Stung by a WASP!

Stirling and I had just gotten back from a much need and very enjoyable walk around the neighborhood. After walks Stirling is in a wonderful mood. The two of us were just in the living room(Stirling playing with his toys and I was on the computer) when all of a sudden Stirling lets out a very loud and very upsetting scream. I was startled as to why he was suddenly devastated and quickly tried to figure out what had gone wrong. I look to my left and see a wasp just walking on the carpet. All I could think about was that Michael was gone teaching his class and what to do  if Stirling were to be allergic! I proceeded to figure out where he could have been stung while trying to kill the wasp about 5 times and then I just covered it with Stirling's frooggy potty... to have Michael deal with the wasp when he got home. I finally found the spot where the wasp had stung my sweet baby boy, his inner thigh. Thank the Lord he got stung on a fatty part of his body, and it turned out Stirling was just wanting his bottle and to be held. I am so glad he was not allergic to the wasp!!

It Has Been A VERY LONG WEEK

We have had such a long week with Stirling teething, Michael being sick and having two exams to study for myself. I want to thank echinacea and vitamin D for helping Stirling and I stay well during this past week. I usually give Stirling his vitamin D daily to help his immune system while at daycare. Since teething, Stirling has become VERY attached to his mommy, which has made it almost impossible for me to get anything done around the house one handed; therefore, I decided it was time to buy another baby carrier for Stirling. I decided that he must be able to be carried on my back, which led me to looking into purchasing a BabyHawk. I had looked at the mei tai before, but was hesitant, so this time I decided to contact the company to see if I was not too small for the babyhawk. I was informed that the Oh Snap! would possibly be too big, but the mei tai was right up my alley. Michael agreed that we could buy it and my mom helped me pick the exact colors with the help of Michael's opinion. I went with Pumpkin straps and two super cute designs(the babyhawk I purchased is reversible). After a very long week, the babyhawk has arrive and Stirling is the happiest he has been in a very long time! I am so pleased that Stirling is sooo happy while in the back carry! Perfect end to a difficult week!
