Finally, a sigh of relief. Ethan is finally asleep. They say babies sleep 15-20 hours a day. Not ours! He's up all day long and half the night. Ethan is so spoiled. He loves to be held. He will cry all day long if…
The fat burning soup diet didn't work very well. I stayed with it for a week and didn't lose anything. Now that I am off of it, I have lost about 2 pounds this week. I have been eating those low fat freezer meals. Mi…
Ethan is doing better. I have no idea what his problem was. He seems to be eating normal again. He's still eating 5 ounces, but now he's eating every four hours instead of every hour/half to 2 hours. He's sleeping be…
Tonight we are getting the much-needed break we deserve. My hubby and I are going out to a nice quite dinner alone. I can't wait to drink down a margarita!
Ethan has been a little fussy lately. The first week he wa…

Height: 21 inches
Head circumference: 36 cm.

Tomorrow is Ethan's two week appointment. Thank goodness, because I have a zillion questions, which reminds me, I need to go write them all down.
Little Ethan seems to be a bit stuffy. I'm trying a humidifier - seems to be working. This may be me being paranoid, but I checked his temp - under the arm. It read 98.2, which I guess makes 99.2 because you have to ad…
Ethan's cord fell off today. I have no idea where it went. I don't want to know. That thing was gross. Newborn babies are quite a joy, but at the same time, pretty gross. His skin is still flaky. I can't wait until…
I read an article in a baby magazine that said marriages suffer after the birth of a baby. Boy, is that ever true. There is just not enough time anymore. I am so busy feeding, changing, making bottles up, and washing …
Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift.
God creates so many of the world's most wondrous things,
like silver streams and sunlit beams and butterflies' soft wings.
And as He's busy making all the blessings for the earth,
He pours a trace of heaven's grace i…
My husband got up with Ethan last night, which is much appreciated because the lack of sleep was finally catching up with me. I got good rest last night from 9:30 until 5:00 this morning.
Ethan loves the kick and pla…
Everything seems to be going well. Ethan's skin is flaking off and his hair is falling out. I guess this is normal. Today, he cried for the longest time while he waited on Daddy to fix his bottle. He hardly ever crie…
April 23rd I went in for my appointment. My doctor said I was ready because my fluid was low, so I was induced. I went in about 2 pm and they started me on pitocin at like 3:30. My contractions started immediately. I…
