Baby Boy

Today was one of those days that first time parents DREAD. I had to take Maddox to get his 2 month immunizations. He did really well as we waited and waited and waited. We sat waiting for an hour, and I was getting extremely nervous because it's was nearly time for him to eat and I hadn't brought a bottle. Bad planning on my part, but I didn't think we would be there that long...after all, I did make an appointment. So when they called me back I had to get a shot first because it's been shown in the past few years that teens and young adults have been getting pertussis (whooping cough) and passing it on to babies. So I got a shot for Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis. Baby boy was up next and he had to drink one vaccine, and then get 3 shots. 2 in one leg and 1 in the other. He screamed each time and would settle down in between to suck on my finger and then start screaming again. Poor baby....breaks a mothers heart! Because we had such a rough day, I treated myself to Chipotle and went to Kohl's and bought him 2 outfits and a onesie. When we got home, I laid him in his crib and he put himself to sleep and proceeded to sleep for 6 hours 4 hours.

On another note, i posted a note on facebook last night describing the situation with Marcus. He text me bright and early this morning to tell me that he read it. He also had a few things to discuss with me and proceeded to question me about how i expect him to be involved, what i expect of him, and so on and so forth. I told him straight out that it's hard for me to see him doing all this stuff and living his life when he claims he has no money and can't afford to come here. We text back and forth for nearly an hour and I think maybe just maybe we came to some sort of a conclusion. Maybe not, I don't know. Maybe things will change when we go down there. Maybe he'll see HOW amazing Maddox is and try harder. Only time will tell.
