3 Weeks Already!

I honestly cant believe that it has been 3 full weeks! Time flies! Things have been going really well. It helps that he is a perfect baby and hardly ever cries. However when he does cry, this is how I feel:



Everyone said it would all come so naturally, and for the most part it really has. I have yet to learn to distinguish between his cries. I'm hoping this "Mother's Intuition" will kick in soon because it makes me so sad when he does cry.

As for an update, Parker is doing great! We had a follow up appointment today because at his two week check up he was still a pound under his birth weight. But today he had gained 7 oz in one week! I'm so relieved!

We haven't taken as many pictures as i'm sure the family would like, but here is Parker after a bath. I love these hooded towels, so cute!

Yay! I'm glad he's gaining weight! Now you can maybe let him sleep and not have to wake him up at night, right???

I never could tell the difference between Thad's newborn cries. There was like, bad, worse and worsest. Then again Thad cried pretty much continuously for 4 months so maybe there was no difference. Anywayyyy, my point is, you'll just learn as you get to know his schedule and his needs better why he is crying. Although sometimes it is for no reason at all. This is my advice: bounce from the knees. They can tell the difference.

I never learned to tell apart Jilly's cries. I can tell now when something is a whiney cry or a genuine upset or a hurt cry. But that's about it. And she's 2! So don't stress over that.

I love the little hoodie towels too! Kamryn's too big for hers now... sad! (I'll just have to go find bigger ones! I've seen them before!) :)

And I LOVE the little irish shirt! That is TOO cute! (I haven't been blogging much lately...sorry I'm a little behind on the comments!)

Can't believe he's already 3 weeks! That's just crazy! But he sounds like such an angel and you are doing a great job! Can't wait to see more of him! (too bad you're leaving for the summer :( we'll miss you!)

What to pack . . .

By
So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

Have you noticed?

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

By
So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
