It's been a super busy week. No time for blogging. I don't know if this week will be much better.

Here are some of the highlights of last week:

I took Asher to his 2 month appointment. Our little incredible hulk now weighs a whopping 15 pounds and is 24 inches long! He's in the 97th percentile for his weight and the 91st percentile for his height. He is growing like a week!

At his appointment he also got one of his shots - the DTaP vaccine. I was so worried and stressing the whole time, but the little guy smiled before, during and after the shot. It was almost as if he didn't even feel it and the nurse was so impressed. I feel a little bit paranoid now though because this kid just seems so pain tolerant that it almost concerns me. Remember when he scratched his eyeball? He never even cried or seemed to know it, just like this shot. Am I crazy for feeling a little concerned that my son didn't cry when he got a shot?

On to other news....I got a bunch of milk containers in the mail this week. Yep, exciting stuff. Hopefully this isn't TMI, but I've been producing milk like a cow. Literally, I have more than twice the amount that Asher eats. So, when the doctor mentioned donating my milk to a milk bank at first I thought it was a little weird until I looked into it and then I got so excited. The mothers milk bank of Ohio partners with a milk bank here in Madison. They collect breast milk to help sick babies in the NICU whose mothers can't produce milk. They go through a huge screening process (I had to do an interview, fill out a multiple page application, have both my doctor and Asher's doctor fill out paperwork, and then later this week will go get 3 vials of blood drawn) and once the donor is approved they can start collecting milk. All the milk is screened and pasteurized to insure it's safe. I feel so happy that I can help little babies in need. I know if my child were in a similar situation and I couldn't give them the milk they needed I would be so grateful for the help, so I feel really happy that I can something to help others out because of my over-abundance of milk!

Another highlight...we're looking into getting new windows for our house (we desperately need them) and yesterday, when a friend from St. Louis was in town I asked his advice on what kind of windows we should look for (he's a building inspector). He then offered to take some time off work and come up to Madison and install them for us himself to save us a bit of money. We are constantly amazed by the wonderful people that are on in our life and can't believe someone would be so kind to do this for us. Doc has always been amazing to us like this. When we lived in St Louis he saved the day for us more times than we could ever count and we're so blessed to have him in our life!

This week looks like it will be a busy one! Our community group starts up again on Wednesday and on Friday my Dad and Stepmom will be here to visit for a few days. Who would have thought staying home would keep me almost as busy as when I was working full time? It sure is a whole lot more fun though! I am loving my life as a stay at home mom!
