18 Month Checkup

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009 | Uncategorized | No Comments

Sarah just had her 18 month checkup. She cried a bunch, but was a lot better than I expected. She weighed in at 26.6 lbs and measured 33 inches long which equates to 75% in weight and 85% for height. She received 2 shots and will be going back in a few weeks for the flu shot and the H1N1 vaccine as recommended by our pediatrician.

Sarah’s Weekend Alone

Sunday, October 4th, 2009 | Uncategorized | No Comments

Blanka and I left Sarah alone for the weekend for the first time in her short life. We were invited up to Vermont to celebrate the marriage of my coworker. We were hesitant to leave Sarah, but the 5 hour drive would’ve been too much and we didn’t have plans, nor the time to sightsee or do any touristy stuff while up there.

We knew Sarah would be in good hands with my the grandparents, but we still were nervous about leaving her. I was afraid of Blanka’s reaction when we said our goodbyes, but strangely enough, there were no tears or anything else.

We spent the the weekend up in Vermont and had a good time at the wedding. We missed Sarah very much, but the time went by very quickly. Friday night we left NY, Sunday morning, we left VT. By late Sunday afternoon, we were all back together. Sarah was happy to see us and we were ecstatic to see her. No love lost, no problems, no issues whatsoever. I think we might have to schedule more weekends away for us so that Blanka and I can get a full night’s sleep.
