Amelia's 2 Month Stats & Another House Update

Amelia had her two month check up this morning; she is officially growing like a weed, measuring in at 23 3/4 inches long and 13 lbs 5 oz which are both in the 90th - 95th percentile. She also had to get a bunch of shots which she did not enjoy at all and which caused her to spike a temp this afternoon and to be extremely ratty. But after some tylenol I did get some smiles out of her before bed.

The basement is coming along; they have officially been working for one week and have done all the framing, insulation and the subfloor, and will begin hanging the sheet rock for the walls tomorrow. They also gave us an estimate to do the repair work from the flood, which will include putting recessed lighting in the livingroom and diningroom so we finally have some light downstairs, after 6 years of having entirely inadequate lighting on the first floor. So you could say something good came out of the whole flooded toilet thing... Maybe...

Save the Date!

Charlie's 4th birthday party will be Sunday May 2nd from 1:30p to 3:30p at the Weymouth Club. Details to be announced soon!

Almost Spring

Today was the first day that you could almost call Spring -- it was sunny and 57, which really is almost shorts weather for the folks up here after a long winter ;) So we took Charlie to the park to play some baseball and then to the splash park. Here are some pictures:

House Update

So the house is getting back to normal -- the big machines and fans are all gone and now we are just left with holes in the ceiling, ripped up carpets and ripped up baseboard and door casements... But the good news is that the contractor started working on the basement today and he will happily fix the rest of the house for us too, whew :) Just have to wait for the adjuster to get back to us next week before he can start on any of it. In the meantime we are just happy to not have to climb over a blowing fan every time we want to go to the bathroom, not to mention the house was getting awfully *cold* with all those fans going 24/7... Anyway, here's to a much better weekend than last weekend!!

Damage Control

Our house is currently a disaster area, with contractors working to repair the damage from sunday morning's flood. Charlie took one look at the scenes below and said, "Mommy, when can I go back to school?"

The only upside is that, perhaps lulled by the white noise of the fans running, Amelia slept right through the night!

Finally Home!

We are home from the hospital today and like the good Mommy that I am I took some pictures on my cell phone of Amelia's weekend...
Not so happy right after her spinal tap:

Happier, dosed up on tylenol:

And here are both kiddos passed out in Amelia's hospital room:
