Lions and Tigers and Shots...Oh My!

Hannah and her favorite paci. Don't let her fool you with her devilish good looks, she is stinker!

On the way to the doctors!

Hannah has been taking us through the ringer. Since the last post she has been to the doctor five times. No joke. The first time was because she cried for almost two days straight and we couldn't figure out why. Turned out, she was hungry. Long story short, we have started supplementing her with formula. She still get's momma's best at every feeding but then tops it off with good old manufactured milk.

Second appointment was to make sure she was gaining weight since she had stopped gaining during her hungry period.

Third appointment was because she came down with this super strange rash that ended with two of her poor little fingers being swollen and the rest of her body covered in a rash. Of course by the time we went to the doctor it was completely gone and they probably thought I was looney.

Fourth appointment was just this week. Little Hannah had her first cold. We are still weathering that storm but at least it's mostly over and I can sleep a little!

And the last appointment was yesterday for her two month appointment. We got half of her shots since we have decided on an alternative vaccine schedule and I made Will hold her while she got them because I was so anxious that I was sick to my stomach! Hannah handled it like a trooper and only cried briefly before she proceeded to fall asleep...and stay asleep for the next two hours.

Last night I also had my first mommy's night out. I went to a class at Barre3 with my bump club friends and got my booty kicked for the first time since giving birth. Afterward we had wine and snacks and they gave out awesome prizes (none of which I won - boo). It was pretty awesome thought and to quote my dad, "Will is a really great guy". Why you may ask? Well, the man stayed at home and took care of Hannah from 7pm until I got home at 10:30pm. It's true. He always encourages me to take some time for myself and supports his words with his actions. I couldn't ask for a better partner in crime.

I like to dress her in crazy clothes since I can't get away with it. 

The other things that have happened in the past few weeks are: Hannah has discovered her feet, her voice, her hands and her smile even more than before. It's awesome. Now on to pictures!

Go Green! This was Will's day to dress her.

This is Will's custom made Mei Tai. He's pretty excited about sporting it at  Comic Con this year.

We have also started to wear Hannah around a lot. No, it is not spoiling her so don't even let your mind wander there. 

I like the moby for around the house, makes cleaning easier.

Hannah likes to fall asleep in the moby.

We have discovered cloth diapers and Hannah likes them just as much as I do :-)

Now to close us out, here are my words of wisdom as a new mom:

• Your baby will get sick, no matter how much you try to shield them...embrace it
• Shots suck, probably more for mom than baby
• Poopy diapers are still funny (especially when dad ends up sticking his finger in one. Yes, this happened)
• No one can take care of your baby like a mom, but a dad can do a pretty darn good job
• Exercise hurts but wine makes it better!
