h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm impressed! It would never have occurred to me to think about the possible inherited allergy angle. I bet *most* moms wouldn't think twice about popping some down an infant's throat. You definitely *weren't* over thinking anything! Bravo!

Glad you had a lovely Christmas. Just think, next year Grace will be old enough to help watch for Santa -- such fun!

*searches in vain for the missing antibiotic from the above post*

Well, the only negative so far is that Grace threw up the first dose. Then again, I think she was just getting ready to throw up anyway, because the stuff didn't have time to reach her tummy

Amy, how is Grace doing today? Better, I hope.

I *hate* upchucking! Almost never do it, although in the last two months, I've done more of it than in the last 30 years! I have no idea why, but I hope it stops. Soon. Really.

She's doing great. Never did stop being cheerful or run a fever, which is why it took me 3 days to take her to the doctor I just thought she was eating not-food--her gag reflex is *really* OTT. Then she, er, fountained after being in her carseat, unable to reach anything and again while I was carrying her upstairs

It would be so good if babies could let us know what they'd eaten, and what's going on! My husband couldn't talk or write after his stroke, and sometimes I got really flustered, mainly because I couldn't determine if we needed to take him to the doctor or if he just needed to use the restroom.

Once, he was trying to tell me something was wrong, and I went down the usual list while trying to drive safely. By the time we made it home, I still hadn't a clue. Then, I found out I'd left the Sunday LA Times on the roof of the car at the market, and only the Sports section was left, sadly stuck to the grit on roof of my frequently unwashed car!
