One Year On

Eek, our internet has been on the blink for a week.. with spotty reception here and there. I'll try and update tomorrow, but I wanted to quickly point out a few things:

On November 1st, 2008 we discovered we were expecting a baby! I peed on a stick at 4am one Saturday, the day we were heading with Ren to meet Fia and Laur for the Boston Veg Fest. They must have thought me terribly rude as I was desperate to retest and thus to leave our day together very early. We stopped off at the Target on Route One in Boston to test again.. such a faint line. The next day, still unsure, I tested again in Hannafords as I went to meed Kim, Bistra and Meghan for lunch... another positive - 9 in fact - but then a negative digital. Oh... the anxiety. On the Tuesday I tested with a digital again and got a positive. En route to my 8am class I stopped off at Jen's office - with pregnancy test in pocket - to share the early news. I am not goos at keeping things in :)

And so Raf is 4 months old now (this past Saturday). We saw Deb for his 4 month wellness check up. he's 15 pounds 1 and 25 inches long. His weight gain slowed down and he's had a height spurt. His head, though, is quite big... 95th percentile big :) He did have a shot, though, and that night he was just miserable.. as were we as he cried inconsolably for HOURS. Eek. We're currently dealing with the 4 month sleep regression, which I hear is pretty common. Oh my, I am going sort of loopy from the lack of sleep.

And on that note I'm heading to bed - hopefully.
