First things first...Miss Kara had her 2 month check up today...with shots...it wasn't as bad (for Tim and I) as I thought it would be, but still heartbreaking. My wonderful mother went with us, I think for moral support for me! Kara was naked and played on the table for a while before they came in...the doctor examined her...she's perfect...of course...and then she explained what vaccines she would be getting and what to expect, etc...then she got fussy and started to go to sleep in Grammie's arms when the mean shot lady came in...we laid her down on the table and Tim was next to her as I was at her head and one...two...three...scream"age" I tried to talk to her, but I was crying with her, the poor little girl was crying so much that she wouldn't breathe...I put a little breath in her face and she gasped for air...I quickly picked her up afterward and hugged her and told her sorry, and she just cuddled and fell right asleep...I think she wore her self out kicking and playing while being naked! She's still sleeping now as a matter of fact...3 hours later...but she didn't sleep much last night, I think she knew what was coming today!
Grampie had is 52nd birthday yesterday, along with Brandon who turned 9...Grampie was so excited to have Kara as his birthday present...along with a few beers. I'll tell you, I never imagined how he would be with her, I just figured it would be "just another baby" with Dad (Steve, that is, I totally disowned my "donor", but that's a whole other story that I really would need weeks to type, so from now on, Steve ((my step-father)) is referred to as Dad) but he is head over heals in love with this little girl and she is wrapped right around his finger! He misses her so much and often tells mom he can't wait a week to see her. He was happy and emotional too last night! We were glad that he had a great birthday.
My hormones (thanks to that lovely lack of thyroid and me just completely going off my medication) have taken a toll. I haven't..let's say...been the greatest person to live with the past couple of weeks, and worse recently. My hormones are all out of whack and I have to go Monday back to Syracuse to see what our next step would be. I know that I can't give up on myself or my body because I have a beautiful baby girl to take care of and a family that loves me. But, somedays I just wonder what my body would be like if they had just left my thyroid in there!
Anyway, I started this a while ago then Kara got fussy, so I fed her and gave her some tylenol, and now she just wants to be played with...thats all for now
xxoo to all

I told you the shots wouldn't be that bad, they totally forget about it as soon as you pick them up. She'll probably be tired and maybe cranky tonight but no biggie. Much love! Miss ya!
Hello I missed you and Kara this weekend. I drove this week so I may make a surprise visit during lunch. How is both of my beautiful cousins doing? She looks so damn cute in her pretty dress. It sucks not emailing every day but give me a call sometime at work if you still have the number whenever you get a chance. love you lots!!
I cannot believe Kara is already 2 months! From the look in your Mom and Dad's eyes, she's been with them forever! They are totally smitten with that little girl. And I can understand why, she is too adorable! I cannot wait for out little girls to meet!
