Let's start with Maddy's doctor's visit. I almost forgot about it! Matt and I went to bed really late last night (midnight!) and I woke up at 6:15 naturally and remembered with a start that her appointment was at 8 am!!! Fortunately, we had more than enough time to get ready and get there. Plus, it helps that her doctor is 10 minutes down the road in the hospital complex.
Now onto the visit! She really hates being manipulated!!! She hates it when the doctor looks in her ears and holds her down to get measurements! But she did well and overcame it fast enough. She did get three shots today, Hep A, chickenpox vaccine and Hib-4. She's now 29 1/2 inches and in the 60% (up from 28 1/2) and weighs 23 1/3 lbs and in the 80% (up from 22 1/2 lbs). I'm pretty sure that the last height measurement is off. I don't think they had her head all the way to the top of the bar so when they measured it came out longer at the feet. And she's only gained a pound! Tells you how much she's moving around now too!
Last night I went to Target to look for my White Elephant Gift for my Mom's Night Out this month. The limit was $20. I have to say, I think I spent my $20 very wisely! However, I can't comment on it too much here because I'm pretty sure that some of the moms read my page! I bought a few things for the house as well--2 Christmas CDs, Contact Solution, Diapers, Shower Gel for Matt, Slippers for me, two hand balms for me (both the previous are Chirstmas gifts) a 3 layered holiday candle and other stuff.
I tried out Matt's shower gel this morning--Sharp's Spearmint Foaming Scrub. It was on clearance for only $5.50 for 12 oz. Well, it smelled just like Bath and Body Works Stress Relief Shower Gel that I used to love but just a tad bit mintier! So today, after Maddy's first nap, I went out and bought two more (but these weren't on clearance??? I think the first one was mismarked). I was so excited to find a replacement for my discontinued Stress Relief! Matt may have to fight me for it! Actually, I love warm manly scents in the shower--woodsy, eucalyptus, mint, etc...
I picked up a new set of PJs for myself (for Christmas) and warm sleepers for Maddy while I was there as well.
Ran an errand to Kmart and took back a Smoke Alarm that we didn't need since Matt bought one the same day I did! Great minds... And, AND! MY PHOTO CARDS WERE IN! YEAH!!!!! So I'm going to run, sort through some Christmas gifts, maybe wrap a bit and then start writing out my cards while Maddy is still napping!
