So Shaelynn went for her 4 month doc appt - it was measurement and immunization time. I am pleased to say she is 22 inches long and 14 lbs - she has gained 4 lbs and grown 2 inches since her last appt 2 months ago. She was a happy girl during the doc visit. She smiled for him - and drooled on him. Overall the visit was good ... then it was time for the shots and boy was she mad with me after that.
On Tuesday, she grabbed her rattle on her own and also put her binky in her mouth. I know it may not be a big deal but it shows how much she is growing up. As you can see by her picture from the last post, she can lift herself up on her arms and now I am just waiting for her to roll over on her own. She has been eyeing our food as we eat and when we motion food toward her, she opens her mouth. So I bought rice cereal and she spit out more than she kept in. It was fun to try to help her try.
This weekend she gets her ears pierced - here comes the tylenol once again.

It's Already February????
Wow!!!! Where did the time go??? I have been working overtime all last month in addition to school and home life I guess time figured if I wasn't paying attention then it could run away. Well while time was flying off some things were happening.
I decided it was time to join a gym - like I don't have enough to do. But when the baby spit up on me on my way to work and I couldn't change them because of not having another pair to wear that were comfortable I decided enough is enough. My choice was to either surrender and buy new clothes or do something to bring back my pre-pregnant clothes. So I saw an ad for a ladies-only gym in the monthly circular which was about $20/month with free childcare, free personal trainer and free workout classes, I thought I should give them a try.
Well I liked what I saw and signed up. I am now the official owner of a gym membership for the next 3 years. But I have access to classes like Zumba and Bootcamp along with Yoga and Pilates. I can also bring the baby and she has a chance to interact with other people. And the machines do tell you how to use them.
So I tried it for the first time today. It started with 20 minutes of cardio and then it was measurement time. OMG!!!!! I knew I needed some work but I had no idea. So I used some of the machines -- and I can already feel the soreness setting in. I arranged for my session with the personal trainer for Fri afternoon so I can set some goals. Plus I am going to a Hip Hop class tomorrow (I am going to see if I can get Liana in that class for free as she wants to do it too).
I have also discovered Facebook and have reconnected with many of my high school friends. It's great to hear what has been going on in their lives and all their accomplishments. I do have to say they have been out doing great things - makes me think about what I have been doing with my life - not nearly impressive. I look forward perhaps getting together with some of them this summer on my visit back home.
And while I have been working so much, my little one has been enjoying the time spent with her sitter and her dad and brothers and sister. She is such a happy baby - I can't wait to see what kind of woman she turns out to be.
I also started my Management Theory class tonight so it seems that for the next 5 weeks my life will consist of work, school and home --- wait that was my life already, so I guess I'll be alright.
