I've gotta get better at posting! :)

I'm horrible at this blogging thing. It just seems that life just FLIES by! How crazy these days are! Christian is now 9 weeks old! He had his first set of shots yesterday at his 2 month pediatric appt. So Sad! I had to look away so I didn't cry! He, however, did wonderfully! He cried a bit when they put the needle in, but quieted right down when I picked him up to cuddle with him. After that, he slept like a champ in his carseat for 3 more hours! :)

In other news, Christian has officially slept through the night for two nights in a row now! 11:30pm-6:30am!! YAY for sleep! Hopefully he keeps it up! Although, truth be told, I am wondering if he's only doing it because Nana is visiting and staying in his room with him. :) We'll see if the trend continues...

Pray for us, if you think of it! I have a terrible cold, and Christian seems to be getting it, too, poor kid! :(

Here's a few pics to enjoy:

Slideshow time!

Just sharing some fun shots of our little man! I can't get over what a cutie he is!

Conversations with my son

I've decided there aren't many things better than the "conversations" your children try to have with you before the real verbal ability begins. The coos and giggles, and spontaneous smiles and gurgles are the most pleasant sound any parent can hear! I know that there will be days in the future when Christian is babbling on at about 100 mph, and I'll laugh to myself and wish that I could find a moment of silence... but I won't want to trade those moments for anything! So, for now, I'll enjoy our conversations of noises and funny facial expressions until the day he can tell me his deepest darkest secrets in the highest prose possible! :) Here's a snippet to enjoy:

Tired, but loving life!

So, I don't actually write very much on here... I figured I'd put down a few thoughts for the day.

1. I had no idea how much becoming a parent would change life!

2. Sleep is a privilege that is greatly appreciated when it happens!

3. Bathroom breaks are also few and far between! :)

4. Little bodies sure do go through a lot of diapers!

5. Little noses, toes, eyelashes... everything is cute!

6. I didn't know it was possible to love my husband any more, but I love him even more now that he's a daddy to my beautiful son!

7. This time will fly by, I'm sure... so I'll treasure every moment, even the sleepness nights.

More Pictures!

Here's some shots from the photo shoot I did! :)

Christian Daniel is here!

Sorry for the delay! Christian Daniel arrived December 19th, 2007 at 8:17am, weighing 7 pounds, 8 oz, and measuring 19 inches long! He's so beautiful, and we couldn't be any happier! Our faces hurt from grinning so much!

Week 38 Baby Updates!

Only 9 days to go to c-section time!! We're very excited!!

Your baby probably weighs just over 7 pounds (3250g) by now and measures about 14.4 inches (36cm) from crown to rump and has a total length of about 21.5 inches (48cm).

Your baby's lungs are the last part to develop before birth. Once the lungs are developed, your baby is ready for life outside the womb.

By now your baby has almost run out of space to move in your uterus.

Your baby has shed most of his lanugo, though he may still have some on his shoulders and in the creases of his body.

His toenails reach the end of his toes.

The umbilical cord, which still is supplying your baby with nutrition as he gains more weight, may be knotted or wrapped around him.

Some of your antibodies have crossed the placental barrier and give your baby's immune system a boost to get him started until his is fully functioning.

Your baby could be born any day now!
