This is the first day of my life.

Same ol’ same ol’.

May 26th, 2010

First: I’d love to congratulate my bloggie pal Lindsey from Lindsey Ivory. She is now a mama!! I cannot wait to hear all about baby girl! <3

Second- Tru & Sawyer had their 2 month check up yesterday. Even though they are closer to three months. I’m not sure why it was so late. But, anyhow, I always get so excited because I love (for whatever reason) hearing about their stats and I dunno. I like taking the kids to the doctor because all my fears are usually confirmed as normal baby behavior. Like the time I asked the doctor if it was true about the small feet/small penis ratio. He confirmed that to be untrue. I felt better about the fact that Hudson’s feet are mini status.

Truman:
9#4.2oz 1%
22.75” 16%
15.39” domepiece 13%

Sawyer:
9#9.8oz 7%
23” 46%
15.39” domepiece 35%

So, Sawyer is slightly bigger still which is giving me a complex. lol. like, she’s taller & weighs more. Poor Tru. He’s gonna be smaller than his sister!

They also got 3 shots & the rotavirus drink. Hudson never got the rotavirus vaccine because he had a problem with his insurance at first & basically missed the window to vaccinate. & since he was a bit older- but not much bigger-I think I handled it better. I have heard it’s harder with the first. Not true in my case. Anyhow, Scott’s aunt went with me. She is a nurse & usually has to give the shots, so she was more than happy to hold them while someone ELSE gave the shots. Which was great because I went out in the hall. Yeah, I was taking it pretty hard. But my little beautiful babies? They took it super well. No crying. No tylenol needed. Slept a bit more which was helpful for me. lol.

I love confirmation from a professional that my kids are happy & healthy. LOVE IT.

Then last night, Scott was nice enough to let me go out with my friends for a few hours. All the gang goes out every Tuesday night. I obviously never get to go. I really never WANT to go because I love being there for when Hudson goes to bed and spending time with Scott & Tru & Sawyer. But sometimes, I want to go. And I am so happy to have the type of Husband that will send me out on a Tuesday night with my friends. It made me so happy to go- but more happy to come home.

    I’m weird, too. I like taking J to the doctor because it makes me feel like I’m not a total Eff-up as a mother. Until I burst into tears in the exam room because it is HOT AS HELL in there and I’m trapped with a climbing toddler and a germy floor.

    Glad you got to go out and enjoy yourself, too!

    I have B’s 4 month check up next week. More shots, but she handled them well last time. Cried for a second but as soon as I was holding her she was fine.

    Glad they are healthy, and you got some “you” time!

    I always really love getting Poppy’s stats from the doc, and hearing a professional say how well she’s doing! (: Sounds like the twins are amazing – great work mama! Very nice that Scot will do daddy time so you can see your friends. Sometimes D will take Poppy for a walk or to the store, and I really cherish that alone time…

    I just adore reading about your lovely family! Xoxo!

    Good Job, Em. I always love the validation from the Ped. One of these days, I will be confident enough in my ability to parent that I will already know what she will say. ;)

    Cannot wait until we can all get together again. I SO miss you guys.
