Gretchens DRs appt

Well today was the day.... Gretchens' shots... I got in early cause i wanted to make sure that if anything happend as in her having a reaction to them the drs would be open still or at least it wounldnt be midnight... So we went in at 9am, and i found that my scale here at home is 2 pounds off... Yeah for me not so great for david.. LOL... Anyway they weighed her she weighed 10pounds 14 ozs and 23 1/2 inches long... Her head i believe was 39cm i am not 100% sure but almost.. They gave me a graph to show normal and below normal and she was above normal on everything so the DR was very happy with that... She was also very happy with her head control. She said everything was great with her... I told her of Macys' problems and she said she would note the chart and we would watch it but so far everything looks wonderfull and that if she had a spine problem from birth an ultrasound would have shown it..So yeah for that and her feet look normal too..So she left and the nurse came in and her name... You will never guess what it is... Well maybe you will its christy and weather its spelt like that or kristy i have no idea but i could have sworn i heard the lady at the front call her crystal so i dont know... Anyway she came in and to do shots she got the stuff in her mouth which she wasnt to fond of... She kept spitting it out but she told me that we really just want to coat the inside of her mouth... Then she got 1 shot in the left leg which she got upset for like a nano second and then she was fine.. Then she got 2 in her right she was not happy about that at all, she cried it was heartbreaking but i didnt cry or even get tears in my eyes... I am very proud!!!  as soon as she was done i gave her the paci and she stoped crying and i held her for a few mins just to make sure we were ok and then we left she slept till we got home and i put her in her swing and she was fine...We then had to go across town which took us 45mins and she slept all the way there and was good till we got back home and then at 130 she was not happy she was screaming a scream i had never heard before and was not calming down no bottle no paci nothing... so i finally got some tylenol in her and that seem to do the trick fairly fast... THANK GOD!!! and she slept till about 630-700pm now she is smiling laughing and moving all around... I gave her some more tylenol  cause she is running a little bit of a fever 100.5 but the nurse said that the shots could cause a fever of 102.00... I am trying to pack gretchens stuff and i am about ready to just put everything she owns in there and say ok she is done... The weather seems to change daily on min it says its going to be in the 80's and next it says in the 70's so i dont know...
Crystal~ its funny you mention other places besides OK or AR... I was actually looking at places in texas and in MO... I would love to live in Texas or MO or even in Northren AR.. I really dont want to live in Fort Smith... I am afriad that david may fall into old ways as far as drinking if we lived in fort smith... But i keep getting drawn back to OK due to the benifits i will get because i am cherokee, plus the help that gretchen would get if she wanted to go to collage... I am looking into seeing if the cherokee nation will help me build a house or put a trailer home on the 10 acres we own in between brushy and sallisaw...it would be a 45 min drive to fort smith for david cause i am sure he would work of overhead there in ft smith but it would be no different then the drive that he would have if we lived up by my dad and he had to drive to tulsa... and 45 mins for us is not that much... well i guess thats about all i have for now...
