6 Month Check Up

Moose had his 6 month check up today even though he turns 7 months on Saturday. He has gained a pound and grown an inch since the last time we were in. The poor baby got an oral vaccine, and 4 shots. He was such a good sport about the whole ordeal. It wasn't until several hours later that his legs really started hurting and in momma's arms was where he wanted to snooze. Steve made dinner tonight because of that and it was w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l!!!!

Moose and I were playing in the waiting room when 2 ladies walked in, 1 made a bee line for Moose, scooped him out of my arms and I was barely able to ask if she was _____ (His biomom's name). No, "Hi, I'm ___. Can I please hold him..." Nope, just zipped over and yanked him away from me. The things she talked about to her mom were quite interesting. Out of the blue she informed me he is number 6 and she is pregnant with number 7. I know this. I also know, although she didn't tell me this part, that she doesn't have custody of ANY of her children. Funny how she left out that part.  Eventually we went into the exam room. Biograndma stayed in the waiting room. When it was time for the shots, Biomom left - apparently she's never been in the room when any of her children have received their shots. Whatever.

After the doctor's appt, we visited my Grandma and made her a birthday lunch. Moose was super good, as always while we were there.   We came home in time for the kids to get home from school.   I had multiple phone calls to deal w/since it was a bad Alzheimer's day for my grandma.

I talked to my dad tonight - he came home from the hospital today and we discussed when I will fly out to Tucson to visit. I leave on the 8th of December which led to another e-mail to Moose's SW - please, please, please find Moose in incredible family before then.

Hoping he gets a good night's sleep tonight poor baby- 4 shots and he's cutting his two bottom teeth. You wouldn't know unless he's munching on your knuckles then you can start to feel the tiny teeth protrude.

Anyways, off to book Airline tickets. Still wrapping my head around the fact that my mom died of pancreatic cancer 3 years ago, my dad is dying of lung cancer and my grandma has Alzheimer's.....
