I thought when I became a stay at home mom life would slow down. Someone thinks that’s funny
We’ve had a busy week. I didn’t even weigh myself, not that I’ve done all that great at tracking.
Quinn had the 2nd part of her Hep B vaccine last week. She had a reaction to it that landed us in the ER.
Seeing her get an iv (after 2 failed attempts) broke my heart into pieces. She’s fine now, though I’m kicking myself for allowing the vaccine. I know some people skip Hep B altogether. My reasons for allowing it were solid. The potential for overseas travel is high for us, with Matt’s parents being in England. I want to protect her, but at what cost? Quinn was treated at Children’s Hospital of Atlanta. I can’t say enough good things about the staff there. They made a very scary situation better every step of the way.
We also got our world rocked with the passing of Matt’s grandfather. Grampy was very proud of Quinn. She was his first great grandchild and I only wish he would have been able to meet her. He was very proud of her, and very proud of Matt. Please keep him in your thoughts. It’s hard for him to be an ocean away from his family when they are going through something so tough.
Quinn took her first road trip yesterday. We went to Chattanooga to visit my brother and his family. My brother and sister in law met Quinn at the hospital when she was born, but the kids weren’t allowed to visit her at that time because of hospital policy. So yesterday was a very exciting day for the kids
My brother got a promotion and will be relocating to Buffalo, NY in a month. I will miss having them so close to us. I get emotional when I think about how seldom we will see each other since we’ve always been so close.
Quinn is a chunk.
I’m so delighted with my chubby baby. She doesn’t miss a meal!
I’m hoping to write about several things. Posts I have in mind in no particular order are:
- Quinn’s birth story
- Review of Northside Labor and Delivery, since oddly enough there isn’t one anywhere I’ve found in blog form
- Matt’s immigration process and how our interview went, including things the average American may not know about the process. May change your view on immigration. Sure changed mine!
I promise to have atleast one of those posted by the end of the week. I’m finally getting our apartment in order after a crazy month of baby love.
I get lots of Matt love, too. Like when he forgets to restock the toilet paper and then leaves me things like this
I love him.
