Birth control, shots, and School

Welp, I did it! Im in the clear for at least 5 years!!! This past friday I got it put in. I know alot of people are against birth control but for me, I don't really like worrying all the time if I'm pregnant or not. Although I am happy with the outcome, surprises make for stressful pregnancies. I realized that I am really no good with taking the pill. I can never remember to do it even if I set an alarm or something. So with mirena I dont have to worry...EVER! It was very quick and painless. I had heard some horror stories so by the time I got to the dr office I was shaking, literally. But, it went really quick and the next thing I knew I was on my way out. (: So needless to say I am pretty darn excited! Mike I want to have a ton of kids just not right now. 


Our friends Patrick and Julia had us over for a swimming/dinner get together on Saturday.  So we put Adelaide in her swimsuit and sunglasses and headed for the pool!!! (: We quickly found out that they don't make swimmers diapers in her size. You have to be at least 16lbs. BOO!!! So she couldnt really get in the water with us. We dipped her little feet and legs in the warm baby pool and she seemed to be okay with it.


We did family pictures after church this past Sunday. We had some friends who have a family photography business that did them for us. I am so excited to see them! We have to wait about a week to get them but I am really excited! I hope they turn out good because it was 90 degrees and like 80% humidity when we did them. So we were all sweating like crazy and gnats kept getting in our eyes and stuff. Adelaide for some reason didn't like doing pictures at all. I felt like most of the time we spent calming her down to get like one shot of us. It was tough but I think we got at least 20 good ones. I will definitely post them when we get them!
Yesterday I had to take Adelaide to the doctor. It was her 2 month checkup. The dreaded dr appointment where she gets her shots! It was crazy! I had to feed her right before the appointment which was at 10 15. So I ended up being 15 minutes late! Then it was super busy there but thankfully they got me in right away. They weighed her, measured her and checked her lungs, ears, blah blah blah. Well Adelaide has been scratching her face a ton lately so I asked the doctor about that and she said that Adelaide has eczema. :( She said its just really dry and that it bothers her because it's itchy. She has it on her face, behind her ears, and on her chest. So I had to switch shampoo and lotion and got a prescription for her. I was using Johnson's shampoo and lotion which is only like 3 bucks with my Kroger card, BUT I had to buy Aveeno. And that was 5-6 bucks with my Kroger card! It's ridiculous how much baby stuff can be! Thankfully insurance covered Adelaide's prescription because that was almost $50! So after she told me that I felt terrible because this whole time I thought she had allergies. Well, then it came time for her shots! And she has had a couple before but it wasn't terrible. I could calm her down pretty easily after it happened. Well she had two shots, one in each leg. And I have never seen her cry like that before. It absolutely broke my heart! Her face went all red, and she didn't even make a noise because she was crying so hard. I was holding her hands and trying to comfort her and she just was so mad and hurt. And me being such a bawl baby started crying with her! I felt so helpless and I knew it hurt her. It was awful. Well then she had to do the second one and the guy did it as soon as I got her calmed down from the first one. So I had to calm her down again which took alot longer. It was absolutely awful. I think next time Mike should take her to get her shots. So about 10 minutes later I finally got her calmed down but she was just so sad the rest of the day. She was really sensitive. If I looked at her wrong she would start to fuss. :(  I hate shots!!!! Needless to say she was pretty sleepy the rest of the day. 
This weekend Michael is leaving for two whole weeks! He has annual training for the Marine Corp on Saturday and it's all the way in California! :( So he is going to be gone on the 4th. What am I gonna do?! We haven't been apart for a holiday before!  So he leaves early early saturday morning and then comes back on the 13th of July. I feel really bad for him because where he is going it isnt supposed to go below 100 degrees the whole time he is there. Poor thing. "MARINE COR!!!!"
Michael finally got to register for classes for BYU-Idaho!!! YAY!!!! This whole moving thing is finally feeling real! We are both so ready and very excited to move out there! I miss Idaho so much!
