Curious minds want to know: what happened at the docs?

Why what good timing you have! We just got back and we have all the stats you could want and more! Height: 22 inches = 55-60th % (born 20.5 inches) Weight: 9 lbs 4 oz = 25th % (born 7 lbs 7 oz) Head size: 38 1/2 cm = 55th % (born with head) So […]

What you’ve been waiting for: Week 4 review

Aha – So we have made it to and now partially into week 4… and the crowd goes wild (well, in my head they do, and that’s good enough for me.) It’s been an exciting week — Jackson is bigger every day, seems to be acquiring new skills AND Jackson had visits from both sets […]

3 week update

So today is the 3 week anniversary of bringing home our little bundle of joy/spit up demon – both are accurate nicknames, it just depends on what mood the boy is in.  Every day is an adventure- we have good days where he naps a lot and is a good mood and looks at books […]

14 days in and still ticking!

So, today is Jackson’s 2 week anniversary! I realize the phrase “2 week anniversary” makes me sound like an over-excited teenager with a new boyfriend “like oh my God, I know he loves me because today is our TWO WEEK anniversary,” but hey, I’m an over-excited, over-tired and overwhelmed new mom, so back to puberty […]

8 successful days and counting..

Well we’ve made it past 1 week and I’m calling it a massive success. I’m not saying that Mike or I look good at the moment – unless you have a penchant for people with bags under their eyes who can’t make coherent sentences, and hey, who am I to judge if you do – […]

New baby first doc visit 100% successful

Jackson had his new baby first visit to the doctors today. Sadly he was late for his first visit. I’d like to say it was his fault — some sort of diaper breach or mass hysteria or hiding under the couch so we couldn’t find him or something — but no, it was the total […]

Jackson is in the house

We brought Jackson home from the hospital last nite!!! We had brilliant plans of writing amusing and witty text to accompany the super cool logo my brother Jason made for Jackson in preparation for his birth, but then that was before we had to get up and feed a small person every 3 hours and […]

Solid State change scheduled today…

eeeek! Well I think that sums it up pretty well. I was really hoping that Graglo was going to be a good baby and listen to me and come out on Saturday as we had previously discussed but no such luck. Well I had discussed and I’d figured Graglo had been listening, but I suppose […]

Last fancy meal out sans free ranging offspring

It’s true. Ah how things will change. One of which should be a smaller belly for me- ah the ability to tie my own shoes again. FREEDOM!!!! 🙂

Graglo given final eviction notice!!!

So we just got back from what in theory is my last OB visit (woohoo – no more thousands of hours sitting in that boring place chock full of knocked up ladies!) Graglo is doing well – the non-stress test showed everything is fine and my blood pressure and numbers all look fine too. I […]
