Last Shower
Lynn and Kathy hosted our last shower at Lynn's house on Saturday. Lynn always throws great events, and this one wasn't any different. This was the "co-workers and friends" shower as opposed to the Austin "family and friends" or Ft. Worth "family" showers and it had the most people. It's always interesting when people from different areas of your life intersect in one place and time.
We had a great time and came home with a lot of stuff for the baby. We'll need to return some fo it, since we now have several duplicates -- for example we have at least one thermometer for each of the baby's orifice (we'll probably keep the ear thermometer) and we have lots and lots of baby blocks. But we also got practical stuff that we didn't know to register for and that should come in handy.
I hope that our baby thank-you notes will get out a bit faster than our wedding thank-yous.

You should also keep a rectal thermometer. When you call the pediatrician's office because your child is sick, they will always ask you what the rectal temperature is--they don't care about ear or armpit, and if that's all you have to tell them, they'll generally ask you to take a rectal temp and then call back.
It must depend on the pediatrician. We've never been asked specifically for a rectal temperature. It's true that the ear thermometer is less accurate. We generally add a degree to the temperature we get and report that.
The only time our two kids have had the pleasant experience of the rectal thermometer is when they were sick enough for us to haul them to the doctor's office/after hours clinic.
