Week 11... Almost 12

All was good after Ollie's appointment... until the Tylenol wore off. He woke up from his nap screaming hysterically. I thought something was really wrong because he NEVER does that. After another dose of Tylenol and 40 minutes of straight screaming, we took him back to the doc. They checked his vitals and said he was fine and we just needed to work through the fussiness. I've never heard Ollie cry that way. Broke my heart.  I didn't realize shots would do that to him :( Apparently the shots go into the muscle and make him super sore. Poor lil guy. As of today, he's pretty much back to his happy baby self. Thank goodness!
Visiting Grandma Dodie
Shopping in Prescott
Jonny went out of town for a race last weekend so Ollie and I headed up to visit mom. I never realized how much packing I would have to do for a two day trip! Since Ollie was extra fussy from his shots, I took lots off extra stuff too. We didn't use half of it, but it was nice to have everything with me just in case. Mom actually had everything there for me. All I needed to bring was milk and the baby. Mom took Ollie for half the night on Saturday and it was nice to get some rest. We got in some shopping for marketing supplies/ referral gifts. I love spending other people's money :)

Work is becoming more of a routine for me again. I've been making individual goodie bags for the past week. Next time I'm getting smart and just doing an office gift basket. I really need to add in a workout to part of my day. A friend and I went to advanced spin last weekend. It pretty much kicked both of our butts. We're gunna mix in some hot yoga eventually, I'm excited! That should be fun! Hopefully I can just sweat out 10 pounds!
My Valentine
Valentine's day was much more relaxed this year. Last year on Valentine's day, we went to PF Changs and had our first talk about getting prego. This year I celebrated with my two boys. Jonny and I decided not to celebrate, since we both have everything we want. Ollie got me a TomTom for work so I can always find my way back to him for mil and diaper changes. That's what Jonny wrote in his card anyways :) He also got me my new favorite perfume, Viva La Juicy!
Love Him :)
Last Friday (17th) was the first date night Jonny and I have had for 5 months. Before baby, I was feeling too huge to go out. Since Ollie's been here I never feel like leaving him if I don't have too. It was REALLY nice to get away though. Now I know why Jonny and I need "our" time. It's just nice to reconnect as a couple ( not mommy and daddy). Thank goodness for Momma- aka grodie, who came to watch Ollie while we went out.

9-10 weeks old!

Ollie and I -2/4/12


Time has been flying by. Ollie turned 2 months old last week. He's also graduated to a size 2 diaper. My little man is getting bigger by the day. He's found his hands and spends his day shoving them in his mouth. We showed him his reflection in the mirror and he loves looking at himself, it's so cute! His other favorite thing is laying on his changing table. He loves moving around and doing his little "dance". He's always bright eyed and bushy tailed while on it :)


Going to pick up Uncle Marc from the airport 2/3
Work started again on Monday and it's actually going fairly well. People think I must be so ready to jump back into things, but I would LOVE to be a stay at home mommy. Getting ready to go back to work has been fun. Got all primped and pampered last week so I feel somewhat like myself again. I had my minor breakdown the first morning about leaving Ollie for a full day, but after that I was fine :)  We are sooo lucky to have family watch Ollie during the week! It's so comforting to know he's with someone who loves him rather than a stranger.



Ollie in his classic car walker! He's a bit small still :)
Ollie had his 2 month check up today. He weighs 14.4 lbs and is 24" tall. He is in the 85-88 percentiles for his age (he's pretty husky). The doctor said it's a sign of good nutrition and that at around 6 months genetics will kick in to determine his weight and body type. We were originally thinking his percentile height today ment he might turn out tall, but we'll have to see the numbers later this year. We saw a new doctor, Dr. Jackson, today and I love him. Same office, different doc. He's soo good with Ollie and he explains everything he's doing and what he's looking for during his exam. I feel so much more comfortable with him than the doctor we've been seeing.
