It's probably not surprising to anyone that reads this blog that I am an Obama supporter. Given that, last night was so exciting. Even if McCain had won, I would have been excited for a changing of the guard. But since Obama won, I'm super excited. I'm excited for the changes he can make, the direction we can head as a country, how we can put the Bush administration in the past and move on. I'm excited for our place in the world. Barack Obama is young and relatively untested, but I believe he has an intellectual curiosity we've been missing in the White House. Of course, there are a million things that can go wrong, but today I am optimistic.
And now away from politics.
Yesterday Evelyn had her first round of vaccinations. Poor little baby. She got FOUR shots and an oral vaccine. I've never heard such a sad, angry, painful cry come out of her little body. She cried for about 5 or 10 minutes, and then slept for 12 hours. She only woke a few times for a diaper change and a little food. She also slept normally last night, which was awesome given her entire day of sleeping. This morning she seems to be back to her normal self. It was hard for me to see her getting impaled with needles, but I had to keep reminding myself "it's better than polio...it's better than polio..."
Evie now weighs 11 pounds 5 ounces (up an entire POUND in two weeks), the 60th percentile. Her head circumfrence is in the 55th percentile and her height is in the 50th percentile. So she's pretty much average average average. Except for her winning smile and extraordinary intellect, of course. :)
