We have been a little slow in posting updates.  I will try to get back into the blogging groove.

Reed’s 2 month appointment with Dr. Purnell went well, except the shots of course. He had to get 5 shots in his fat little thighs.  I was strong while the nurse was in the room and didn’t cry, but as soon as she walked out and I could start dressing him I had big huge tears falling down my face.  I wasn’t expecting that reaction and was rather surprised at myself.  Reed fell asleep almost immediately which made the drive home better than expected.  When he woke up around lunchtime he screamed so much and was in such pain that I cried again.  Once we got some Tylenol in him he was ok and rested well the rest of the day.  Shots are not fun and I can understand why my mom said the number one reason she would not go back to work in Dr. Purnell’s office after she retires from the school district in 2 years is because she hated giving the shots.  Not fun at all.

Stats: Weight – 12 pounds 8 ounces, 75th percentile,  Height – 23 1/2 inches, about 55th percentile.

Reed is in a daddy phase right now.  The moment he sees or hears Randy his eyes light up and his whole face smiles.  Sometimes he even squeals with delight.  He might love his daddy, but he definitely is on my schedule (which is wonderful).  His best time of the day is first thing in the morning.  I love going to get him out of his crib and bringing him into our bed to wake Randy up (yes, Randy sleeps very late!!) He is always so happy and ready to wake up.  The best news is that he has been consistently sleeping from about 10pm to 5am.  This has been happening on a regular basis for the past 2 weeks or so.  I can only pray this will last once I start back at work.
