Well this was sure the interested week for the little one. Colette had her two month physical which meant she got all of her vaccinations. To put it nicely the rest of the week has been pretty stressful for my wife and I. There has been a lot of crying for the baby and very little sleep for me. Yesterday my wife got away for a friends birthday so I took the day to go snowboarding. Now that is what I call teamwork.
This upcoming week is going to be the first week that we wont either be at families house or have family here in Denver since before the holidays. That means I am going to finally be able to get back to a normal work schedule. I have a never ending to-do list that I need to begin to tackle.
To make this weeks review even better I am going to add a giveaway. I have joined several other bloggers and will be giving one lucky reader $1,000. This giveaway is being brought to you by StructuredSettlement-Quotes.com, America’s #1 structured settlement and annuity marketplace.

I have less than 3 days until I get to finally meet my little one as that is when he is being induced. I’m not excited about all the vaccinations, but I know they will protect him from all the nasties out there.
An early congrats. I had a friend who put it a good way. Better a little fuss now than measles later.
Thanks for mentioning Jason’s guest post at my site this week!
Thanks for the mention as always Sean! Having the little ones getting shots is never really a fun experience. Hope you’re able to get back to more normalcy this week.
Wow, I can’t believe you’ve already been a dad for two months; time sure does fly! I bet it’ll be nice to not have anybody at the house and have a semi-normal schedule again. I know it’s nice to have friends/family over but I really like when nobody is visiting and we have a weekend to ourselves.
These first two months have REALLY gone by fast. Scary and sad.
Thanks for the mention Sean. I am not looking forward to the shots next month. I am still struggling with the lack of sleep. Good luck to you getting it back to “normal”
I have heard people say that their kids did just fine and some that said it was horrible. I think part of our problem was having family in town and that caused her to be way over stimulated.
Anytime 🙂
She is so cute! Thanks for the mention, my friend!
You’re welcome and thanks a lot
