Two Months...and too many shots.

Oh it happened...Olivia got her first set of shots, five to be exact, three in one leg and two in the other, and she also had an oral dose, so make that six. Leigh has been preparing herself for this day since the day Olivia was born, but it still didn't help matters, as soon as the nurse walked in Leigh had her head in Brad's shoulder and the tears started coming fast and furious. We wish we could report that Olivia took it like a champ without a peep, but no such luck, she screamed her adorable little head off, took a quick nap in the car on the way home (with just Mommy, since Daddy had to go to work) and then continued to cry for almost an hour before she passed out for the afternoon. And we should mention that Leigh had stopped crying by the time Brad got home from work at 5pm, take note, her appointment was at 9:30am, it was a rough day for Leigh. Poor Olivia.... She got the typical fever that many babies do, she was restless all night and therefore Leigh didn't get a wink of sleep. Needless to say, we are not looking forward to the 4 month shots, however it will be down from five shots to four...phew.

So on to the exciting stuff, her stats:

Weight: 13 lbs 2 oz - 95%
Height: 24 inches - 95%
Head - 16 - 90%

She is a big healthy "little" girl, and according to Dr. Shook she is still "perfect". Leigh of course forgot to mention to Dr. Shook that Olivia has been spitting up more than normal, we are going to self diagnose with a mild case of Acid Reflux, and we do this with a great deal of experience with our group of friends who are going through it...






Other than the 2 Month Dr. Appointment, this has been a fairly quiet week, however tomorrow Leigh and Olivia are excited about their lunch date downtown with Lindsay and Leslie. The weekend should be fairly quiet with an unavoidable trip to Target and maybe a walk around the Short Pump Towncenter with Auntie Megs.


Next week the real fun begins, we are gearing up for our first weekend away from home since the early Spring, don't worry, Olivia is coming with us. We are heading to Massanutten for a weekend, Leigh can't wait to show Olivia good ol' JMU and of course make a trip to Dave's Taverna Express, delicious! Brad has been very busy at work preparing a couple of large bids, we are hoping they go well, Leigh keeps telling Olivia that all of Brad's hard work is going to pay off and she will get a "new pair of shoes". Liv just laughs at her.

We ordered Liv's Halloween Costume this week, its a surprise, so you will have to check back after Halloween to see how adorable she is going to be. We should also mention that YaYa Worden is coming on Halloween day to spend a week, Brad will be out of town for a week so Leigh is looking forward to the extra set of hands/help.
