vaccines

dear son.

let me start off my apologising for the EVIL that had to be done yesterday. ugh, im so sorry i put you through that torture. :(

it wasnt a horrible day to start off. you were your happy lil self. cooing and talking away to strangers who just couldnt take their eyes off you.

we were sitting in the waiting room and your cuteness started up a friendly convo with a nice couple. i accused you of giving couples baby fever, but they swore to us they are done. :) anyways, when the receptionist called your name, my heart sank. it was time. time for the dreaded needles ( *shudders*) if only i could be vaccinated on your behalf. i would take 1000 needles just so you wouldnt need 1. but life doesnt go like that unfortunately.

we took all your clothes off, except diaper, cause well, you pee a lot, and on a lot of things, haha. the last place you should pee is on the dr. although you probably wanted to crap on him after what he did.

we got you weighed and measured. and things are looking great. youre now 12lbs 7oz and 24" tall. youre TWO WHOLE SUBS long. WOW!!

once that was over, we talked with the dr. about how well youre doing. you have excellent head control! but we knew that already ;)

than it was time. :( i held you tight in my arms and sang twinkle twinkle little star and my nana, your great nana talked with you over my shoulder. i nearly passed out watching the HUGE needle go in your tiny itty bitty thigh. i started shaking, and my voice started cracking hearing your screams of terror. but you got over it faster than i did. you did great. but everytime i thought about the pain you went through, i broke down. i cried pretty much all night, and into the early morn.

you though, you were awesome. until about 6:30pm you woke from cat napping and just screamed in pain at the top of your longs for an entire hour. nothing soothed you, nothing calmed you. but eventually you fell asleep in my arms, and were out until around 9:30pm when i decided it was time to wake up, have a drink and go back to bed. you did all the above, and even slept 9 hours. you woke up happy as can be, and have been in a good mood all day today.

phew. im so glad its all over with. you have no fever, or rash, or bumps or redness anywhere, so hopefully you'll continue to feel good.

i love you lil bean ... and together we will go through lifes challenges. you'll never have to do anything like this alone. mommy will always be with you by your side. whether youre sick or in pain, i will be there!

lots of love.
xx

pee pee

dear colin

when you wake up at the wee hours of 2:30 in the morn, mummy has a hard time fully awakening. the proof is on our couch!

i know you're hungry, but mummys tired dear son, but of course i wont let you starve ;)

before i feed you, i normally will change your diaper, because who wants to sit in their own pee right. well since it was 2:30am, mummy hadnt fully awakened yet, so your diaper may have gone on backwards, or upside down or even on your head, im still not too sure what happened. but i know our couch is "mad". somehow, after recieving the fresh clean oh so nice diaper, you managed to pee all the way up your back causing wetness on our poor comfy couch. once again, you thought this act was funny, and you laughed at mummy as she laughed at you.

i said i was sorry, but than i explained that if you just slept a lil while longer, giving mummy some extra Zzzz's, this incident probably could have been avoided. but than again, i am a 1st time mummy, so im sure this wont be the only time, hehe :)

i still love you son, and always will, but i cant say the same for our "couch" hes definately had better days. but, i think hes happy this time it wasnt poop!!

love you buttons!

colins two month letter

dear colin,

you're two months old. WOW! mummy cant believe it. it seems like yesterday i just met you and stared into your deep blue eyes. and now, look at you.

you've gone from a tiny itty bitty baby of only 6lbs to a whopping 11lbs (mummys just guessing).

watching you take new things in every day is so special to mama. seeing you smile and "talk" so frequently now is amazing. i will never forget these moments. & the stories you tell, haha. so cute! you especially love telling them to your most fav granty.

mummy learned this month that you LOVE to dance. i put on your special cd we bought 1 day before you were born, and you boogie on down. kicking your legs and waving or "fist pumping" your lil arms. adorable!

you just want to get up and go, but you dont know you're just too little still. you're really into trying to crawl, and it frustrates you a bit, because you just cant do it yet. you push and push your legs, but you dont get very far. soon son, im sure you'll have that down packed too (which makes mama nervous).

i cant wait until you show more interest in your toys. we have so many for you to love and play with, but you'd much rather interact with real people. toys are boring for now i guess.

so in these past few weeks, you've done quite a bit. you've met lots more new friends and family. and you've even gone to another wedding. youre only 2 months old and you've already been the youngest guest at two weddings. WOW!

recently you got to meet a lot of your cousins. such special times for you lil one, you have no idea.

you have so much fun meeting new people, especially ladies ;) youre so little still, yet youre such a ladies man. i blame youre daddy.

you're still a great sleeper, and that makes mummy and daddy very happy. you go to bed around 10pm or 11pm and sleep until 5am or 6am. than mummy gets up and feeds you, and you pass out for another 2 hours most mornings.

you pretty much still only cry when you're hungry, and thats only if mummys too slow to get to you. so thank you for being so patient son. :)

from all the "horror" stories daddy and mummy hear about babies, you've yet to treat us to any. we have no complaints about you lil buddy. you are seriously the EASIEST baby alive, EVER in existance ... and i cant express that enough. the proof is even when youre SCREAMING crying because youre just that hungry, mummy can make you laugh even than.

you have though started this new thing that mommy cant help but laugh at. you get angry with me now, which is very new and mind boggling to me. you will pout your lip at me, roll your eyes and give me the silent treatment. FOR REAL. where the heck did you even learn to do something like that. youre far too smart i think for being only 2 months old. and after you roll your eyes, you shut them with your mouth still pouted and you will just sit there in extreme silence, and mummy just laughs and laughs because its the cutest and strangest thing ive ever seen.

so much personality!!

well son, mama loves you so very much. i wish there was more of you to go around. cause i definately dont like sharing you, hehe. :P

xo

*MUAH*
