One year...

 …ago, Garrett and I received the most amazing phone call from our nurse at Overlake Reproductive Clinic – we were pregnant!!!!  What an amazing year we’ve had J

We have truly been blessed and I cannot wait to see what this next year has in store for our family.

Happy Father’s Day

4 months old

It's so much fun to be 4 months old...

Graycen’s 4 month check up went great – here are her 4 month stats:

·         Weight – 12 lbs 5 oz (25^th percentile)

·         Height – 23 ¾  inches (25^th percentile)

·         Head circumference – 15 inches (11^th percentile)

She is holding strong in the 25^th percentile for weight, where she has been for the last 2 months.  Looks like we have a long and lean baby for awhile J 

Her 4 month check up came with another round of vaccinations.  Thankfully, she only had 2 shots this time and the nurse went very quickly.  Graycen was quite brave and only whimpered for a few seconds. 

Graycen is now:

·         sleeping 8+ hours a night

·         holding her head with great control – no wobbling J

·         drooling and making bubbles

·         laughing, cooing, “talking” back

·         attempting to suck her thumb and fist

·         looking for mom and dad when we enter the room

·         spending lots of time on her tummy trying to figure out how to roll over

It wasn't so dreadful after all....

We did it!!!!  We all survived my first week back at work.  Reflecting back, the return to work was much more difficult for me than for Graycen.  She was excited to spend her days with her daddy and her grandma.

It was an emotional car ride to work, but once I stepped into the classroom I was glad to be back….well, sort of.  I had forgotten what 8th graders are like in June and I was quickly reminded that students have “checked out” and are ready for summer vacation. 

Graycen has had a wonderful time hanging out with her daddy – they have been going on lots of walks, watching movies and TV together - Graycen’s new favorite show, “Ultimate Cage Fighting”  - she can’t take her eyes off of it J  I may need to set up a parental password for both Graycen and Garrett.

Time with grandma has also been great for Graycen.  Grandma SPOILS her with long naps in Grandma’s lap, walks and playtime.  She LOVES it!

Only 11 more days before summer break J
