Rolling thru 3 weeks to 4!

As you can tell, Wy still loves bath time!

Yep, you saw it with your own eyes. My 4 week old baby boy is rolling from his belly to his back. So much for "Tummy time".

because I can't lay down and go to sleep on my own, I have to be held, I learn to hold my passi in!

3 weeks

I am sorry, I am a few days late!

Wy is 3 weeks old and working towards 1 month! It is so hard to believe. Time flies when you are off work. It seems like I was pregnant f-o-r-e-v-e-r but my little guy is growing so fast! He is now eating 3 oz at every feeding! He is also very spoiled as hard as we are trying not to spoil him, it is so hard not too.

When you are around Wy, you will learn really quick that he is a typical boy and loves to make noise! It is so funny. Z calls him the little dragon because he can sound just like one! In all my spare time, I will see if I can capture this on video.

Do not be shocked when I post on here that he is rolling over...he is close to it already. I dont think he has a clue what he is doing but he sure gets over on that side. If he can figure out what to do with that arm! :) He has been holding his head up since he was born but he is getting really strong and not so wobbly!

We are still so attached to the darn passi... UGH! I am not even going, excuse me while I go across the room to a screaming child to put it back in his mouth, to go into this topic.

The hand of an angel

After three solid weeks of washing bottle after bottle and pumping gadgets after pumping gadgets, my hands are screaming for help! They are dry, cracking, peeling, rough (and tough) and just not very prissy or feminine for that matter. Its almost like I have never washed a dish before. Okay, so maybe I use my dishwasher ALL OF THE TIME!

As I was flipping through my coupons the other night, I found one promoting a new product. "DAWN Hand Renewal with OLAY". I was desperate for some relief so I cut that coupon out as quick as I could with my hands splitting with each movement. ::Okay, that was dramatic, but it made it entertaining:: I got home and couldn't wait to wash my hands. It actually works! It makes my hand feel freshly manicured as if I just sat in a nail parlor and had someone massage my hands with tender care. Who am I kidding..I am going to get a real manicure....SEE YA!

(seriously, this stuff is an improvement from your everyday soap when you find your hands in the sink more than typing on the Internet and that's a LOT)

2 Weeks

Well, yesterday was a big day for Wy! We started the day bright and early with his 2 week check up. He is doing great! After leaving the hospital, we lost down to 7 lbs from 7.7. The Doctor expected Wyatt to be at his birth weight again. He was above his birth weight and now weighs a big 7 lb and 10 oz. He is my little chunk!

He is keeping his eyes open more and more each day, with yesterday being the exception. He had a rough night. We put him to bed at 9:30. He fussed until 2:30. My right arm was numb by then from holding his passi in his mouth for those 5 hours. Oh the joys of motherhood in the middle of the night.

I have anxiously been waiting for his umbilical cord to dry up and get lost! I have been so worried about getting is caught and pulling it off. The other night it got caught on his outfit and kept bleeding. The dr. put silver nitrate on the bleeding part and it finally fell off Thursday afternoon! YAY! We can take real baths now.

Speaking of real baths, we did that today! Wyatt LOVED it for the most part but said enough is enough!

So in a nutshell we are doing great and are loving our little man more and more everyday!

Back in the Briarcrest days, they tortured us and made us carry agendas. Ugh, can you even imagine. How humiliating...making a cool high schooler carry around a nerdy agenda and force them to write in it. Well, my friend, that was just the beginning of it all. I AM ADDICTED! You can ask anyone that was in Bible Ministry class with me about the time I left my agenda at St. Francis nursing home and I nearly had a come apart...what would I ever do without my agenda? It's my lifeline. Its my memory. Its my future. Oh my, I couldn't survive!

Here we are 14 years later and I still use my agenda. Seriously. I never throw them away from the past. You never know when you will want to look back 3 years ago and see what you were doing! Granted, I am not sure where they all are but I am sure I didn't throw them away....LALA? So what kind of agenda do I use that keeps me addicted? That would be the August to August Calendar Organizer. Love love love it.

It is always thrilling when August rolls around and I can rush to the local bookstore to purchase my yearly agenda and get to write everyones birthdays and such down. This year I actually did something different. I had some Bible verse stickers I ran across and decided to just randomly place them throughout the agenda. I remember doing this while talking on the phone. There was no strategy at all, just flip and stick. I think there were a total of 8 stickers.

A couple of days ago, I was flipping to January 8th to put Wyatt's Birthday down...I might forget. When I got to the date I had a sticker on that exact day. Here is what I found.
