A+

Tim earns an A+ (++++) for being an awesome dad (and husband).
1.)Doctor's appointment: Yesterday was Ryan's 2 month doctor's appointment. I was called in to work short notice for half a day (my first day was supposed to be Sept. 13th). So Tim had to take the morning off and take Ryan to his doctor's appointment...which at 2 months means the first round of immunizations!!! I have to admit I wasn't too sad about not being there to see Ryan get his shots. I think it would have broke my heart!
2.)Taking a temperature: So yesterday afternoon Ryan had a little fever which I checked each time I changed his diaper. It continued to increase all afternoon but did not reach a temperature that was considered too high. Last night when Tim got home from work he was changing Ryan's diaper so I asked him to check his temp and without any resistance he did it. I know taking a temperature doesn't sound like a big deal but considering it was with the rectal thermometer I thought for sure Tim want to do it.
3.) Projectile vomit: There isn't much that makes Tim flinch when it comes to dealing with all the fun things that happen when having a baby. It might be because he was 14 when his little brother, Mike, came along. Earlier in the week we were in the kitchen I was handing Ryan to Tim when out of no where Ryan started throwing up. I have heard people talk about projectile vomit but until you experience it yourself it's something I would not believe could happen! It was like someone turned on a garden hose...how could a small baby produce so much, so forcefully?!?! I freaked out a little but it didn't phase Tim. He said it would happen all the time when his brother was a baby.
4.) Daycare drop off: Because the daycare is so close to Tim's work and my schedule is 6am to 2:30pm and Tim works 6am to ??, Tim will be dropping Ryan off at daycare in the morning and I'll get be pick him up when I get off work at 2:30. I hope this makes going back to work!

    sounds like you've got a good husband. can you believe some dads won't change a diaper? ex. my father in law. good ones are hard to come by.
