Doting grandparents

Conrad is so blessed to have a set of grandparents so close! Grandma and Grandpa visit on a regular basis and Conrad LOVES all the attention he is showered with when they are here. They are so great about letting Barry and I get away and catch a movie, dinner or just get some errands or grocery shopping done.

He definitely has his Grandpa wrapped around his finger. I think those two will be best buddies and go on all sorts of adventures together.

Despite getting a flu shot when I was preggers, I got the flu. Please note, I have NEVER gotten a flu shot and NEVER gotten the flu... so like any paranoid new mom-to-be, I got the flu shot as soon as possible. I mean, as my OB said, "I can't think of anything worse than having the flew and having a newborn." Yeah, I couldn't agree more. Anyway, getting to my point!

At that time, Conrad was in daycare downtown near my work--- almost 30 miles away. There was no way I could get Conrad to daycare on my own and Barry had to be at work WAY before daycare opened and watching Conrad the entire day--- no way!! I called Grandpa and he immediately agreed to come up that night and watch Conrad the next day.

He was amazing with Conrad. I handed him over that morning (with a huge diaper full of pee) and didn't hear a peep the rest of the day. Granted, I wasn't completely with the program, but I never heard even a wimper but heard plenty of laughs and giggles. I am so thankful Grandpa came up to watch Conrad for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter!!

and, I won't be getting a flu shot next year!
