Busy Being Blessed

We’re Still Around!

happy birthday to my beloved! jerry turned 35 today!!!!! i made him a german chocolate cake in a teddy bear pan. lol. we won’t be enjoying it until tomorrow at mom’s tho.

i don’t know if i’ve mentioned this, but jerry and i are taking a financial planning class at our church on sunday evenings. so far we have learned a lot! it’s the financial peace university class, by dave ramsey. it’s very stretching stuff, but also invaluable to us!!!

speaking of money – can anyone with a paid flickr account tell me if it’s worth it? i was going to purchase the year subscription tonight, but backed out when i saw i couldn’t use paypal. i have some money in paypal that is “mine” i could have used, but we don’t have money in our bank account for something like that.

jamin is getting chubbier! and he is sooo sweet. he is starting to show that he can see more, and he has been smiling more! his smile is so beautiful. i wish i could catch it on camera. i know i will eventually lol.

yesterday, mom, the boys and i went to conner prairie because it was free museum day, sponsored by the smithsonian institute. the boys had lots of fun. josiah was so filthy when we were done! he is for sure “all boy”!!!!

oh i finally got jamin’s birth announcement made:


that’s it for now all! love you!

Jamin :: 6 Weeks Old!

i for one cannot believe my sweet little star is 6 weeks old. how can this be??

at our wic appointment on monday, he was 8lbs 1 1/2oz and 21in long. she said she never gets the same length as peds do, so i’ll assume he’s at least a bit longer than that! she is pleased with how much he gained since his 4 week weight w/ the lactation consultant.

jamin is doing much better with not needing me to nurse him ALL.THE.TIME now. i have a groove going with the supplements, and he is doing great. i am also pumping which is nice – thanks amanda for the pump!!

jamin is so sweet and so adorable. he isn’t focusing on us as well as i’d like him to. and he doesn’t smile very often. his smile is SOOO sweet tho.

once again i don’t have a ton of time to post…i promise, sweet jamin, i will post a lot soon! i love you so much little baby boy!!

but here are some pics of him, taken today, for all of you who keep begging me. :P

and yes, precious boy has some baby acne right now. :(

Jamin :: 1 Month Old

i can’t believe it’s been a month…

i don’t have time to write a whole post out, i just wanted to say happy 1 month birthday baby boy!!!!

also i did get him weighed on friday, and he was 7lbs 6.7oz. the lactation consultant was a bit upset that he hadn’t gained a pound yet…so i’m working on getting his weight up. please pray for us!

later!

Jamin :: 4 Weeks Old!

can you believe my precious munchkin is 4 weeks old today? i sure can’t. he is so precious and wonderful! i love him so much, as we all do!

i can really tell he’s growing now. he just seems bigger to me. i’m still supplementing at least once a day. i’m pumping still, so some of the supplementing is still breastmilk!

when mom comes tomorrow, i plan to take him to the hospital for a weigh-in.

on monday, my sil natalie gave me one of her pocket slings that she made. jamin really loved it then, but i don’t know if i’m putting him in wrong or what, but every time i put him in it and try to wear him, he hates it!!! i still keep trying tho, because he really loves being held.

overheard: jeremiah and josiah were in the playroom, and i was nursing in the family room. jeremiah: ant, this is the boys’ playroom, ant. you’re not allowed in here. (silence) i see you’re not listening to me.

LOL! i was telling jerry that he’d said that, and jeremiah interjected, “that was buzz lightyear”. AH that makes more sense. lol

well munchkin needs me, so i’ll wrap this up by saying i am doing a LOT better now that i’m taking my med consistently!! i’m still not “normal” but i’m doing so much better…thanks for your prayers – please continue!!!!
