Just a quick note as I am going through the paperwork to take to China with us...
I am not going to password protect the travel blog. I am setting up a separate blog because it makes more sense to me that way, and I'll be able to read through the entries more quickly and find stuff, etc. But no password. I don't think we will need a password. I go back and forth, but no, no password.
The new blog is bubbling up to the top of the list, so the link will be here soon. Soon being a relative term when one is furiously packing for China and needs to come up with a "G" picture and a "G" show-and-tell before 12:15.
We don't anyone to miss out on the fun.

Gripe Water, my magic wand
I have often mentioned the "magic" water that I give the babies. I have heard that it is really hard to find in the US so I have never mentioned much about it again, because I did not want you make you want something you could not have. I have my shipment flown in from England and Australia, so I can hear those friends say to the Americans what took you so long to discover this secret?
Just to explain to you how wonderful this stuff is Nathaniel, Rachel and Jasmine drink twice the amount of formula when they have gripe water 10 minutes before giving them their bottles. It helps their stomachs so much and it prevents them from being gassy, griping, crying, screaming and the like. For the cleft palette babies is makes the word of difference as we found with Michael, Gabriel and Sarah, since they drink so much air. I can say that I think it has saved some of the babies lives who have struggled to eat like Nathaniel. Jasmine set a new record this week by picking up 0.6kg IN ONE WEEK. That is one and a third pounds. That is such wonderful news as I get her ready for surgery in two months.
Well, last week Kay found the Gripe water on Amazon.com :) http://www.amazon.com/Woodwards-Gripe-Water-4-4oz-Pack/dp/B000JWK4HS/sr=8-3/qid=1171429122/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/104-6353112-9231145?ie=UTF8&s=hpc This is for a 4 pack. Great price!! So here is the gift that for you or anyone you know with with a baby. They are going to love this gift.
I love sharing this "find" with you because I know how much it can help.
Love and laughter,
