Big Day.

I'm already on my 2nd cup of coffee this morning and its not even 7:00 am. My how life has changed the past 8 weeks. Drew didn't sleep very good last night. He went to the doctor for his surgery follow-up/2 month check-up yesterday and got his shots. They have been making him not feel so great - he's a little fussy, really tired, and not as hungry. Right now, he's sleeping in his swing as I type. Other than the shots, his doctor appointment went great. His incision looks great and he has recovered completely from his surgery. Also, here are the stats from his appointment (all at 8-weeks).

-Weighed 13 pounds 12 ounces (100% percentile)
-Was 23 and a half inches long (95% percentile)
-His head circumference was 16 inches (80% percentile)

Pretty much, he is just a BIG ole' healthy boy. The doctor said he weighs what a normal 4-month old does! He is on track developmentally and doing all of the things that any normal 2-month old does - plus he can really hold up his head (the doctor said that he is also holding up his head like a 4-month old). We're so proud of our little Drew and that he is doing so well after all he has endured the first 8 weeks of his life!

Yesterday was also a BIG day because it was Drew's first day at Angel's house. Angel is going to be Drew's babysitter when I go back to work NEXT WEEK. We love Angel and are so lucky that we found her (thanks Laura!). Yeah - I can't believe that it is already time to go back to work. It feels like the past 9 weeks have gone by so fast, but then it feels like Drew has been here forever. We are having a 'trial' week this week - making me get up and get myself and Drew ready and over to Angels by 7:30 am. Definitely a challenge since I've been living in my PJ's for the past 9 weeks! He is going to Angel's house in the mornings this week for half days. That is letting me have some time to run some errands and get some appointments out of the way before I start back to work next week. And letting me get used to not being with him all day. I had a break down when I dropped him off yesterday morning. I have completely mixed feelings about going back to work. I am excited that my brain is working again and I am motivated (definitely wasn't feeling like this when I was pregnant). But, I am going to miss my little Drew SO much! With all he went through his first 6-7 weeks not feeling so well, I don't feel like he has really got to enjoy us or that we have got to enjoy him the way that we should have. And now, he is feeling SO much better and is so much fun! I'm glad he will be feeling well for Angel (and that will give me so much peace of mind), but I am sad that I am not going to be able to be there with him all day every day. Anyways, this is going to be another adjustment period for us - with me back to work, Sam at school, and Drew at Angel's house. Pray for us!

Here are a couple pictures from yesterday. I still have some blogging catch-up to do and am going to get that done this week! So many pictures to post - so little time! We are going to MH this wkend for sweet Hayden's 2nd birthday! I can't wait! Hope everyone has a great day!

Drew & Angel - 1st day without Mommy.
Drew's favorite past time right now - staring at himself in the mirror on his swing. He knows he's cute!
