"Look at her, she's perfect," that's what her Daddy just said as he walked past her this morning. My feelings are exactly the same. She is in this great stage where she smiles and interacts with us and still loves her Mommy the MOST!(Which I absolutely 100% love, love, love). As the fabulous book says she is, "entering what might be considered the golden age of babyhood-a period of several enchanted months when good humor reigns during the day, more sleep is happening at night, and independent mobility has yet to be achieved (which means you baby will continue to stay pretty much where you put her, limiting mischief and mayhem; enjoy this while it lasts)." So far we have been enjoying it very much.
We did not however enjoy our two month check up at the doctor. I begged Ben to come with us to serve as morale support for me; afraid my fear of needles and anything that hurts my baby girl would overcome me. Thankfully, she was quite the trooper and was calm by the time we left the office and I somehow managed to make it through without tears. Since the visit though, she had a slight fever and has been pukey and uncomfortable. It hasn't been totally delightful but I'm thankful for the small reaction. One of the shots Abney received is the same one given to me at the hospital that caused painful swelling. How on earth you would comfort a two month old with that I have no idea. I could barely tolerate it myself!
I had hoped to be in New Orleans right now visiting her Fairy Godmother but with the doctor and reactions we have just not been able to get ourselves together. :( Luckily we will be there in a few short weeks to celebrate Valentine's Day and Mardi Gras once again. Ben and I are planning to make it a nice long weekend so we can really take in the city and parades again. It has been WAY too long since our last visit.
Speaking of way too long, it has been way too long between my posts! I'm trying to keep up and hopefully set aside the same time each day to capture what is happening. We have just been running around too much and usually when I get a free minute I either want to sleep or take a shower. LOL I'm hoping that having more time for showers and maybe my computer will be benefits to going back to work. I only have six days left before I have to get back in the saddle and I'm trying to stay positive and optimistic by focusing on the parts I'm looking forward to...but let's be honest...I am going to hate not being able to hold, smile, and cuddle with my baby girl whenever I want. We have been fairly inseparable for the past few months and I have forgotten how to be without her. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
