Baby It's Cold Outside!

With winter making an appearance this week, we've stayed bundled up at home with the exception of a shopping trip with Daddy, a quick stop at Babies R Us, and a visit to Grammy's. Holden is a true champ on our outtings. He loves his carseat and spends most of the time sleeping or quietly taking in the sights. This week he graduated from the hammock to actually sitting in his bathtub...another activity he loves. We've been doing a bath every night around 9pm followed by feeding then bed. He's been sleeping for 4 hour stretches, sometimes longer - much to my delight. I finally don't feel like I've been hit by a truck. He's also been passing out smiles, something we hope he does lots of for the family visits this week.

With all these great milestones comes another...his 2 month check up and the dreaded shots on Monday. I'm not kidding when I say I'm losing what little sleep I get over this. Despite the fact that I had what my Dr. described as a "really rough birth experience" and lived to tell about it, the thought of even being in the same room with needles still freaks me out. Combine that with the fact that those needles are going into my sweet little baby makes me want to pass out. Do you think they would call Social Services on me if I popped a few percocets left over from the c-section beforehand??
