This Week...

Well...We found out Casey Anthony was not guilty on the three most important counts of this case...I think we all know she had something to do with that baby dying but I guess the State just didnt prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she did...Can you even really do that with only circumstancial evidence?(did i spell that right?)  Anyway, the day the verdict came out, I just stayed in shocked all day...
Wednesday, Ryder had his 2 month doctor appointment. He usually naps around 10:30am to 2 or 2:30pm. His doctor appointment was at 11 am so he was already a little peeved about being bothered when all he wanted to do was sleep. I knew it was going to be a rough appointment because he had to get shots:( Thankfully, Pat was able to meet us for most of the appointment before he had to go back to work and fly...The doctor said Ryder looked great...he weighed 12 lbs 2 oz and was 23 inches long...they brought a sheet with all his percentiles and he was in the 50% so I was excited to find out that he wasn't as big for his age as I thought he was...I guess even though he eats a lot, his HUGE blow-out diapers are doing their job haha. Pat held him while I talked to the doctor and then she listened to his heart, checked his hips, etc...When the doctor left, Pat had to leave, too. When Pat walked out, Ryder started to get upset, I think he knew the nurse was about to come back in with shots...

The first was an oral vaccine, which was apparently not pleasant tasting, and then came 2 shots to my baby's tiny left thigh...Oh Em Gee...you woulda thought the world was ending...that poor baby was off kilter for the rest of the day...his face turned tomato red and he began to hold his breath because he just couldn't stand it...I finally got him to the truck (which Pat thankfully let me borrow and he took the bronco to work) and walked him to comfort him...he fell asleep when I started driving...I went to a nearby Target parking lot to feed him and Chelsea came and met me to go grocery shopping at VONS. He only fussed a little there and I was able to get what I needed. However, I didn't get infant Tylenol...BIG MISTAKE...Ryder and I got home and Chelsea helped me out by paying attention to him so i could unpack...when she left Ryder's leg really began to hurt...Pat got home and just held him...we finally got him to calm down and gave him some Tylenol but he hadn't really taken any of his naps all day and it was a rough night...
My sister-in-law convinced me, yesterday, to try cloth diapers. So, last night, I ordered a few on sale to try them out....I know they end up being cheaper, but Pat and I aren't sure we can put up enough for the initial investment. If we end up liking them, then we'll start building our supplies little by little. Our budget is REALLY tight with me not working so we're trying to be smart about everything. I'll be getting the diapers in the mail soon, so we'll see how it goes:)
