Oi vey...what a long day.
I knew that it was goingto be a rough one, Spencer woke up about an hour earlier than usual (after being somewhat cranky last night) and it just seemed to be one fun little new mother adventure after the other...
1. poopy diaper that looked like a prop from "appocalypse now".
(maybe I should sell it on e-bay)
2.baby who didn't want to hold still to get out of aforementioned diaper.
3.baby who seemed to have aquired situational deafness when it came to me saying no about anything.
Then there is the doctors visit ,which went fine, Spencer is healthy as a horse, but his growing has finally evened out...he is 22lbs. and 22 inches...could he be more perfect?
I think not!
But it's always a wake up call to how lucky we are to have a healthy baby when we go to Dorenbechers, ( our hospital, one of the best in the nation for children)
there are children there with serious illnesses, and well suffice it to say that it's depressing.
But also somewhat inspiring, the too always seem to have smiles on their faces,and as mentioned before it helps you realize how lucky you are.
and how an appocolyptic diaper
isn't really anything.
not the first, not the last.
So I guess it weighs out about 50/50 but it dosne't stop your heart from hurting.
Spency man also had his blood drawn for lead posining and anemia, a routine check up but still....those little heart strings of mine are weak tonight.
Plus it tires us all out...we walked around when we got home like zombies just released from the ..zombie loony bin? yeah, right jennifer.
see the effects haven't worn off yet.
time for coffee!
: )

Anyway Spencer is healthy happy and thankfully at the moment asleep.
take care all.
