Purple People Eater

Gunnar is the little Purple People Eater! We just got back from the doctor...Gunnar still has thrush and now I have round 2 of mastitis. The doctor was great I loved her, and she was so caring and understanding. She said that Gunnar and I have probably just been passing the infection back in forth and I should have been treated when Gunnar first got thrush. So to help kick this all in the butt, on top of the nystatin, the nurses also painted Gunnar's mouth with Gentian Violet and we have to repeat that in about 72 hours. Oh yes, I can hardly believe it, he is growing so well, he now weighs, 11 lbs, 9 oz, in 11 weeks he has more than doubled his birth weight.
All I can say is Gunnar is the cutest Purple People Eater I have ever seen.

Who knew that eating purple people was so funny!

I am so thankful for a happy and smiling baby. Gunnar does his fair share of screaming and being mad at the world, but nothing makes me feel better than when he looks up at me and gives me the biggest smile! I love this kid!

Besides going to the doctor, my job today has been the poop cleaner. Oma decided to take a nice big poop behind my back on the bed while I was feeding Gunnar, she is now in puppy prison. I am sad, because it has been over 3 weeks since she has pooped in the house. Then as I was cleaning up Oma's poop, Gunnar had a massive explosion in his pants and it got out of the diaper, all over his clothes and the bed. I think some fresh sheets are in order for today!
