Davis turns two (months)

Today marks Davis' two month birthday (calendar months that is). We celebrated it with a visit to the pediatrician's office and his first shots. I forced John into coming too since I knew I wasn't going to be able to stand watching him get shots (and I was right). I think we're all still recovering (Grammie and John had to deal with the aftermath since I headed to the office after the appointment). The good news is he's growing beautifully. Our big boy is now 23" and 12.5 lbs and seems to be developing all the skills he should at this age. I don't know that she believes he spends most of his day (including 3am) smiling. I can't believe I found myself telling my son not to be smiling at 3am, that he should be sleeping. What a precious little guy he is though, but he seems to want to wake up to play at 3am every night. Ugh. Grammie wonders if he's taking cues from the cats.

Today was my first day (afternoon really) back at the office since two days before he was born. It was good to ease back into it. I checked out the ladies lounge where I can pump and caught up with my officemates and our group admin. I also managed about 20minutes of work (and I saw my undergraduate researcher). A few things struck me though since this is my first time doing things since I was pregnant:

• I don't need to use the elevator anymore! I caught myself hitting the button and realized there was no reason I needed to take the elevator anymore. (In fact, I figure I really should be taking the stairs at this point).
  
• I reclaimed my chair from my officemate. I think at about 8 months pregnant, my normally great office chair started to kill my back, so I switched chairs. I felt kind of bad reclaiming it so soon, but I had warned him!
• I can stand on the subway again! Good thing, since it was packed.
• I didn't have to remove layers of clothes on the subway because I was running an extra 10degrees warmer.
  
• I can run for the bus! (Which, I had to do). My lungs felt like they were going to burst, but I made the bus.
