Nice title huh?
Let me started with the weight loss. I took Ladybug to her 6 month check-up and she has lost 9 ounces and hasn't grown an inch since her 4-month visit. The doctor was somewhat concerned so he has put her on besides breastfeeding, cereal 2 to 6 Tbs twice a day, fruit 2 to 4 oz once a day, and vegetable 2 to 4 oz once a day. I have to take her back in a month to be weighed. She has tried two different cereals, bananas, peas, carrots, sweet potatoes so far and really likes them. I don't have a problem with her eating. She does want to nurse a lot and does wake up two to three times a night to nurse. I really think that I may not be producing enough milk. I am not to worried because she is healthy and alert. She is very active in her exersaucer and jumpy thing. But still you don't want to hear that your baby is losing weight. My niece is a little thing and the doctor was always concerned about her when she was a baby and she is fine. She is just a little skinny kid.
We move on to vomit. This morning Big Cubby complained about his head hurting and so we gave him some water thinking he might be dehydrated and just shortly after he threw up the water. He said he was dizzy. I called him absent to school and now he is lying on the couch. I looked up the symptoms and he could possibly have a migraine. It runs on my husband's side of the family. My mother-in-law and husband get them. I am trying not to panic. He is afraid to drink or eat anything because he does not want to throw up. I am keeping a eye on him the rest of the day.
Carded. Yesterday Hubby had an event for work close to home so when it was over he came home for the rest of the day. This allowed me to go out and have some Mommy time and get a break. I went to Chili's to have lunch by myself. I took the book I am reading right now, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, and took a seat. The waiter comes over and asks me would I like a drink while a looked over the menu. I ordered a beer and water and then he asks to see my ID. At first I thought he was trying to get a big tip from me by flattering me but that was not the case. Two women were seating behind me and when he went over to greet them the first thing he offered was a alcohol beverage. I noticed he did this to a few other tables that the people looked older. He did not offer me an alcohol drink. I was officially carded. The other people were not. This so totally made my day. I did give him a big tip because he made a 35 year old mother of three feel young.
Need to go and check on Big Cubby.

sick kids are the worst..good thing it was "just water" as that is not too hard to clean.
Carded eh? I got carded the other day in Boston..but everyone does when you walk in. I said "I must be going in to a place I shouldn't be going in to if I am getting carded now". It was a pre-game drink dinner before the bruins game. Ahh well.
You go girl! I love being carded except when I don't have my wallet, just money or the debit card.
Yay for the carding! Hope the kids are good ... I read Twilight not too long ago!
Yeah, I NEVER get carded anymore.
As for your little girl, I'm sure the food is going to help her gain weight again. My 2 bigger girls were both interested in and eating solids by 5 months old, so I know you don't always have to wait til 6 months like some books will tell you. Sounds like she's into it, though!
And I hope your boy gets better soon. This is when it's nice to be staying at home with the kids. Having some nice time to rest with mama is crucial.
