Ouch
Yesterday was awful at the doctor with Sean 🙁 He had to get 5 shots and 2 oral medications. He screamed of course, and the fact that the nurse wasn’t that nice and was jabbing and stabbing him and making him choke on the oral medications didn’t make it any easier for me to watch. He got three blue camouflage bandaids on his thighs and lots of hugs and kisses from mommy the rest of the day. Poor little guy. He slept like a rock last night and is still sleepy today. What a traumatic experience! 🙁
On a good note, he’s growing like a weed. He now weighs 12lbs 5.2oz (up from 9lbs 8oz last month) and is 23 inches long (up from 21 last month). He’s around the 67th percentile on all the charts. That’s our boy!

Website Review: Schefold’s Home Page
I stumbled upon this today and thought I would give it a review. In Web 2.0 standards it gets a big fat “F+”! However, it does provide some interesting links and information. For instance did you know that someone named Ty Shaffer and I have something in common – we both like to make fun of Brian! Brian provides links to his friend’s webpages as well, although he is lacking paulandemily.com as well as ashandbrian.com (probably for a good reason though! 🙂 )

Tomorrow
I’m dreading tomorrow. Sean has his 2 month checkup…which means he gets all his shots :-(  I hate it already.

Early morning
We accidentally let Sean nap last evening through our dinnertime (about 630-800p). Since he had slept so much before he actually went to bed he decided that 5:00am was a great time to wake up for the day, instead of his usual 7:30. I stayed up till about midnight last night playing games with family, so needless to say, I’m a little pooped this morning. Guess we won’t be letting him do that anymore!

Save some cash on your cell phone bill
Cell Phone Advisor – BillShrink
I think I originally saw this on LifeHacker.com (AWESOME site), but just now got around to looking at it. You input your current cell phone plan information, your usage information (or what you would like to use) and it finds your a service provider and plan that would work best for your needs! Emily and I are no longer in a cell phone contract and have been toying with the idea for a couple years to find something that would better our needs. I’ve been with SprintPCS for 10 years this year (non stop mind you! how many other people can claim that??) and while I do like them, they never have good deals on their cell phones, you can’t simply switch in a sim card to a different phone and have all your contacts etc. and their phone selectiong is either childish or too professional for my needs. Maybe after using this website, I’ll sick Emily on them like we did two years ago to get us a better deal. I’d really like to use their wireless internet on my HTC Apache (thanks dmoney!), but the plans for that service are ridiculous for those of us who would only use it occasionally – but don’t want to pay a per minute or per Kb rate. Playing around on the site showed me that I could probably save $240 a year by switching to T-Mobile Family plan.

Tell me how you really feel
We’ve been struggling lately to get Sean to sleep in his crib. He has spent the last 7 weeks sleeping in people’s arms. I think between traveling so much and moving and having so many of his relatives around, people (including us) tend to just snuggle him constantly and so he’s never really learned to be put down to sleep. We’ve been working on it and in the process have learned that he really likes sleeping on his belly more than his back. We bought a special monitor that has an alarm on it if he stops moving/breathing for 15 seconds so we aren’t concerned about him sleeping on his stomach. Plus people have been doing it for all of time…it’s just seems like the current thing to make babies sleep on their backs.
Anyway, he’s been doing a little better with it; I’ve been tracking his eating and sleeping to start to get him in a little routine. This morning, I went in to check on him and I found him telling me exactly how he feels about sleeping in his crib instead of his mommy’s arms…check it out by CLICKING HERE.
Enjoy. 🙂

I hate dieting
I have 4 weeks until I return to work and still have quite a bit of weight to lose to get to my ‘pre-pregnancy’ weight. Not that I really care about getting to that exact weight really soon, but I really don’t want to have to buy a whole new work wardrobe b/c I can’t fit into any of my clothes *sigh*. So, Paul and I have started doing the Weight Watcher’s points program. We’re not going to meetings or anything, but we’ve done the program before so we know how it works. I figured that if I post something on here I’ll have to stick to the plan more rigorously 🙂
