Tuesday
Nothing much to report this day baby - work, daycare/Grampa Keith's, food, sleep!
Wednesday
Today was the day that I was dreading! We went to the doctor and you got your shots. It was much better than I expected! You didn't scream as much and we didn't get in a lot of trouble with the pediatrician! You weighed 15 lbs 14 oz and were 27.25" long. You are still a tall boy but you went down a bit in the percentile for weight. Guess that means you are well proportioned. Dr. Macklem said that we did a great job of flipping your head and it is now growing exactly where it should be. Yeah mommy & daddy! At night, we went over to the Beaty's house for dinner & you were able to meet Debbie's mom and dad.
Thursday
Fussy pants today because of your shots. For the first time, my phone rang with the special ring tone that meant it was Mary calling. My heart stopped for a second and then I figured you might have a fever with your shots. She just wanted to juice you up with Tylenol to help you feel better! We kept you juiced up at night too so you would sleep through it. Darn it - we hate shots!
Friday
Not a ton to report here either - work, out to eat, juiced you and hoped that you would feel better. It is hard for us to watch you be in discomfort and know that you don't want to be because you smile at us in between those sniffles. Even though it didn't look like it in the picture below, you were mostly fussy with a few spots of happy Lijah. I didn't take you to Great Gramma's because you were fussy pants.
Saturday
We went down to Farmer's Market and walked around a bit then it was all about Baby Jake as we did our photo shoot with him. You slept through most of it but then I think you were a bit out of sorts because you are so used to having your photo taken. :) You still had a touch of fussiness in you because of your shots so we had to juice you up a bit. I am hoping this is the end of it. We went out to dinner and I had the most unreal experience. I had you sitting on the table with my hand in front of you. You started sucking and chewing on my thumb. It was a weird sensation to feel you gumming my thumb and sucking. Kind of like the Sting Rays at Sea World. You sure did love your bouncey today - you were in it for about 2 hours!! It cracks me and your daddy up to watch you.
You & your newest cousin - Baby Jake!

Sunday
Today was Mommy's day. It was a good day Mister! You & your daddy had some doughnuts for me when I woke up along with a card, flowers and a movie I wanted. He let me sleep in while you two played together. HEAVEN :) You and him went to see Gramma Brigham then we went over Auntie Sheila's for dinner with the Langs. It was a packed house! The highlight of my day was our mini-photos. I really wanted some photos with my son on Mother's Day. And, we even got your daddy involved and some really good photos. Then, we went to see Gramma Debbie. Since I am going out with her tomorrow, our visit was all about her having some Elijah time :) Thank you buddy for being here and treating me to a great Mother's Day.
I have to be really honest with you about something though. During the time that I was by myself, I had a really rough time. For some reason, this Mother's Day was the hardest day yet. You would think that it would be the best Mother's Day ever since my baby is here but realizing how great you are made me sad to know that so many little ones aren't with us. I am not sure if it was because people were so nice to me and said "Happy First Mother's Day." It was great to celebrate my first Mother's day but not the first year I felt like a mommy!
