Update and How many clothes can one boy have?

Thank you for all your well wishes. I guess I should have said a little bit more instead of being cryptic and leaving. I had a CT scan of my abdomen because I have been having terrible stomach pains for years. They've done several tests over the years - including a gall bladder scan and the camera down the throat. I've been on Nexium for years. About once a month or so, my stomach spasms and I have to take Percocet to take the pain away. That's been the status quo for about three years now - not too big a deal - a Percocet a month and we're good to go. A few weeks ago I had the worse attack yet. I ended up taking 4 Percocet in about 8 hours because the pain was so bad. I saw my Dr. again and he said, "This isn't normal." You think? So we're back to more testing. Hopefully we'll find out something soon!

And on to the clothes - I'm out of control people. Seriously, somebody needs to stop me. I have an extreme case of ebay-itis going on. I've mentioned before how much I love to buy clothes for Camden and how much I love to dress him. Because of that, I do most of my shopping for him on ebay for several reasons. One, I like name brand clothes, but can't justify the cost for brand new stuff from the stores. The name brand stuff seems to hold up better and that's one of the things I really like about it. I can buy the cheaper stuff, but in my experience it falls apart faster. Two, we have no real stores near us (only a Walmart and Kmart). I would have to order everything off the internet anyway to get what I like. Three, I can get a ton more clothes on ebay for the same amount of money. I figure, to buy 7 new outfits for Cam at Walmart, I'd probably spend $10 to $15 an outfit there, for a total of $70 to $100 dollars. I can get triple the amount of clothes on ebay for the same price. I usually spend no more than $3 an item on ebay, and that includes shipping. Sure the clothes are used. But really, how much damage can a baby cause to clothing? Not too much in my limited experience. So ebay it is for us.

Spring was in the air a few days ago, which got me thinking about spring and summer clothes for Camden. Never mind that only a few months ago I had to buy him a new winter wardrobe because he grows like no tomorrow. Never mind that it snowed just yesterday. Never mind his dresser is overflowing and my account is dwindling. It's time to buy more! You never know. We could have a heat wave tomorrow and then where would he be? Stuck in long sleeves and long pants. And so I search. I watch. And I bid. Okay, actually I snipe with one of those cool snipe programs, but still (And yes, I was the one who sniped you with 7 seconds to go after you sat there for the past hour hitting "refresh" over and over again to make sure you were still the top bidder). I figure, it's like a boy scout - I need to be prepared with all clothing possibilities - at least that is how I am justifying it to Mark. Oh, it's time to go! One of those auctions ends in a few minutes and I must make sure I win.
