First Tragic Moment as a mommy!
Thursday Colton had his 2 month check up... it was awful. First the doctor comes in and tells me that Colton is doing great.. blah blah then he says, "ok, the nurse will be back in with the shots". She comes in and I put my sweet baby on the table. I kid you not, he looks up at me and grins really big and starts cooing and BAM, she jabs the first needle in. He starts screaming, tears (first time I have seen tears on him)start flowing.. then I realize that she has three more needles. WHY can't they give them all in one?!?! It was so sad.. I was crying, Colton was crying.. the nurse said alot of moms cry.. but it was so sad.. my poor sweet baby.
The next two nights were so bad. He was running a fever, very upset, did not want to be put down, and I did not want to put him down.. I felt bad. Today is going to be better though, he is much happier!
At his two month, he weighs 12 lbs 4 ounces (in the 70th percentile) is 24 inches long (80th percentile) an d his head is 16 inches around (70th). All in all he is right on track.
He is starting to really coo at us and give big grins.. he really enjoys daddy's kisses!
Hope y'all are doing well!
Love

Update on Darla
Happy Wednesday to ya :)
Colton and I headed to Lubbock bright and early last Thursday morning. Colton did great, not a peep on the plane. I was so afraid that I would be the screaming kid lady that I have pretty much complained about every time I fly!! Lucky for me, my son did not scream at all, WHEW!
We landed and had a nice surprise waiting for us, not only did PawPaw David and Nonna come to pick us up, but my sweet little Nana came in for the surgery and she was at the airport as well. It was really great to see her! I was excited for Nan to meet Colton.
We had a nice visit on Thursday night and then came Friday. Dar and David left at the buttcrack of dawn to get her all registered. Nan and I got to the hospital at about 7 30 I guess. Her surgeon was late so we got to go and see her in the holding area. Then time for surgery came.. and we waited and waited and waited. 13 hours later, we finally get to see her. She was in some pain but the real scare is that they found some cartlidge damage when they went in, so she is going to have to decide on another surgery or not.
Another bad thing was it was supposed to be a day surgery, in and out. Well, she could not empty her bladder so she ended up staying for TWO NIGHTS... needless to say, she was an UNHAPPY camper. David was an amazing husband, he took such good care of her, very dedicated and did whatever needed to be done to see to her comfort, not an easy task when she is so dang stubborn and did not take advantage of people waiting on her hand and foot :) She was ready to get out of there PRONTO.
She is home now and doing better. Lots of research is being done on the surgery that they want to do to fix the damaged cartlidge. We will see what they decide.
Aric just fell in love with Colton, he loves that baby so much. What a great uncle!! We were sad that Brit could not make it down but she will meet him hopefully soon!
It was a long trip but I am so glad I got to go and be with Dar during this!! This blog might be a little random but I am exhausted and the baby is crying again... so I best close for now!!
Here are a couple pictures from the trip.

Off to Lubbock
Dear friends
Colton and I will be leaving tomorrow (Thursday) to go be with Darla as she goes through a complete ACL replacement surgery. She is very nervous, so please keep her in your thoughts on Friday.
Jett turns 29 *YIKES* on Friday. I am sad we will not be here for his birthday, but he is very understanding. Kelli is going to make him supper and Krista will bake him some cupcakes:)
I will post some Lubbock pictures when I can!
Love,
Shauna

Trip to Corpus
Dear all,
We had a great trip to Corpus this past weekend. Colton did wonderful in the carseat for 7 1/2 hours down there, he slept the whole time!! We got in LATE Friday night. On Saturday, we got up and went to Sammi's basketball game, which they WON :)
On Sunday, Aunt Mae, Martha and Daniel came from the Valley to meet Colton and to see WaWa. It was a great visit. Dwayne, Staci, Veda and Big D came over also.
We also painted Kelsey's room!! Whew, painting always takes so long. But, it turned out so cute!! And, we had fun!!
We had breakfast early on Monday and then made the trip back home.
It was so good to be around family. I am looking forward to the day that we can spend time with ALL our family without a long trip. We miss the family in Lubbock and New Mexico, Austin and Corpus. . . it is so hard being so far away from everyone. Hopefully one day soon, we can get a little closer!!
Here are some pictures:
1. Daddy gives Colton some kisses
2. Martha loves on Colton
3. MeMaw trying to get a nice burp (notice his face ha ha ha)
4. Colton loves PawPaw's beard
5. Sammi and Colton
