Blaise has baby acne really bad. It's basically all over his head and on his shoulders and chest as well. Poor kid. Completely harmless of course, but it looks so uncomfortable.
Speaking of uncomfortable, he got a shot at his 1 month check-up on Thursday... he did NOT like it. I know, no one likes shots, but Scott never screamed quite like this. Scott usually tenses on the first shot and doesn't cry or really protest until the second shot. For example, at his 15 month check-up a couple of weeks ago, Scott only had to get one shot and he didn't cry at all. The nurse stuck him, I put him down from the table and he climbed into the stroller content as could be. Now, Blaise, on Thursday, the instant the needle touched his leg he starts kicking, turns bright red and screams like he's dying. It probably took me close to 5 minutes to get him to calm down enough to leave the office. I guess he's going to be like his Daddy, who also hates getting shots. (I can't say I love them, but I really don't care. I give blood and the needle is much bigger for that.)
Anyway... Blaise's 1 month stats are 9lbs 8oz, 21 1/4 inches. I really thought he was longer than that... and maybe he is. Measuring the length of babies is not exactly a precise science.

Scott's Sick
Yeah, Scott's sick. He was up all night on Wednesday night... not fun, considering I'm up in the night anyway to feed Blaise. Then he's had a low-grade fever and really gross runny nose since. Here's hoping it goes away quickly! And hoping nobody else catches it.
Blaise seems to be growing up. Spending a bit more awake time during the day. We have fun little chats and play for part of Scott's nap every afternoon... then he goes to sleep too and I can read or get stuff done. He's been adapting a somewhat schedule this week, which I appreciate. Especially the part where he does a little cluster feeding in the 7-9pm time frame and then sleeps for 5 hours. That's nice.
Time to watch Lord of the Rings. We're taking a break from Star Wars for a little while... however long it takes to finish watching LOTR.

Big Boy
He's still growing away. Yesterday was Scott's "2-month" check-up. He's now 14lbs 11oz and 24". He rather did NOT enjoy the immunizations, but otherwise didn't mind the doctor's office. I was very pleased with the doctor we met yesterday and certainly hope we'll get to see him again.
Cullen has been busy with work, though we got a special treat yesterday when he came early with tickets to the Wachovia Championship. Neither of us like golf- but it was nice to walk around and spend time together.
That hardly covers half of it... but Scott is finished with being at the library!

Growing Like A Weed
Cullen says Scott is growing like a weed. It's what Andrew (who was his Best Man) always said about his daughter Rebekah when she was little. Scott is growing fast though. He's up to 9lbs and 7oz already. That's up 2 lbs from his birth weight. (Sorry, but I have no idea what percentile that is... the doctor didn't say and I really didn't care enough to ask.)
Today Scott and I are having our first library adventure. So far, he is sleeping well. He tends to sleep pretty well between 9 and noon everyday though, so it's not really surprising. I just have to make sure we're finished with the errands before he wakes up in another half hour or so.
This past weekend Scott got to meet his Grandma and Granddad. Cullen's parents were in town for a quick visit. I think he likes them :) Although, I also think I discovered that company of any kind after dinner time for Cullen and I seems to mess with Scott's ability to sleep. Meaning, it's harder for him to fall asleep and he wakes up more. Guess we'll try and limit evening visitors next weekend.
Next week we'll be having our first overnight visitors... Great Grandma and Grandpa Gardner. I can't wait to see them! They are going to be here at the perfect time too... besides the evening visitors thing, Cullen is going to be heading back to Lancaster for a business trip next week, about the same time Grandma and Grandpa get here. How convenient. Then on Friday, while they are still here, Patience goes for her yearly shots. It will be very nice to have an extra pair of hands at the vets office!
In other news... we grown ups, who had recently decided to retire from youth ministry are back. The youth director resigned a few weeks ago and another couple at church stepped up to take on that role. However, they left a hole where they had been teaching youth Sunday School. Cullen and I have agreed to help with youth Sunday School and we'll be switching off with another couple. We're all pretty excited about it right now and excited to get to know the youth at our new church better. Pray for us in this endeavor.

He's Here!
Scott Honor Keen was born on Thursday early in the morning at 12:53am. He's perfect- weighs 7lbs 7oz, and 19 1/2 inches long. He is nursing well and sleeping well so we are happy about both of those things. He sleeps between feedings pretty much all night long, which is great.
We made it to church yesterday, so he spent his first Sunday in the Lord's house. Today we are out and about... "visiting" Daddy's office, then we'll do a bit of shopping before his first visit to the pediatrician this afternoon.
Cullen will be home from work today and taking half days Tuesday and Wednesday before returning to a "regular" schedule on Thursday and Friday.
So all in all, things are going well. Off to visit the picture page and upload lots and lots and lots of pictures for your viewing pleasure.

From The Library
Here's my first post from the library. But I've dawdled and only have 8 minutes left online. Oh well.
Had my weekly appointment yesterday. Still no baby, and I didn't let her check me. So there. Leapfrog will be here soon. Cullen says today, everyday now.
I've been enjoying my time home this week... well aside from being sick with a cold and sleeping all day Sunday, almost all day Monday and a bunch on Tuesday. Yesterday I was up all day though and feeling much better. Not 100%, but colds take a while to get completely over.
Oh yeah, and we met our new neighbors. They have a 6 yr old son, and a 2 year old dog. Those two are very entertaining playing together in the backyard in the afternoon. The whole family seems really nice... definitely a huge step up from living next door to a group home. And since their house was a group home they have plenty of stories about things like emergency lights and soap dispensers to try and renovate away. It's fun to see all the houses in our neighborhood gradually being redone and to know that EVERYONE is having to get rid of green bathroom fixtures and not just us.
Well that's all the news for today. Hopefully next time I'll have a baby in tow!
