So I had a request to post again! Thank you!

How is life at the Linberger's? Well, good and not good all in one. Isn't that everyone's life? I'll do good: Gabriella is doing overall really well. In fact, she is playing with Barry right now, which is a BIG move. When she wakes up in the morning, she is laying in her crib peacefully, smiling and waiting. She is a doll- she doesn't scream nearly as much- hey I can handle the "Happy" screaming! She knows how to do a pig sound, which cracks me up! :) Barry seems happy to be home, especially since he has the week off. It's been nice having people drop by and really nice having dinners dropped off! Not too shabby not having to cook! :)

Now for the real life: I have been horribly sick since yesterday. I have had stomache cramping (and more if ya know what I mean), then it turned into a fever and then overnight vomiting all night. Lovely. I have been feeling sick and nauseaus like all day today, and my fever went up higher tonight than last night. Not too lovely. Antonio seems to have gotten worse with his adjustment- he is sobbing at the drop of a hat, a bit grabby with Gabriella ie taking toys from her, a little bit edgy and not too nice to others right now. Poor kid. Gabriella wakes up every two hours during the night. Not so lovely, especially when it is in between vomit episodes. SHove the bottle in the mouth- and dart to the latrine! Yuk. Despite the waking up, all she needs is her bottle put in her mouth and she immediately goes back to sleep, so that is nice! Some day we'll hit the "taking away of the bottle" but for now, she needs the comfort and security. I myself have hardly left the house since we got home. I am contented getting used to two kids not going anywhere. But that's all about to end since we have stuff going on this weekend. Yikes, back to real life! Huh? What's real life? Huh, there is an outside? Well, I dragged my aching body over to the playground for a bit today- bit outing! haha! Gabriella has been needing me to be right with her most of this week so far. Sometimes I can put her down without crying, but often she needs me right near her. This can get difficult. HOwever, I am watching her crawl herself into the kitchen right now, so perhaps there is a breakthrough! PUtting her to bed at night has been a bit of a difficulty. She has been screaming and crying each night when we go to put her to bed. I guess its transition and anxiety, but its weird since she doesn't do it at nap time. Hm.

Overall, things are going pretty great, but just not without its challenges. We are blessed, blessed, blessed and happy to be a family of four!!!
