Halfway there!

We're halfway to the weekend and I am definitely going to need a rest once we get there. This week has been busy, and today was only the first time I had to actually leave the house.

Grandma Dianne came this morning and took Addy because Lexi had her 2-month shots scheduled for 10:30am. She actually did quite well. She cried alot during the visit but that was just her normal fussiness. She got measured and weighed. At birth she was 20 inches long and 7 pounds 15 ounces. Today she is 22.5 inches long and 11 pounds 12 ounces. She is in the 25th percentile for length and the 75th percentile for weight. So she is growing nicely, and on a steady curve the nurse said.

She slept through the first needle although she did cry out in her sleep. But once that 2nd needle went in she was wide awake and screaming. And the volume only increased by the 3rd one. But as soon as she was done getting poked, I gave her the boob and she was fine. If memory serves me correctly she did alot better than her sister did at her 2-month shots.

Now she is fast asleep in her bouncy seat and you would never know she had such a rough morning.

I also got my flu shot. I apparently should have gotten it when I was pregnant, but I didn't. Addy has to go in later in the week to get hers too because she was supposed to get it last month at her 12-month shots but she didn't.

Today is absolutely beautiful out so I think I may take the girls out for a walk. We tried yesterday but Lexi cried the whole way so we cut it short. Hopefully she enjoys herself more this afternoon.

But Addy and Dianne are still not back, so I think it is time for me to tackle some laundry. There's a big pile to be washed, 3 baskets to be folded and 3 baskets that are folded but still need to be put away.

Have I mentioned that I hate laundry?
