I’ve joined the dark side…
That’s right, I’m the latest member of Facebook. I can’t believe I waited sooooo long to get on the bandwagon! Could have been all those snarky comments I made about it that was holding me back. What I really think is funny is that I can’t believe how much I like it. Maybe a little too much right now. Is it sad that after hubby and I put Ben to bed last night we both sat on the couch and cruised FB for the evening? :)
So… I’ve joined the dark side of major time suck. And, I’m loving it!
Well, it looks like someone has just posted something on my ‘wall’ and I need to figure out how to respond. Hee. Hee. Hee.

And, no, it’s not about our little Ben:) Although, y’all know I can talk for days about him!
This is actually about my little sis! Wanted to give her a BIG MEANDERING SHOUT OUT of praise to her for completing Nursing School last month! I know, I’m a tiny bit late with the announcement. But, better late than never, right?
Congratulations Janet!!! Team meandering mind is very proud of you! Can you feel the love? That’s the happy dance we’re doing for you! And baby Ben gives his Auntie a million baby high fives! And, to top it all off, we’re very happy that you already have gainful employment all lined up. Awesome!
A HUGE Congrats again, to our favorite grad! The three of us are giving you a big devil horn wave from 2500 miles away! Wish we could be there to drink some pretty pink champagne with you! Big hugs and lots of love!!!
Filed under family | Comments (2)First shots- ouch!
Yesterday, hubby and I took Ben to his 2-month check up appointment. This was his 3rd visit to his doc, and on this visit he was going to receive his first shots. Of course, he received shots while in the hospital, but these were the first shots I was going to be present at. I have to admit, I was a tiny bit nervous about this whole ordeal. I’m really not sure why I was nervous, as I know what it’s like to receive shots; I get them on a weekly basis due to my battle with mother nature and allergies. I guess I was feeling what many mommies feel when faced with things they know that are going to be painful for their children.
Below is my mommy version of this story (mine is a tiny more dramatic )… If you’d like to read the daddy version, pop over to my hubby’s blog! :)
So the first part of the check up went just fine. Doc asked us a bunch of questions about: feeding, pooping, sleeping, & development stuff; we had a very nice chat, he said Ben is doing just great and we’ll see you in 2 months for the 4-month check up. Then, on his way out, he said the nurse will be back to give the shots. All of a sudden, I started to feel sweaty. I kept thinking… you’re the mom, put on a brave face! I bet baby’s can smell fear the same way bees do! It wasn’t long before the nurse came in with the shots. I sat in the corner of the room while hubby held Ben’s hands. Now, it was shot time. The good thing was the nurse moved fast in administering the shots. Awesome. The bad thing was that it didn’t take Ben long to figure out something felt very painful in his legs. I’ve never heard him cry like that; it was sooooo high pitched & loud. Before I knew it, I shed a few tears with Ben. I don’t think any mommy wants to hear their baby cry like that! Ugh. After the shots, hubby calmed Ben down (man, I was so glad he could come with me to this appointment!) and we were on our way home.
Overall, Ben really did great during his first shot appointment. He was only really upset for a minute or two. I think I definitely spent more time nervous about it than he did. And, he really only cried that crazy cry for about a minute. But it felt like so much longer!!! So… in 2 months, we get to do this all over again. I better start practicing my ‘mommy brave face’.
