Happy birthday Daddy
Today was Daddy's 32nd Birthday!!!
And how did we spend it? We had to take poor Luke to the doctor... It started Thursday with sneezing... Then last night I woke up and he was next tome, and it was like having a hot water bottle next to me, I didn't have a thermometer, but I'm going with 102. We gave him Tylenol (not an easy feet). The next morning he was ok, but not eating, and around 11 I took his temp and it was 100, so we took him to the walk in urgent care. Ear infection yuck!
(Notice the shirt...it says My Mama is blogging this)
On a side note I should find out my new travel dates tomorrow!!! Im not too upset about post-poning my travel since I have alot of work, and Luke is sick...etc... Think I convice myself?
THE LAST COMMENT I WILL POST ON
Well, I don´t want to be mean but really I feel very sorry for these kids for a number of reasons. Apparently it wasn´t too long ago that you were in hospital because of bulimia and apparently not well yet(honestly both of you seem to have serious eatingdisorders) and now with your bad health you are adopting FOUR kids. Your family is actually living up to all the predujdices I had about ignorant americans, that you like exaggerations in everything, in this case poor adoptivekids! That you are booth highly educated doesn´t mean a thing in this case because it´s so clear that you don´t know anything about adopted kids and their special needs- it´s a far different thing from having (four)biological kids and it´s very naive and ignorant to think something else. How do you for ex think that four adoptivekids that are not siblings from the beginning and who have been through at least two serious separations, and maybe more traumas, will attach? It´s hard enough work with just ONE adoptivechild. I´m not writing this because I´m jelous and I do think It´s perfectly alright to adopt four kids but to adopt them one at a time and make sure that one child really is attached and secure before you get another one. And also that you are sure about your own health and strength before you have more children. I really start wondering how the socialworkers and authorities in your country can allow this...and I´m beginning to understand why China changed their rules... As I said I feel sorry for these kids, maybe you are kind and loving people with lots of friends and family but it´s not enough if you continue to be naive about this. I suggest you at least read a couple of books and research about adoptivekids to learn more before they all arrive. I hope it will work out allright!
Dear Another Scandaninavian
Well my blog is just a "glimpse if my life". I do not detail every book that I have read about adoption (I have a full library).
How many children do you have? Are any of them adopted? Is your life perfect? My blog title clearly states that I created this blog to allow my friends and family to follow us, obviously you are neither. Easy way for those in Scandinavia who are in uproar about my life, don't read my blog!
And how did we spend it? We had to take poor Luke to the doctor... It started Thursday with sneezing...

Alex had the same thing!! I'm sure Luke will be feeling better soon. (oh - and Happy Birthday!!)
Holy Smokes These people are nuts - I never like Scandanavia (sp) to begin with. WHY are these weirdos reading your blog???Why are they SO worried about YOUR children??Id there a way to block crazy people from your blog?? If only I would have the chance to run into one of them at TARGET!
Corey the world is full of people that think they know everthing. Trust me = these weirdos are just so bored with their own lives that they have nothing better to do than look for something and someone on the internet to bother! I feel really sorry for the poor idiot that is married to this whacko!!
Or for any children they might have as well. My family is a wonderful blend of lots of people that really ove each other and care for each other. We are all different and thank God for that!I would hate to live in a house full of people just like me!
So glad the twins will be home soon!!!
We are proud and honored to be 100% in support of ALL of your family - all SIX of you !
Julia McKenzie
Helene - that is

bring it on you viking!
Ok - I'm back again - where did you get that T-shirt?? I LOVE it!!! (and no comment to these horrible people posting on your blog. Why do they even read these blogs??)
Corey,
I am so sorry Luke is sick. I hope he feels better soon. As far as the comment you received today...I am so sorry that an ignorant woman thinks it is okay to comment on your life and your struggles. If anything, the trials you have gone through in your own life will make you a better mommy. You will be able to understand any struggles your children might have because you too have struggled. I have nothing else to say about Helene...she is not worth it.
The part about China makes no sense, since China's rule BEFORE was that you had to wait 1 yr before adopting another child....
I'm sorry Lukey has not been feeling well. :(
yeah, no comment. period.
Hope Luke is feeling better and that you get your new travel dates.
Gabriella has a similar shirt and I have one that says "I blog my child's entire life". We've yet to both wear them out :-)
OK Ms Scandanavia - you've done it again. How dare you pass judgement on these wonderful people again!! You judge David as having an eating disorder based on what -- your many hours of reading his medical charts and testing, your hours of visits with him because you are his dr.... I think not could it be that he is on medication that caused this or a metabolic issue. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS and leave them alone.
Now on to the children again-- STOP trying to differenciate between bio and adopted children. Bio children have to attach as well. And why do you all think these children are all coming home at the same time???? Luke came home first - they twins will be next oh and in case you missed that fact they are siblings- and then we are all praying that Sophie makes it home too. There is obviously time between each homecoming.. Would it be better if she just brought one twin home at a time to let the attachment and bonding process happen.. Really stop reading her blog and go back to your life and your country and leave them alone--
Umm, Ms. Scandaninavian, China's changing there rules for everyone, not just us Americans! So that's applies to all of you nutso there too. And to pass judgement on David is wrong, I guess because I'm also overweight I have serious eating problems and I guess my daughter should be growing up in an orphanage. No its called I have a medical condition and my weight will not change. I've went on radical diets and I have never dropped a single pound and my health is not affected by it. Its just something I have to live with but it's IGNORANT people like you that make my life a living hell for being overweight. So I guess you are also the type of person who would pass judgement on single mothers or gay parents? No one is perfect, including yourself. This family is doing what is best for themselves and only themselves, they don't have to answer to anyone let alone some uptight *ssholes like yourselves who seem to pass judgement like you are God.
I just want it noted that I am keep myself silenced about the comments from our 'Scandaninavian' readers. For those of you who know me, you should know that it's a task all in itself.
The older sister...
that comment that person made is outrageous. don't let that bother you, more than i'm sure it already has. i think i can say that what you and your husband are doing is a courageous thing and a true blessing for those children, whether it be one or four. i don't see where your health issue (being an eating disorder) is truly going to effect your children. there's many other things that person needs to be worrying about. keep up your excellent kids, and for those of us who love kids and know how to give them perfect lives, the more the merrier! you get as many as you can handle!! and good luck and best wishes. Corey (from MO)
It's hard to believe someone could be so rude, and pretend to know something about your life. It leads me to believe this person just wants to stir up trouble - probably couldn't care less about the topic of adoption. I bet it's a pimply-faced teen who can't get a date for the prom, so he/she's got to fill time somehow ;)
