one more week

Olivia had a doctor's appointment today. I woke up feeling really crappy. My head hurt so unbelievably bad, I couldn't see, I had a temp of 103, and my body ached.
So Joel stayed home from work and went to Olivia's doctor appt with me. It was her two month check up so she had to get her vaccines. Oh my gosh. That was the worst thing ever. I am so glad that Joel went because the nurse had Joel hold down her legs while she was giving the shots. I was just sitting in a chair, horrified and crying. If I had gone by myself, another nurse would have had to do the leg holding. I could hardly watch.
She seems to be doing fine now. Back to her 3 hour naps and 8 hour nightime sleep.
God really gave us an amazing baby girl.
She weighs 12 pounds 1 ounce now and is 24 inches long!! The doctor said that she has the head and neck control of a 4 month old, and she is smiling like a 4 month old would. She is so amazing.


Joel and I are leaving for PF on Sunday.
The North Idaho Fair is next week and we're going. We're pretty much going just so I can get an elephant ear. I love those things. Maybe I'll get two.
