Jon & Kate Plus 8 Fans

Kate is coming to Pleasant Hill!! She will be at the Borders book signing Friday, April 17th. So exciting....The parking lot to the Borders is so full as it is on a regular weekday, I can't imagine what it's gonna be like on a signing day....but hey they probably have signings all the time. I was just excited that something was happening in our little town.

Take care and have a Happy Easter!

exhaustion

It has been a week since all the hoopla over the baby blessing and I am still recouping from three days of family and not much sleep. I have been napping all week long. Staying in my pj's and just plain taking it easy. I've left the cooking responsibilities to the other adults in the house and pretty much have taken a back seat to the other responsibilities that I've had.

I have felt tense these past few days... my feet are achy and wondering when and where i've gotten these bug bites. I also have the feeling like i've forgotten something really important. Cant figure out what......so hopefully nothing too important.

Blessed Day!

Family picture: right after blessing. Max's family was at the Hotel and this was a small window of opportunity so this is what we have.

Our little dude was blessed on Sunday and it was a happy day. Dad did a great job. We are very glad to have the family and friends able to come visit with us on this special day.

Mom and Litte dude.

Aunt Sandy's Visit

WAaaaaahhhhh AAAAAaaaaaaaaahhhhggggggggghhhhhh !!!!! here maybee this bottle aunt Cathy & Uncle Jamey sent will shut him up! dad & mama sure enjoyed it!

Such a sweet boy .......all better; )

Like Father, like son. My babies so sweet

Aunt sandy is here yaaay! she talks to me, changes me, burpes me, feeds me, cuddles me, loves, me. we had a few fun days together, while mama rested and got some errands/projects done..... we think she overdid it cuz now she is moving slower that she was yesterday.

Aunt sandy is also talking to me about my job in life as a baby, to poop, eat and sleep. Then giving me the itinerary for the day. At the end of the day it was okay cus the first rule was I'm the baby so whatever I want I get.....pretty much!

Changes

We've experienced some "Changes" ...Mostly in Diapers, Sleep, Feeding Time, and, computer time.

Diapers: he went from 1 poopy in a 24 hour period to 4 in 2 hours. And yes the sound that could carry to the next room has definetly been a shock for new parents. The first real wattery blow up mike was leaving to pick up dinner and handed JC to me. Thanks! I was so blown away that I could see the color from the outside mike had to come back quick to take a look. I would have laughed harder but it still hurts to laugh.

Sleep: DEPRIVED - We are so exhausted by morning. In the evening we are relaxed. We love watching him sleep, the silly things he does with his lips and eyebrows.

Feeding Time: Every three hours.....Okay simple enough. But then he takes an hour to feed and burp that only leaves 2 hours to do whatever. aaarrrgh

Computer Time: Mike has been working from home and on the computer constantly. So my time to play is while he is sleeping.... ha haa!

Baby Boy

He is finally here. Born at 9:45pm

Weighs 7lb 7oz and 20in long.

Thank you all for your love and support.

We both are very excited for our new little bundle of joy.

Last Picture in Utero

Dr. Appt on Tuesday, Dr. was thinking 'lil dude' is a good 7lbs....somthin somthin oz. She is worried about 'lil dude's" size and my size were not a good combination for natural birthing. So to confirm her fears she sent me to get an ultra sound to measure and check other needed info. He had a normal size head, about 7lbs. 12 oz. Cutting it pretty close to the 8lb. mark. He could grow that fast if we wait till due date..........so............... After much discussing and contemplating we are going to hurry things along. We go in Thursday evening to get things rolling.

Today we spent the day getting the last minute things done and ready. Also enjoyed dim sum together, took a nap...laundry, cleaning up the yard before the rain comes again.

We'll see you on the other side.
