our year, as told in our Christmas letter:
The year 2004 has been the most eventful year for our family to date. We have had emotional ups and downs galore.

this post will be a mish-mesh of different things. so plan on some babble. (hey, it’s what i advertise, isn’t it??)

jeremiah is still not feeling the best. took him to the dr yesterday and she confirmed that he has a virus. not much you can do about it. we’re keeping him hydrated and giving him extra love. he sure is ultra-sensitive and extra-tired (tho he doesn’t want to sleep, he wants to be grumpy).

first, little man is still not feeling his best, so keep him in your prayers. if he’s not better by tomorrow i will be calling his dr.
jerry is finished with the gallery! you can click here to see it. and it’s all in working order, so you can leave comments and rate each individual photo if you’d like. the un and pw are the same as the photo albums.
God bless and let me know what you think!

3. a musical artist, song, or album.

B) Ask me three questions. Ask me anything you want.

C) Now go to your blog (if you have one), copy and paste this, and allow everyone to ask you the same.

jeremiah ended up feeling ok for the Christmas celebration at my folks’. tho by the time we got to opening presents he was pretty tired and not very interested in doing it. LOL. but oh well!!
merry Christmas everyone, and happy birthday to Jesus!
this morning jeremiah got up earlier than we’d like, and was still tired, so we got him back to sleep. he slept in between the two of us in bed. when i finally got up to go to the bathroom again and looked at the time, it was 10:30! so he still hasn’t seen his gifts yet! we decided not to wrap them, since last night he didn’t even try to unwrap any. i just stuck them under the tree…
also wanted to let you know i started up a new expectnet game! the game name is baby-bean.
well, gonna take little man downstairs to see what surprises await!!!
God bless, and may your day be wonderful! never forget what the day is all about!!

jeremiah started vomiting last night (before 2 am because he woke me up screaming at 2 am). it was all over his bed and him - stinky, horrible smelling stuff. i got him out, put him in the bath and got clean jammies on him. we stayed up for a few minutes, i gave him some pedialyte and a soda cracker. then we lay down to nurse. as soon as his mouth open he vomited again! anyway, he did it four times, and i had to change both of our clothes each time. this morning, i thought he was better, since he hadn’t done it all night. we nursed and then he vomited the breastmilk (nothing else seemed to be left in his system).
racking my brain, the only thing i can think of is the old milk he found. he found a bottle from the previous night that had some formula still in it and drank a few sips before i caught him. i feel like such a horrible mama for this! why didn’t i just take it downstairs so he couldn’t find it?!!?
but how long should it last in his system, for him to continue to vomit??
his dr office is of course closed. there’s an emergency number but i don’t think this constitutes and emergency. do you?
just looked up different things and am going to try to keep him hydrated. he’s pretty miserable - poor baby. and we are going to my parents’ to celebrate Christmas today too. like he’ll have fun. sigh.
please pray for him.

i love white Christmases, but i hate it when i still need to finish up shopping and get snowed in! even if jerry didn’t have to take the van, i still would not have ventured out today. sigh. tomorrow, when my fam will be celebrating together, some people will be without their gifts, because jenn is such a procrastinator!

do you have any questions for me? if i didn’t mention something you’d like to know, i just probably forgot to.
thia asked, “how did you tell jerry?” well, this one is easy. he was home when i took the first test. the faint line was still pretty clear to me - i was pregnant. but i was still nervous about it - i’ve heard of false positives before, tho they’re very rare.

my dear friend lost her baby. i am devestated for her and now so scared for my own baby. she was only a week or so farther along than me. please pray for her as i can’t imagine the pain she’s feeling. i love you julie.
as for me…
