After my family left, as much as I missed them, it was nice to be able to get back to the normal life routine. The house was quieter and life slowed down, I will admit that I crashed the night that they left and got a pretty good nights sleep thanks to Titan who was also exhausted from all the attention that he got. The next day, Tuesday, I was able to go back into work with TJ which was nice as well. Working from home is nice and really convenient, but I miss the office and the interaction with people. It was really funny because as soon as our co-workers saw us so many of them came rushing asking where Titan was. Unfortunately to them we had left him home with TJ's mom since our whole point in going was to meet with the HR lady to talk about insurance. We wanted to be able to focus and thought it would be a little more professional to go in alone instead of bringing Titan in his car seat. The whole insurance thing was really frustrating and rather confusing to me. I learned that because I don't ever get 30 hours of work in a week then I would have to be under TJ on the insurance plan which would raise our monthly payment up to almost $800. I don't know about you but for a young couple with a newborn $800 is no where near affordable for us. Other than the price, having TJ on the plan was not our plan either so we had to figure out how to get it so that only Titan and I would be on the plan, which ended up with me committing to 30 hours a week. Now that I am trying to do that, I didn't realize how hard it would be with taking care of our baby. It all worked out in the end and the price was dropped to a much more financially affordable amount.
The Sunday after his baby blessing was Titan's first full Sunday at church and he did really good if I must say so myself :) It was fun to have him and show him off to more people other than the family and the whole congregation from the front of the chapel. That weekend more of TJ's family came to visit as well so it was another crazy weekend of having a lot of family over. But we made it through again :)

Just last week Titan went in for his 2 month doctors appointment, can you believe he is 2 months old already? Time goes by so fast, I understand now why we are always told to enjoy every moment because it goes by faster than you think. I need to get a camera other than my phone so that I can take better quality pictures. I didn't realize what the 2 month appointment included until we were already in the doctors office, I remember feeling so bad! Titan took it like the champ that he is. Of course there was a lot of crying and struggling against the nurses, but who wouldn't? I know that I would, they're sticking 3 needles straight into your thigh! No fun at all. I remember taking off the little band aids and seeing the dried spots of blood, made me so sad too! Knowing that the next appointment at 4 months will include another round of shots makes me not want to take him but it's what I've got to do so I guess we'll both have to tough it up and go in like champs again :)
The crying after his immunization shots
Other than those things not much else has happened. We went back into work one other time and learned that TJ is getting his own office now, awesome! Granted its in the back corner but hey, its better than the cubicle that he was in. Every day is wonderful and different every day as Titan grows more and more. Definitely the joy of ours lives :)
