Best part of week: my Dad came up this weekend and spent the night with Sophia. He is the cutest Papi!
Worst part of week: She has had 2 terrible screaming crying fits this weekend. I'm talking wailing, inconsolable crying, shaking fits. It has happened twice on our drive home from somewhere even though she normally loves her car seat.
Milestones: I see a tooth coming in!!! The pedi said she would probably start teething early last month but I can see a little white tooth under her gums! Crazy!

Best part of your week? I've had to work the last two days closing up my classroom. He's been a peach in letting me work and sleeping well on the road and in his stroller.
Worst part of your week? It's been an adjustment for Jimothy and I with him going back to work. I can't do all the wakeups, daily chores and fussing then watch him get to stroll in and go to the gym for 1.5 hours after work. Then just get up and go to bed early because "he worked all day".
Milestones? This kid has to be hitting s growth spurt...bottomless pit this week.
PIP those kiddos!
We have a weekly date with Vince's great grandma...she LOVES to snuggle him and it warms my heart to see how happy it makes her.

His faces when he chews on things crack me up. And sitting in his bumbo.

When is your EDD? 11/21
How are you feeling? Tired, still nauseated sometimes but that's getting better. Dr. wants to start me on iron supplements b/c I'm slightly anemic. Hopefully that will give me some more energy. I'm also still struggling with some PGAL anxiety but I'm just taking one day at a time. Each day I am still pregnant makes me feel a little better.

Any names picked out? A few, but that's a secret for now
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? No theme really. It's just a hodgepodge right now but it's green so I'm starting with that.

Cinnabun and Junebug say, "Go Wildcats!"
Best part of your week? Loving on my boys and getting to Target and Publix
Worst part of your week? Yesterday Cameron felt hot and looked flush. Temporal thermometer read a few high readings and got up to 101.7. So we have been in the hospital since last night. Poor guy had to get a line in his foot, spinal, chest X-ray, 2 separate blood draws. It was traumatizing for us all. Great news is that he hasn't had a fever since and all labs are negative. hopefully going home soon!
Milestones- Grayson gave me a smile when I was playing with him the other day. Not sure if it was reflex or intentional, but i take it! Also, Cam is up 1lb 2 ounces from birth!
@abt8113 - congrats on bringing him home!!!! That is so exciting!!

Michelle & Michael
Married - August '10
TTC - Since September 2011
@mseale They swaddled Reid constantly at the hospital. I can see where it would be a SIDS risk if they got out of the swaddle and/or if the blanket was in their face.

Milestones? She's eating cereal and loves it. However, she gets mad when you don't feed her it fast enough. She's realizing that her high chair = food. So you better have the food ready to go before you put her in it, or you get grumpy baby.
