Bradyn is 2 Months Old

Bradyn's 2 month Dr's appointment went well. He was 13lbs, 5oz and 25.5 inches tall. That put him in the 85th percentile for weight and the doctor said..."My chart doesn't go that high" for height. Sooooooooo that didn't take long! We anticipated that he would be a tall since Chad is 6'7" and I'm not exactly short at 5'9". I'm gonna have to save up, I foresee some monsterous grocery bills in the not so distant future! He also got his first round of shots at this visit. I took a couple days off work to stay home with him because I didn't know if he would be extra fussy, feverish, or have any other reactions. It turns out he was perfectly fine. It never even really phased him. So I just got to spend a couple days home with him. It was great! I could get used to that! I miss him when I'm at work still. I wish we didn't have to take him to day care. Oh well. I guess that's reality. At least for now. :(

Sad Day-Back To Work

Well, the day I have been dreading has come. I had to go back to work today. It was the hardeset thing I have ever had to do. Chad and I both too Bradyn to day care today and it was extremely difficult leaving him. I have been so used to spending every waking (and sleeping) moment with him and to go to only getting to see him for a couple hours is brutal. I cried when we dropped him off. I cried on the way to work. I cried at work. Everyone at work was extremely supportive, but having people tell me it would get better or tell me it was ok, just made me tear up even more. I thought about going to see Bradyn at lunch time, but by then I had finally calmed down and I thought it would just start the whole emotional process of leaving him all over again. I decided to go out to lunch with the group instead. I don't know if I can handle this. I really really want to stay home with him. Is there anything I can do?.... Win the lottery. Darn...Pray for me to win, I'm gonna keep playing!

I'm just starting to get to know him. I miss his smiles, I miss watching him sleep, I miss him.

Kyle & Laura Mazanowski

Chad's youngest brother Kyle married Laura on July 6th at Walter Payton's Roundhouse in Aurora. It was a perfect day for an outdoor ceremony and everything turned out wonderfully. It was a happy wedding, fun reception, and an exciting weekend as Bradyn got to meet lots of his relatives. Almost all of the family from Pennsylvania made it into town, so all the cousins were busy entertaining the baby all weekend. It was a long an tiring weekend, but good to see everyone and fun to show off the baby.

Especially since we found such a handsome little tux for him!
