We spent all morning at the doctor's today getting Will's 2 month well child check-up (including shots, ugh!). First off, Will really is huge! He weighed 14 lbs. 14 oz., which means he has been gaining at a rate of about 11 oz. a week. He

OK, here is a cute picture that I just had to share: By the way, Elise and I started doing preschool again on Monday. She is really enjoying it. Her favorite subject is crafts, her most challenging is writing her numbers. Here is something we did together for craft time.

Well, Will slept through the night Sunday night. Although that requires some definition. (I remember when I was a new mom how upset and surprised I was to find out that "sleeping through the night" could be as little as six hours!) Will was fussy until midnight, but

Elise began dance lessons today. She is in the preschool jazz and tap class at Rythm & Shoes in Tontitown. Here she is in her ballet shoes for jazz. She told me after the class that it was a lot of fun. When I asked which was her favorite part,

It is amazing that it has almost been two weeks since Will was born. I am still amazed at how quickly life can change. I am doing wonderfully with emotional issues right now. The anti-depressants seem to be doing their job and I am coping well each day and night.

Will is one week old today. We took him in for his first check-up. He now weighs 9 lbs. 0.5 oz. (so 1 1/2 oz. over his birthweight). He measured 21 in. long, but I'm sure that is just a difference in measuring styles, as he

Sorry it has taken me so long to update. Today has been a hectic day. We took Will outside on the porch this morning for some "sunbathing" before we headed to the clinic for the bilirubin test. We didn't get a phone call until later that

Well, I was disappointed today that I seemed to have a worse day than yesterday. It wasn't a terrible day, it was just that my nervousness was around most of the day. I think hopefully I am hitting some sort of hump that I need to get over
