2 months and still truckin'

Well folks... it appears that I have survived 2 months of motherhood.... and the baby's head hasn't spun off yet! Good news for most. I'm not so sure that I am getting used to the lack of sleep... I'm just not wired that way... but I survive... thanks to a helpful husband that takes over in the a.m. so I can catch some z's. I don't like waking up with most of the morning gone... but ya have to pick your battles, yes?

Today was G's 2 month well-baby appointment... yes, the one where he gets his first series of vaccinations. OMG. I think I cried more than he did... poor guy. POOR ME. It is HEARTWRENCHING to see your kid have to be in pain. It's bad enough when it is an accident... but the kind that we (and when I say we I mean the big bad nurse) inflict on them? OMG. Ouch. Rightfully so, he was cranky the rest of the day... my punishment I guess for hurting him like that. How dare I protect him from life threatening illnesses? Anyway... he is down for the night (and when I say night, I mean until 2 a.m.) and I should be sleeping. I will lay down as soon as I update here. I promise.

Anyway... little dude is weighing in at 11 lbs 13 oz and is 23 inches long (both 50% range). His nugget measured in at some outrageous number I don't even want to list. He gets a big head from me... oh and his dad (75% range... yowza!).

I'm sorry that this blog has had so many "baby" posts lately... but frankly that is what my life has been all about lately. I'm starting to emerge from the gof (was supposed to say fog- clearly I'm not there yet). And will hopefully have more crafty or random things to post.

But, what would a post be without a pic? A lame attempt at a self-portrait.

Congratulations on surviving the first two months- that's a big accomplishment. It will get easier, but I have to confess, sometimes I still feel like I'm in the 'gof' too!
G-man is adorable as always and I liked your self portrait. Keep the posts coming- even if they are all about Greyson- that's all we really want to hear about anyway! ;-)
