Two Month Update

So the two month check up was AWFUL! Gideon got his shots. Three of them, and it was horrible. I felt personally responsible for the pain he went through. What do you do when your baby just stares at you screaming and crying and you can't pick him up? I almost cried.

Doctor says the "teeth" I am seeing are most likely bone nodules, and will just go away after a while. Which I say great, because no way am I ready for a teething babe.

By the way I am devastated we are leaving our doctor. She is the best doctor, and now we won't get to have her anymore... insert sad face here...

Anyway, he is now 11.6 pounds, and 23 1/2 inches. BIG BOY!

Two Months Down

Can he really be two months old already? It doesn't seem like it could be that long already. I am falling more in love with him everyday. He is the most wonderful person I have ever met, and yet he doesn't speak, walk, or eat on his own. He even often gives me a headache, yet He is still the most interesting person I know.

How does that happen?

Anyway, for those who are interested Gideon is now 11 pounds even, and 23 1/2 inches tall. He loves lying on his back and kicking and hitting, which we call "playtime". He HATES tummy time. He loves his swing. He loves to bounce.

Also, we think he may be teething already. On his bottom gums it looks like there are two very visible teeth just under the gums. I have been looking it up on the internet, and it sounds like early teething is more common than I thought. I was going to ask the DR, but I forgot my list. Classic grade A mom move.

Anyway, tummy time is over.

What is Wrong With Us?

In the scheme of things, I should have seen this coming. But I didn't. We're moving back to the LA area. After my parents being in town, and D's family being in town, we decided we really want G to grow up around family.

D and I both have very tight knit families, and remember what it was like growing up with all our cousins, and aunts and uncles. So we decided to move back. Also, had we known I was knocked up before the move, we may not have even come.

It's all very bittersweet. On one hand we are disappointed that life didn't pan out the way we planned here. And we have so many dear friends here. It's heartbreaking thinking of leaving them.

But in the long run, we must think about our son and what we want for his future.

SO, if anyone knows someone in the LA area who needs a teacher, or a good sound man, let me know!

Here we go again! Thumbs up!
