1 Month!

Can you Believe it?

My little lady is already 1 month old!

And as you can see, she really likes to eat. She has already gained 2 lbs since she was born. I feel like all I do is feed this little girl. We are so pleased with how well she is doing and the special spirit she has already added to our home. It is so fun to see Parker interact with her, he really does love her. Just yesterday he started giving kisses on command (which is adorable by the way!) and his favorite person to give them to is Em. He will rarely give them to me when I ask, but he ALWAYS gives them to Em. He is such a good big brother! Anytime she cries he says "baby" and points to her or goes to her. If I dont quickly follow he runs back to me and says "baby" again and then runs to her again. He also tries to giver her the binkie which is sweet, but he cant quite get it right yet but we always thank him for being such a nice big brother.

Here are some things about Em:
  • She still makes an awesome Popeye face, unfortunately I can never get it on camera.
  • She snorts
  • She sometimes goes cross-eyed
  • She LOVES tummy time and is already getting so strong!
  • She eats like a champ and spits up like a monster :(
  • She loves to be held
  • She loves to be in the moby wrap
  • She loves to be outside
  • She can already track objects with her eyes and head
  • She loves to watch her big brother play.
  • She randomly smiles all the time but never when we try to get her to smile
  • She chuckles in her sleep with little shoulder shrugs and all, it is adorable!
  • She eats every 2 hours and at night she sometimes can go for 6 hours and her mommy REALLY appreciates when that happens!
  • She is a bit fussier than her big brother was, but overall she is a good baby.
She was diagnosed last week with Infant Acid Reflux which is sad. You can just tell she is in so much pain and I hate that there is nothing I can do for her. They gave her some medicine which has helped a little, but not a ton so I guess this is something we will just have to deal with. The doctor said it usually gets a little better at about 3 months but usually last a whole year.

She is wonderful and we love her to peices! We are so excited she has joined our family and look forward to watching her grow. Here are a couple more pics.

There's a couple of different medicines for Acid Reflux. Only one worked for Angela. of course itw as the most expensive one not covered by the insurance but it made a huge difference. Also with Reflux medicines it takes at least one to two weeks of using it consistantly for it to actually start makinga difference.

She's sure a cutie!

Rebecca! It's been a while since I came to your blog and I just can't believe how big your little Em is! So cute! I can't wait to hold her! When do you guys get here? I know I've asked you like a hundred times but I can't remember- does mom brain get worse after the next kid? If so, I'm dead meat! Anyways, can't wait to see you guys! Oh, and I read your post about the 25,000 dollars!! That is amazing! Austin and I calculated (haha our husbands are the same!!) how much money we have washed down the toilet since we lived here paying rent and it is REALLY not good! Idk what to do though...buying a house is just not the plan right now. Oh well =) Let me know how I can help when you get here! hugs, em (sorry for some reason I am signed in as my husband- sorry)

The Light of the World

By
I was asked to give a talk yesterday in church.  Kinda daunting knowing it was Christmas Sunday, but I think it went pretty well.  I like remembering my talk so I'm throwing it up here mainly for my own record.  But maybe it will bless the lives of others too.  I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the Light of Christ will be upon you and radiate from you now and forever. Jesus Christ: The Light of the World Rebecca’s talk given on 12/20/2015 Jesus Christ.  Can a topic be any broader? I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 weeks trying to decide what direction I wanted to go and I kept going back to the same thought, Jesus is the light of the world.  This is not an insignificant statement, but very profound and very important.  Let’s start from the beginning. Many Prophets have testified of the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world long before the Savior was even born.  The very first sign of his bir...

Because God Love's Us

  How is Christ’s Birth Significant to me Talk on 12/20/2020 Good Morning Brothers and Sisters & Merry Christmas!   Heavenly Father must know my preferred method for giving a talk is procrastinating because I have been called to fill in last minute on many occasions.   However, this is the first time it’s happened on Christmas Sunday.   But I am happy to be here with you and I’m so grateful for technology that allows us to meet and worship together, especially during this Christmas season.   I’m not gonna lie, this is weird speaking on zoom.   I much prefer being together and making eye contact with you and seeing your encouraging smiles.   So please bear with any awkwardness I may have.   When initially asked to speak, Brother Smith gave me the topic of “How Christ’s birth is significant to me.”   My initial response was, could that topic be any broader?   But then gratefully he followed it up with “Particularly from the prosp...

Kid's Talks

By
  Riley’s Primary Talk on Baptism 3/15/20 Today I want to talk on Baptism.   Being baptized is a commandment from Heavenly Father.   We have to be baptized to make it back to Him.   Even Jesus Christ was baptized.   If Jesus Christ was baptized we should be baptized too.   When we turn 8 years old we can choose to follow Jesus Christ’s example and be baptized too.   When we are baptized and confirmed we become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.     If you have already been baptized, you should remember the covenants, or promises you made.   If you have not been baptized, you should study and pray and keep the commandments so that when you turn 8 years old you will be ready. We should all remember how important baptism is.   I am really excited I get to be baptized next year.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Faith Parker’s Talk   2/16/20   Today, my talk is going to be about f...
