immunizations

These days have GOT to be the worst days to be a parent. I took Jayda to get her 6 month shots today (yes I know, she is 8 months old) and again, I'm sure it hurt me more than her. I guess it was sorta cute though because between sobs she was saying "mum,mum" and burying her face in my armpit. I'm not sure if that made it harder or easier. At least she wasn't mad at me. Anyhow, down to the details that you all want - Jayda is 28 1/4 inches tall, 17.1 lbs and her head is 44.9 cm round. Other than her head, which grew over 2cm she didn't really grow much. She is on the low end for her weight but I think, and so did the nurse that it's just because she's so tall and she hasn't evened out yet. Other than that the nurse said she seems to be doing well. But of course, I knew that without having some nurse tell me so. Needless to say, today will be cuddle time all day. I called Steve at work when we were done and said that I can't take her next time, he's going to have to do it. But, realistically even though he would do it, I probably will take her. Just give me a couple days to recouperate from the tramatizing experience and I'll be o.k. to do it all again. I guess that's what being a mom is all about:)

Here's a picture Jayda with "santa" and one taken right after "the big question".

Long over due anouncement

I know, I know this has taken me a little longer to post than most would expect. Anyhow, for those of you who don't know already - which I really don't think there is anyone who doesn't know - Steve and I are ENGAGED.
It is sooooooo exciting. Steve popped the question christmas eve - very romantic! Pretty much the whole family knew and they were involved in pulling off the biggest surprise of my life. "Santa" and his "elves" came to deliver gifts which I though was so thoughful being Jaydas first x-mas and all. I was quite curious when everyone else in the house recived gifts also and as we started opening them I had to keep opening, and opening and opening my big box which quite quickly turned into a very small square box. I looked up from my opening and all eyes were on me and the room was silent........................................Trying to rip open the very last tiny box seemed to take hours. Finally it was opended Steve said his part and............I cried:) Of course it was out of pure joy and happiness and I said YES!.
So now Steve is my fiance and I, his! We are both excited to start planning and continue with our lives together.
And we all lived happily ever after..................................................................to be continued:)
