Well we have had an exciting past week and thought I would share. First of all Alyssa is 9 1/2 weeks old already! Man, time flies!!! She had her 2 month well baby check on Friday the 4th. I caught some kind of nasty stomach bug or something Thursday night and was sick all day on Friday, and not knowing what it was, I didn't think I should be around JV and Alyssa or in a ped. office, so I didn't go. That was tough b/c I knew she was getting shots and she was going to be in pain and I couldn't be there. Well JV said it was terrible, she screamed so much. She got 3 shots in her leg (2 in one and 1 in the other) and one orally. Everything else at the dr. went good. She weighs 11lb 6.5oz. and is 21.5" long. She was in the 55 percentile for her weight, but the 90th for the weight for her height. So basically she is kind of a chunky butt!!! Well they told JV that she could run a fever with the shots so to pay attention to her. When they got home around 4:00pm she was fine, she went to sleep for a while, then around 7:00 she started screaming and didn't stop. I called the Kaiser after hours nurse at 8:30 and she didn't call back until 10:15! Well around 9:30 she just stopped screaming and went back to her old self, so I guess she started feeling better. When the nurse did finally call back, she was a little concerned b/c the marks on her leg had bruised and she didn't think that they should of done that, so they wanted me to take her in on sat. have it looked at just in case. Well I did, and when I got to the office, it was full of sick, sick people, so we left. The bruises are gone, so i'm not to worried. I bruise really easily so its possible she just got that from me!!
Then later that day, Alyssa got to watch her 1st GA game. She slept through kick off, but woke up in the 2nd quarter. She had a good time watching the game with Aunt Cheryl, Paige, Alex and Dad. Even though they didn't win, it was a fun time!
Then we rolled right into Tuesday, her 1st day at daycare and my 1st day back at work. What a mess that was!!! She woke up at 4:00am for her bottle, so I fed her and then for the 2nd time ever, she decided she didn't want to go back to sleep (she was excited about daycare I guess). So neither did I. JV tried rocking her and everything, she was happy but didn't want to sleep. So We got ready to go and I took her there at 7:20. I stayed till about 7:40 just talking to the teachers and looking around. I really like all 3 of the ladies in there. She slept most of the morning and ate really good. JV was planning on picking her up and I was going to leave work at 5:00 but then at 4:00 dad said "go and get my grand baby!" that was the best feeling ever. I was so excited that I got to pick her up!!! I walked in and she smiled at me! They said she was just the cutest and sweetest baby! they really enjoyed her!!! That made me feel a lot better! They do have a camera in the room so I was able to stalk her most of the day. Its not a great one but better then nothing to me!!!
Today, JV took her and met John around mall of GA, then he was going to go and see some customers while she was at Grammy's. And tomorrow they are going to watch her at our house. I felt much better about leaving her this morning. Its just hard going from seeing her all day everyday to only a few hours. I wasn't ready for her to go to bed yesterday, I wanted more Alyssa time!
I'm sure it will get easier as time goes by, but Its an adjustment!!! The good news is Dad did a really good job with everything while I was gone, so I don't have as much to do as I thought. I have a lot of catching up to do, but he did a great job, i'm very proud of him!!!
Well Alyssa still loves her changing table, thats her happy spot. She has started laughing and smiling a lot lately, its so cute!!! She is sitting up, with help, but she is very very strong. She rolls over from her back to her side and then back, but not all the way over yet!! She really doesn't like tummy time, so she is still a side sleeper.
Well I think thats about all for now, but I will let you know how everything else goes! She doesn't go back to the dr. till Nov. for her 4 month well check (hopefully she doesn't need to go till then). But I'll post pictures as I get them!!!
We Love you all,
JV, Amy and Alyssa
