6 Weeks

Noah had an appointment at six weeks, kind of both his one month and two month appointments, because of scheduling. He is 13 lb, 13 oz, 23.5 in. Not as fast to gain as Jonathan, but still good and healthy. My suspicion is that he won't be as fat as Jonathan was since Jonathan is now drinking... (More)

Pronunciation and More

Jonathan has gradually corrected his mispronunciation of words as he gets older. The two remaining sounds he has trouble with are hard "G" and "C/K." Around last week, he said "car" correctly. When he thinks about it, he can do it, and he likes to over-emphasise the ccckkk. He still says... (More)

Noah Activities, Similarities

Noah is a great sleeper and a great nurser. He will sleep 4-5 hours straight at the beginning of the night, and 2-3 hour segments during the day. This actually gives me time to play with Jonathan and get work done! He's also efficient at nursung and does not stay on as long as Jonathan did (or... (More)

Noah's Birth Story

Wednesday, June 28. 2:30am. My water broke! That was different. I woke Jon up with the news and he called the midwife while I went up to go to the bathroom and to wake up my parents. The midwife said it could be a long time before labor gets going after water breaking, but that we could... (More)

Last Prenatal (37.5 Weeks)

Last Tuesday was our last prenatal apointment. Everything was great, blood pressure back down to normal for me (Jon drove this time!) Baby is big, head-down, and all is well. The next time we see our midwife, I'll be in labor! Keep praying, we're almost there! (More)

Catch! and Helping

On Tuesday, Jonathan caught a ball for real! Usually the only time he catches it is if the thrower lands it directly into his arms. This time, he actually reached out and to the side with his two hands to make a sucessful catch. This past week has been very hot, slowing an already big and slow... (More)

First Sailing Adventure, 2006

Sunday, May 21st, on the way home from church, we saw what a gorgeous day it was and we wanted to go for a sail. We ate a quick lunch and then I took a nap while Jon and Jonathan prepared a picnic dinner and got the boat ready. We were all ready at the same time, and we headed off to the river.... (More)

36 Weeks

Jon had a business-related meeting this evening, and so needed to be in to work on time today. Thus, Jonathan and I went to the midwife appointment by ourselves. My weight gain and growth was good, still measuring big (ie, didn't slow down.) My blood pressure was the highest it's ever been... (More)

Robin Eggs Abandoned

We don't really know what happened, but we hadn't seen any robins at the nest for a while. Three weeks after Easter, I became suspicious, and now for sure these eggs won't hatch. We're going to clean up the whole window area and hopefully next year we will have successful robin hatching. (More)

Exercise

Good advice: if you're tired, make yourself get some exercise, even (or especially) if you're pregnant! I have observed before that I feel better when I am getting exercise, but for some reason I have lacked motivation to be consistent. Jon has been bugging me a lot about exercising, mostly I...

The Christmas Tree Survives!

Our first attempt at keeping a live Christmas tree live was a dismal failure, for two main reasons. One, we didn't take it down until April or some other such long time. Two, I misunderstood the instructions about misting the tree. What you are supposed to do is mist the branches to keep them... (More)

Hardest Sudoku Puzzle?

Names

Don't ever name your child the same name as you. It confuses everyone, from doctors to insurance carriers to airlines. USAir and United won't let me check-in online any more, since it can't figure out what to do with Jonathan and me. We both have different frequent flyer numbers, but it is... (More)

Verizon Credit Check

I got a notification from a credit bureau today saying that a new account had been opened by: Verizon Pen, PO BOX 165018, COLUMBUS, OH 43216. Since I haven't changed phone service since last year, it seemed odd that there would be a new account from Verizon.My mortgage company had their backup... (More)
