The last weekend in April Derek's Parents and Sister came up. Misha had not seen Zoë since Christmas, so she made up for the time with snuggles. That Saturday night was Brian and Nicole's Wedding and Derek's family stayed home with Zoë. I guess she did not go to bed to easily for them, it was her first time someone other then me put her down to bed.
The Wedding was beautiful and a lot of fun. I got smashed, now this happens about once a year for me. It had been a year and a half since my last time, so I guess I was over due. So sick that when Derek's Dad came to pick us up I vomited out the window while he was driving. Luckily I felt okay the next day.
That Monday Zoë had her 6th month check up she weighed in at 16 lbs. 2 oz., 29" long and a 43 cm head. She is in the 95% for every thing but weight she is in the 25-50%. I also learned that the Dr. had mixed up Zoë's and another babies prescription. She had been taking allergy medicine for 3 days! We got the correct stuff and her ears cleared up. He said her having taken the allergy medicine would not harm her, but man what an eye opener.
Derek's Mom stayed that next week with us. It was so nice to not have Zoë at work with me. Lots of work actually got done and when I got home I was so excited to snuggle and play with her. I also had so much more energy. This was a sure sign I needed to find child care for her.
That weekend Derek's Dad came back up. We watched the Derby at our house and the Haney's came over. They have two girls and one of them is just a week younger then Zoë. All the girls had a great time rolling around on the floor. Derek and Norm had the winning horse so we were a happy bunch.
The next Morning was mothers day and what a great day it was. The previous week Derek and his mom had made me the cutest flower pot ever with Zoë feet and toes painted on it. That day Derek his Dad and I built me a fantastic garden.
Most of May has been storm after storm hitting the area, great for my garden not great for our safety. We have been very lucky most of the storms kinda just go around us or fizzle off just west of us.
I was suuuuuuuuuuper pissed recently because Scarlett was given the wrong vaccine. I distrust doctors anyway, and vaccines, and it was, as you said, a real eye-opener. I can't believe the medicines they just haphazardly give kids. It's awful.
ReplyDeleteHopefully Scarlett was okay. I wish that I could find a pediatrician that would guide and suggest for natural options. I asked about flying with Zoë and if there was any thing I should worry about or do and the response was give her Tylenol. I know a lot more now, but I put to much trust in the Doctor.
