Miss Caroline was two months on Saturday. She went to the Pumpkin Patch to "celebrate." Today, we went for her two month check up at the doctor. All was good. She is continuing to grow and everything looked good. Caroline does at a snotty nose, but the doctor said she was fine and that it was just a small cold. He mentioned that she will pick up lots of kid germs here in the next couple of months, but when she is Tillman's age, she will likely not get sick much since she has been exposed to so much so early (by having a sibling).

Her head control has really improved over the past month. She doesn't do much tummy time, but when I hold her over my shoulder, she is looking around and taking in the view. Miss Caroline loves to be held. She knows when you put her down. It has been difficult to get things done around the house with her being like this, but I must admit I love that she loves her mommy! I enjoy holding her and cuddling. Tillman wasn't / isn't much of a cuddlier, but Miss Caroline loves to snuggle.

She continues to breastfeed, and we have had to supplement with formula here and there. I think when I go back to work, I will likely have to supplement more. At the beginning of the month, I got mastitis, which really hurt my milk production, but we are trying hard to gain it back/maintain it. I'm on 20 pills/herbs a day trying to keep everything going.

At the doctor's visit, I, of course, had my list of questions. One was about a dry cough. His thinking is she has reflux, but not enough to do anything about it. He asked if she spits up. She does occasionally, but I guess I should have said yes, because she spit up on me today so much that we both had to change our clothes and get a bath! I guess she got me back for the 3 shots she got today! She was ok with one, but once the second shot went in the leg, she was screaming!

Caroline's hair is what folks notice about her first. I have people stop me in the store to look at it. She has thick curly hair! I just love it. We can put bows in it. I sure hope she keeps her curls and her blue eyes. They are just too cute!

I'm so glad that I have taken 12 weeks off of work to enjoy Caroline. This has been wonderful maternity leave. I wouldn't trade this time with her for the world. We have been getting out the house and enjoying lunch with friends, doing a little shopping, and just hanging around the house waiting for the boys to come home! She has been sleeping through the night which has helped everyone stay on schedule. She has been a real joy. As the doctor told me today, when you have a good baby, it makes you want to have another one! However, I found out the daycare payment for two, and I must say that is wonderful birth control for now!
