Shots! Oh No!

Yesterday was Kaname's 2 mos pediatrician appointment. She is now 11lbs 10oz., 23.5 inches long. She's getting so adorably chubby! Unfortunately she had to get her first set of vaccinations at this appointment. She screamed and tears welled up in mommy's eyes but she really did a great job. Once the nurses were done she stopped crying, starting making happy noises and she really didn't fuss again.

I promised some new pics and here are a few including her easter outfit and pics of her beautiful nursery set...



And this one's for my co-worker Susan!



Daycare is going along well and Steve and I are starting to get used to life as parents. Her welcoming party is next Saturday, April 19, from 11a-4p. It is an open house. If you haven't RSVP'd yet it isn't too late!

April is a busy month for birthdays and anniversaries!

Happy Birthday going out to...Aunt Cathy, Bonnie, Val, Aunt Mildred, Megan, Tuttle, Dad Walls, & Aunt Jean!

Happy Anniversary...Mom & Dad Walls and Jaclyn & James!

And a special anniversary wish out to my hubby...although we no longer celebrate it April 8 was our 11 year dating anniversary. I love you!

This One's for Tuttle

Ok, ok...thanks to Adam Tuttle I'm keeping my weekly update promise. And it's been a big week!

Yesterday was the end of my babymoon...back to wiping adult butts! It was nice to be back among adults but I REALLY missed Kaname. I cried several times over the weekend at the thought of having to leave her at daycare. I knew she'd be well taken care of but...well, it was just tough to leave her. She didn't really seem to care but she is only 8 weeks old. The caregivers said she is a wonderful baby, relatively quiet except when she's hungry or gassy. She ate like a champ too! My biggest worry. I think over the next few weeks we'll settle into a nice routine and life might start to seem more normal again.

Work was like I'd never left. I walked into an assignment with an empty bed and consequently a 7:30am admission on my first day back. Thanks Monica! Well at least it got me back in to the swing of things. As many of you already know I've switched from 12 hour shifts to working 8 hour shifts. I think it will be strange being at work every day of the week but I do enjoy leaving work @ 3:30pm...it's almost like a half day to me and I have so much more energy left than when I worked a 12. I get to go home a play with my daughter, eat dinner with my husband, and still have time to clean the litter box, a toilet or two, and fold a load of laundry.

The apartment is becoming more like home. Most of the boxes are out of the way, almost everything has found its place, and we've hung many of our pictures and paintings-that's what has really made it feel special. I've finally set up her beautiful nursery set...I just wish there was something more for the walls. Hopefully a drink filled apartment warming party will be sometime in the future!

I will post pictures later in the week. I'm having some software difficulties with my PC. That's all for now...
