Well, we survived the first round of vaccinations... Little Riley bug got 2 shots, and screamed her little head off. Imagine the reddest red you've ever seen, and that was the color she turned. She got both shots, then the nurse handed my screaming baby to me, and I just held her and tried to get her to calm down. She cried for a few minutes, then she would stop, look at me for a few seconds, and then it was as if she was like, "Waaaaaait a minute, I remember what just happened to me...." and then that big bottom lip started to quiver, and then, "WAAAAHHHHHH!" This went on for about 5 more minutes, until she calmed down and then fell asleep. She slept for the next 25 minutes, including the car ride home, thank goodness. The nurse told us lots of babies get fussy and might get a fever after their shots, and some get really sleepy. Thankfully, so far Riley has been really sleepy and not too fussy. Although she did not do too well in her moses basket last night, but I cut her a little slack since she had a rough day...
In other news, Riley is still weighing in at 9 pounds 2 ounces, but the doc would like to see her gain even more weight, so Riley has to have weekly weigh-ins now to monitor her weight gain. Boo. I thought she was gaining weight quite well! Hmph. My little petite baby!
Look at the little angel on my side of the bed... she sure loves it in there!

This is where we have been spending a lot of our time lately. It's been really cold here, and our house is pretty cold, and we're going to go broke heating the whole house, so we keep the bedroom warm, and hang out in it all day, pretty much. Mark even spent the evening working in the bedroom rather than in his office last night to escape the cold. Riley likes it, I'd say...
We did venture out into the living room long enough for to spend some quality time on her playmat... she's just starting to take interest in it... and she still wants nothing to do with tummy time, unless she's on the boppy pillow, then she's happy as can be.
And finally, today (hopefully) my cousin Dana should/could be having her twins!! So maybe, some day in the future, when we at least live in the same country, Riley will have some little buddies to play with at family gatherings!! Can't wait to meet them (via the internet, unfortunately)!
