Hopefully I'm not the only one cursing Mother Nature for all this snow!! So Isaac and I are home today and we will be very happy when Spring arrives! I decided to update everyone while he takes a nap on me. Please excuse any typos, typing one-handed is a skill I'm working on. Actually, I'm learning to do pretty much everything one handed these days!

So I've returned to work. Monday was my 1st evening back and overall I think my week went ok. It feels good to be socializing with adults and I love my patients so that definitely helped my transition. Grammy Lana watches Isaac from 2:45 in the afternoon till about 6:30pm Monday Wednesday and Friday and boy does he wear her out! Then Kevin picks Izzy up and they stop by my work so I can nurse in the parking lot or the telephone closet...I love seeing my guys in the middle of my shift and nursing directly is soooo much better than pumping...but I worry about the grossies I'm carrying with me from all the old folks. Then Kevin and Isaac head home and Isaac gets fussy and fights sleep.  Daddy has had a little trouble getting Isaac settled in for the night because lets face it...there's no one like mommy!

Isaac is getting vaccinated tomorrow and that's been a huge concern of mine for years before I ever had thought about having children. I do believe there is a link between vaccines and Autism but I guess the reasons to vaccinate outweigh the reasons not to. I know it will break my heart to see him in that situation tomorrow so I'll probably be crying right beside him.

I can't wait to see how much more he's grown! At 9 weeks he is now filling out his 3 month clothes and is wearing 3-6 months stuff. I bought him an outfit to wear for 3 month pictures at the end of March and am getting nervous he'll have outgrown it before he gets a chance to wear it!. His eczema seems to be responding to less frequent baths and Baby Aveeno and his cradle cap is soooo much better thank goodness because I was constantly picking at him! He also seems to have shaken the cold he caught with our tender loving care.

The baby is still leary of his binkys but has taking to the bottle no problem...must be the Irish in him, lol!!

We've joined a few local mommy and me groups and I recently discovered another with scheduled Mommy's Nights!! I think we are going to investigate this group VERY soon! I'm also trying to get involved with the Le Leche League. Networking with a baby is actually pretty fun and I'm enjoying meeting other moms in the area. 

A few new pictures posted and happy March!!
