funny the problems that you face as a new mom: should you wake up the baby during the night to feed him even though he's just started sleeping through the night without eating, what if he runs a fever and you don't know, what if he throws up and you don't know that, either, should you sleep back there in case he throws up and on and on and on.

Hopefully, the rest of the day will go well.  John Michael is sleeping very well right now so I'm hoping we have a great day!  Hope you have one too!

Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.
