Ugh. WHY do I wait so long between posts? Well, I know, it’s because there’s no shortage of other things to get done. But now it’s going to be another super long post! It’s amazing how much can happen in three weeks and how hard it can be to remember things that happened less than… Continue reading Family Update, Sam at 16 Weeks Old, Goodbye Summer!
Some of this will be repeated from other blog posts, but I want to write a post dedicated to Sam’s pyloric stenosis in case anyone else out there finds it helpful. Ultimately, it was reading other people’s real experiences that convinced me that our baby Sam might have it, in spite of his not fitting… Continue reading Our Experience with Pyloric Stenosis
Just some quick notes on what we’ve been up to since my last post! We went to the Clark County Fair with a childhood friend of mine and her two-year-old daughter. She and I rode horses together and used to do 4-H activities at our county fair and now we got to see our kids… Continue reading Family Update, Sam at 10 Weeks Old
When I’m doing photos or blogging now, I’m often wearing Sam in the wrap, because he is now taking after his older brother and not sleeping unless he’s being held. Here’s a photo I took while working on the computer with him: The weekend after Sam’s vomiting started and I got mastitis, A.’s brother and… Continue reading Family Update, Sam at 2 Months Old
Yikes, there’s been a lot going on since my last post! You know how I was amazed by how easy it was to be home with just the baby? Well, I spoke too soon. Things got hard! And then they got easier again, but still hard. I’m not going to be able to tell the… Continue reading Family Update, Sam at 1 Month Old
Ari turned 3 a week and a half after Sam was born. He’d been saying he wanted to invite all his friends from school to a birthday party, but I couldn’t handle hosting a big party at that time! Fortunately, when the time came he didn’t seem to mind. Shortly before the big day, he… Continue reading Ari, 3 Years Old!
My parents were here at the beginning of the week to help with my first days home with both kids with A. back at work. It was great having them keeping Ari occupied and holding Sam when I needed my hands free. They got up with Ari in the morning so that A. and I… Continue reading Sam, Week 3
Sam’s second week, A. stayed home on Monday but that evening he had to go to a neighborhood meeting. I walked with him, wearing Sam in the wrap and pushing Ari in a stroller, for a vote that was happening at the beginning of the meeting, then the three of us went home without A.,… Continue reading Sam, Week 2, and Furniture Rearrangement
Our baby has arrived! Obviously, that’s why I’ve been MIA from here for the past few weeks. I will tell you all about him, but first, let me catch up from the beginning of June! June 4th and 5th was a HOT weekend, with temperatures in the high 90s! I was thinking it would be… Continue reading Welcome, Sam! Birth Story and the First Week
Boy! It’s a boy! We had the big ultrasound and everything looks good. Ari is not terribly interested in talking about having a little brother or a baby, but he does think my “biiiig tummy” is “funny” and he asks to “open it” and take the baby out. We were expecting a boy based on… Continue reading December, Christmas, and January So Far! Ari Turns 2 and 1/2 and I Am 19 Weeks Pregnant With A…
