Sadie is 2 months old. I can't believe it! She's growing and changing so quickly. She's started to smile huge gummy smiles and she coos and gurgles the sweetest sounds. She's so alert She loves playing on her play gym and expects the mobile to be turned on as soon as she's set in her swing.
She's outgrowing her 0-3 month clothing but mostly just the pants. Although we have had to retire my favourite footie PJ's but that's OK because they were 3 for $5. at Walmart!
Today was her 2 month check-up and shots. She's 12 pounds and 25 inches long. She cried briefly during the shots but nothing like I'd imagined. There was a baby in a nearby room that sounded like an alley cat. I was getting worried that Sadie would freak out too but she was so good. Since the appointment she's been a bit more cranky but otherwise is doing well.
In other news I found out that my mom is actually coming on the 4th. She'll be here for 10 days. The first bit of drama is unfolding but it's thanks to my Aunt. My mom is flying down on an Air Canada buddy pass (pays tax only) and is required to travel with my Aunt who is a former AC employee. My Aunt was coming down anyway so my mom is technically just hitching a ride with her. Unfortunately my Aunt feels entitled to payback for this trip in the form of my chauffeur service. She wants me to pick her up at the airport and drive her 1.5 hours to her destination. I told my
Mom that driving that distance is not easy with an infant who feeds every 3 hours. My Aunt wouldn't accept no as an answer. After suggesting a few options she wouldn't budge. It has come down to my paying for a cab ride for her to make this go away!!! That's my Aunt for you!

Wow- that is some family drama! Good luck with all of that. Sadie is a long lady! Any new pics???? I hear ya on growing out of clothes! Chunk is already starting to outgrow 3-6mo! We keep a rubbermaid on hand and just throw in outfits as he outgrows. It is crazy to think about how fast they all grow.
ReplyDeleteyour mom is the one getting the deal so she should pay for it. we have ac employees in our family and they wouldn't expect that if they were going the same way--that's insane. and seriously how is it up to you to pay or arrange those things? your mom is visiting you and can pay her own way. ugh that makes me mad especially since you're on mat leave.
ReplyDeleteGood gravy in regards to your aunt. Would it be cheaper to send her on Super Shuttle or one of those other airport shuttle services. Enjoy your time with your mom. Make sure you give yourself a break from her each day, whether it's to "run to the store" for 30 minutes or bathtime. It will help your sanity.
ReplyDeleteStacey - My mother's excuse for not paying is that she has "no money". I know it's the truth. The reason makes me even angrier because I just found out she lent someone a huge amount of money. I don't know what to do with her!!
ReplyDeleteLisa - I'm sending her by cab to a train. I thought about air port shuttles etc but this seems like it may cost less and be slightly more inconvenient for her! LOL
