I had such a great birthday! We all met at my mom's house Tuesday evening for pizza and ice cream cake. We all joked around and just had such a great time. It was honestly one of the best birthdays I have ever had. It wasn't fancy or exciting, but it was warm and relaxing, and of course the best part of all was sharing it with Sami. As you can see, Sami got all dressed up for the occasion. :)
On Wednesday, Sami had her two-month check up. She weighs 7 pounds and 7 ounces, and is 20.75 inches long. She only had half of her two-month vaccinations, since the doctor said she is still small and that most babies getting their two-month shots are between 10 and 12 pounds. In four weeks she will be going back for the rest of her two-month shots. She screamed her head off, but aside from that it was a great visit. The pediatrician agreed that Sami is doing great on her new formula and seems like a new baby.
I did receive some sad news earlier today. Carlos, Sami's biological father, passed away on Monday night. Tomorrow I will call Elizabeth to see how she is doing. Elizabeth and Carlos had been together for almost 10 years. He had been in a terrible car accident last May, and was paralyzed from the neck down, which was part of the reason Elizabeth decided to give the baby up for adoption. I never did meet Carlos, but I feel connected to him through Sami, and was very sad to hear the news. Elizabeth did say often that Carlos may have been better off dying in the car accident, because of the state he was left in being paralyzed, communicating only through blinking, so I hope he is in a better place now, and no longer suffering. One day I will have to tell Sami about not only Elizabeth, but Carlos, too.
It was very nice - glad you had a good birthday and hopefully many more
