Dr. Appointment

Avery had her two month dr. appointment today for her two month check up. She weighed 11 lbs 12 oz. and 22 in long. She was in the 50%. She loved the noise the paper on the doctors bed made and was wriggling like crazy, it was so funny. She only cried for a minute when she got her shots then fell asleep. I took her to the store later today and had to stop in the parking lot of Smiths Market place to change her diaper twice and feed her once. She is making it a habit of getting hungry and making me feed her in parking lots. Her are the pictures of her playing and then daddy consoling her. I think it was harder on us then it was her.

about Avery at 2.5 months: She loves to smile, in fact, all you have to do is look at her. She is talking and is on the verg of laughing, I just love her little baby sounds. She is doing better with her tummy time and loves to look at herself in the mirror and stares at her mobile in her bed as well as the lights. She is holding her head up pretty well and can now sit in her bumbo chair. She loves loves loves to listen to singing. Im not very good at it but she still loves it anyway.

BACK TO WORK

Going back to work is bittersweet. It is so exciting to start a new job, expecially since I have the best job ever. I thought I was just going to work on the cardiac, renal and intermediate ICU but they want me to work the Med/Surg ICU and the Cardiac ICU as well as ER. I am super excited! I am going to get great experience. My job is super flexible and I only work 2 nights a week, which isn't that bad. My first day back was actually easier than I thought it would be. I cried when I got home but have been fine since. I think it was hard because Chris was supplimenting with formula and she SLEPT THROUGH THE ENTIRE NIGHT! How dare she do that when I am not around! I felt so inadequate like I was starving my baby, I missed her and I was also extremely exhausted after working a 12.5 hr night shift. At least she was sleeping because she wont miss me when she is asleep Hee Hee. I am glad she was good for Chris though. It is so hard getting back into the swing of things, I wish I could stay home forever. We do need to figure out the baby sitting thing. Lynne is our baby sitter but she went into the hospital last week so we didn't have anyone to watch her. Chris took time off work so I could get some sleep but I really didn't sleep. Who needs sleep anyway right?
