2 Month Check-Up

Dear Braedyn,

Yesterday you had your 2 month check-up. Two months! The doctor said you were perfect, that's right, she said perfect! You weighed in at 10.8 lbs and were 22.5 inches long (I think you're longer than that according to your centipede, but what do I know). And you had to get shots :(, but you did wonderful. Yes, you cried, but I often want to when I get shots too. You did wonderful.

After spending a long weekend in the suburbs we also came home yesterday. It's truly amazing how much better you sleep at home in the comfort of your surroundings than you do out. You're just like your mommy.

As well, your daddy came home after a long weekend away. It's so great to have him back, though we didn't get to spend much time with him, you were sleeping and I was was sick. As well, he's busy looking for a job. Unfortunately this tough economy has hit us too. You will come to learn, in your not so distant future, that this time you were born in is the worst time for our economy since the Great Depression in the late 20's and 30's (1920's and 1930's that is). Your daddy is trying extremely hard to find an amazing job that will help us as a family, and I have no doubt he will. You are so lucky to have a daddy like him. He's truly amazing.

Tomorrow marks the first night of Passover. It's the Jewish holiday we celebrate for 7 days by not eating any leavened bread and instead eat this nasty cardboard tasting stuff called matzo. It's a special holiday, one that is too long to write about and you will learn all about someday. Also, all of your extended family is coming in. It's exciting because you haven't met them yet! It'll be fun, but hectic.

I am also proud to announce to you that you are going to be a cousin! Your Auntie Marisa is expecting a baby October 22! Congrats Auntie Marisa, you're an amazing mom to Max and Josie and you'll continue to be to new baby Mandrea!

Love,

Mommy
