The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

The Good
Last week Papa Jim and Kaky came to town and we all had so much fun. We went out to Uno's and then came back to the house to just hang out and let them enjoy grandparent time. They couldn’t believe how big she had gotten. This week I think she’s bigger.
Tonight we are going to Clinton to see Grammy, Daddy Ben and Kristi (Jeremy’s grandparents and aunt). Kristi has not met Selah yet so she can hardly wait. She is flying up from Florida for the weekend and is bummed because she thinks she is only getting a couple hours with Selah. She doesn’t know that we are spending the night so she can get her fill. :)
The Bad (according to parents who think time is already moving too fast)

This past Tuesday, we went by to see Patrick and Ali's, some friends of ours, baby in the hospital. She was born on Monday and was only 18 inch long and weighed 6.5 Lbs. It really made us realize how big Selah has gotten. While she did out weigh Mary Alice by more than a pound and had a good 3 1/2 inches on her it was still neat and sad and scary to see a comparison of about how big she started out and how big she is now. WOW! What a difference! It looked like Selah had swallowed one of those babies.
The Ugly

We went on Monday to get her first shots and it was extremely traumatic! As is always the case, more so for mom and dad than for Selah but still. After the first one and Selah screaming like we've never heard before, :( Cass came back into the room and asked "is that it?" When we said no there’s two more she stressed, left and called her dad. The next two were just as bad. It broke daddy's heart to have her laying in his lap look up at him and then all of a sudden let out a blood curdling scream. It did make daddy feel better when she clung to him afterwards as if to say please protect me. We are already counting the days till round two. Not looking forward to it. Pray that she actually finishes her vaccines. ;)
