Wow, my sweet little baby is already two months old. I cannot believe it. I've been so anxious to see what he weighs----10 pounds, 14 and a half ounces!!!!!! I was so happy, because it's nice to have concrete and numerical confirmation that I'm doing a great job feeding him. It is a true commitment to exclusively breastfeed a child, and it's one I love. But that doesn't mean I don't worry and stress that he gets enough. It's hard when you can't see or tell exactly how much they are getting. He's as healthy as can be, and I was happy to get a good report. And the ped says his thrush is gone:-) He was due for six vaccines today, and I don't have time for that soapbox. But long story short, I think that's absurd and I'm putting Drake on an alternative schedule. He'll never get more than 1-2 vaccines at a time. No combo shots. And we are delaying all non essential vaccines with really low risk of contracting the disease. He got the one to protect against bacterial meningitis. The one for H-influenza is on national backorder. He will get rotavirus in two weeks, and the Tdap/polio at 3 months. Hep B and A will be delayed until school age, as well as MMR. Anyway, I really don't want to go on and on about that.
I've got a busy week with lots of errands and nonsense to take care of. I go back to work 2 days a week at the end of next week, and start fulltime (3 days a week) the first week of April. It will be nice to get back to normalcy, but I am really going to miss being here with Drake all day. I am going to miss him SO much. I know I'll cry the first day I go back.
Eric is still working in Cary 2 days a week, and it may increase to 3-4 days a week soon. He is still trying to convince me to move, but I'm still holding out. I love Charlotte! However, with his job there, it will allow me to eventually stay home for the most part, so that is his HUGE bargaining chip. I just want to be room mom.
We head up to Buffalo the last week of March, before I go back fulltime. We are excited to introduce Drake to all of his NY family! We hope his cousin Lacey will be here by then!
Have a good week!

I'm doing an alternative schedule also. I did want to let you know that the MMR is no longer getting made to be individual shots, they are now only making the combo :(
