Monday again ...

2010-10-11T15:35:00.002-06:00

I am slowly starting to appreciate the "small victories" that occur throughout the day. Like doing a load of laundry, sending out Thank You notes in the mail, and especially sitting to cuddle with one kiddo or the other. I have yet to take a nap - but I am continuing to manage my activities since I am still under post-op restrictions from the c-section. I miss picking up Alexander but since the little man is weighing in at 38 pounds, I think its okay. :-)

I do have to make another comment from last week ............ we have been incredibly blessed by our friends and our church family who have brought us meals. I had no idea what a blessing that would be and we are so grateful. And another special THANK YOU to my mother in law who took it upon her self to FILL our new up-right freezer with lasagna, meat loaf, casseroles etc. ... I can't say Thank you enough!

My goals for last week were to shower before noon and eat lunch before 3. So far so good. This week GETTING ALEXANDER TO TAKE A NAP ... AND I AM PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT AS OF 3PM TODAY ... I DID IT! YEAH! I will continue to work on coming up with more of a schedule not only for Jamilyn and Alexander, but also for myself. To spend some time catching up with my devotions and with friends/family and getting some "little things" done ... like attempting to put Jamilyn's room together - and posting pictures on line.

Please pray for Jamilyn and her eating/weight gain. We will check her weight on Wednesday again at the Mother's Bunch and see what other things we can learn about this little one.

Big Brother Alexander ... on the go!

Week One

2010-10-09T15:01:00.000-06:00

Well ... so much for writing daily!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To recap the week I would say it was a typical "week one" for a new mom of 2.

Day 2 ... was not the best for me ... or Alexander as we adjust to the changes in our lives. Alex decided that he was not going to take a nap and ended up spending a lot of time in the timeout chair.
Day 3 ... Alexander went to daycare which was good for both of us. I know he misses going and playing with his friends and with the daycare workers. it is so fun to watch him go into "school" as he runs, shouting their names, and gives every worker a big hug! It makes Joe and I feel very blessed to have a great daycare and to have people who love and care for Alexander.
Jamilyn and I went to a Mothers Bunch that is for new moms and meeting with a Lactation Consultant. Jamilyn is not the best eater, so we are supplementing with formula and seeking advice from our physicians for what is the best for our little girl. After the Mother's Bunch (which was a lot more fun than i expected) I had to run an errand ... and found myself wandering around the store for about an hour! :-) It was the first time in a long time that I had by myself. So i laughed, and enjoyed brousing through shopko. I also picked up a few things for Alexander that I will use as special toys for when I am feeding Jamilyn. (Thanks to Kim for the idea to occupy the 2 year old). And we were all happy to be home as a family that evening.
Day 4 ... This was my first day to get the kids out of the house on my own. And it went okay. It took a lot of thought preparation and scheduling and we did pretty good! Alexander participates in a soccer program at daycare once each week. He loves to go play with "Coach A" and "Bob the Ball". Then it was home for another non-successful attempt at a nap. But overall we had a good day together. Alexander loves to color, draw and read books, which are perfect activities for when I am feeding Jamilyn. We also are working with activities that they do at school for counting/numbers and letters. We went outside and i let Alexander play just to see what he would do. Well ... i found him trying to water the garden, scoop up the doggie messes in the back yard, feeding the dog, etc - all activities that he did outside with his Grandpas when they played outside. It was funny to see him trying to do each of these activities.
Day 5 ... another great day but no nap yet again. This is just about when I am about to pull my hair out. Joe only worked a half day and when he got home ... he took 5 MINUTES AND HAD ALEXANDER SLEEPING! So the slightly irritated Mommy - appreciated the fact that he was napping ... but did not appreciate the fact that "super dad" was so successful. We were so glad to have dad home!

Day ONE

2010-10-04T20:23:00.003-06:00

Well today was my first day to be at home with the kids ... and without adult supervision.
1. Joe's parent's are back in PNG and instantly busy on the mission field, serving our Heavenly Father.
2. My parents left yesterday and are back at work in Wisconsin.
3. Joe is back at work full time

So that just left me, Alexander and Jamilyn. It was a little daunting - but we made it. After a difficult night last night THANKFULLY Alexander let me sleep until 8:15 (hooray!) We had to make a trip to the doctor's office - and Joe joined us for the outing. At Jamilyn's one week check up the doctors were concerned that she only weighed 8 pounds (birth weight was 8 lbs and 12 oz), and then at her 2 week check up still weighed in at 8 pounds. So with a little formula supplementing and a strict feeding schedule PRAISE THE LORD, today our little girl has gained 10 oz!!!!!!! So there is not much concern for the baby - and just continuing to focus on what we can do to make feeding more successful. We are just thankful that Jamilyn is okay.

Alexander continues to be a great big brother - wanting to take turns holding his little sister and for about 10 minutes today he read books to Jamilyn. It was just too cute. He seems to be adjusting well to the new addition to our family.

I will post pictures soon!

Thanksgiving in Wisconsin

2010-01-17T13:42:00.003-07:00

We travelled to Wisconsin for Thanksgiving week ... spent it with Mom, Dad, Ben, Kate, and Mary Alice, and Grandma Kunz. It was a great time ... here are a few pictures.

Great Grandma Kunz feeding Mary Alice. It was so great to see MAK, We are still amazed at everything that this little girl has been through in the past few months. I just needed to hold her, feel her, smell her ... and hear her little heart beating away! God is so good!

CHEEZE! ...Joe the bearded man!

Wow ...

2009-05-27T10:39:00.000-06:00

Almost like the camera was set on "sport setting" ... all of these pictures were taken in a matter of seconds. Alexander loves rolling around the living room.

He also got his first haircut using the clippers just like daddy ... he took it like a champ.

Hanging out with Mom

2009-05-25T10:35:00.000-06:00

More new stickers

2009-05-21T10:32:00.001-06:00

Grandpa Dave sent Alexander some new stickers for the final days of his helmet. And of course ... it's HARLEY DAVIDSON! And we still have the Broncos sticker for Dad.

Movin'

2009-05-17T22:09:00.001-06:00

Alexander has started to really enjoy standing at the edge of the couch. He's pretty funny to watch, but then after awhile his legs get too tired and he just sits. This time he got stuck between the foot rest and the couch.

Joe & Alexander

2009-05-14T22:06:00.000-06:00

On the MOVE!

2009-05-01T20:19:00.000-06:00

Alexander is becoming more and more mobile ... he crawls ... scoots ... spins on his belly ... and my favorite ... sometimes he lays on his back arches up and scoots on his helmet. We have yet to catch this on camera. Soon I hope! :-) This is Alexander getting into a little trouble. It's only the beginning!

Alexander & Claire

2009-04-28T18:26:00.006-06:00

check out my new stickers! Thanks Great Aunt Beth!

What's this??? How come I don't have one??

Claire ... "are you kidding me ... him again!"

I love spring!

2009-04-26T18:22:00.000-06:00

My tulips, daffodils and my plum tree are blooming ... it may be cold outside ... but spring is coming. This weekend I just filled my backyard with a ton of new perennials that I found on Craig's list (bargain shopper at heart). And ... most of them I don't remember what they are so this summer it should be fun to watch everything come up. Now I just have about 3 HUGE containers of Iris to plant and a few annuals! I can't wait. (Good thing mom is coming to visit so she can make sure I do everything right!)

I cut Alexander's hair while he was in the bathtub ... it was much easier because he would sit still while he played! :-) Shorter hair will be much cooler for the helmet!

After ... he looks so grown up!

Helmet Head!

2009-03-30T21:34:00.002-06:00

Here are the pix of the new helmet! (awwww....) Alex is doing well with the helmet, he had a little pressure spot, but it has cleared up completely and he acts like it's no even on. However, when you take the helmet off ... he is one HAPPY baby! And he loves the bath each night ... we think he is going to be quite the water boy.

Claire and Alexander are becoming much more interested in each other ... it is quite cute!

We are open for stickers/decals etc just mail them to us and we will put them into the rotation! The stickers don't last forever. The first 4 we put on ... and we are down to one left.

Look at those legs!

A word from Mom ...

2009-03-23T06:50:00.001-06:00

Personally, I am very excited for spring. I have about 30+/- tulips that are coming up and the weather is getting warmer! I can't wait to take Alexander outside to learn about an entire new world.

Well our little man, is now weighing in at about 22 pounds, and stands 2'4". He is getting quite the personality. Joe and I are having a blast! Not sure what we did before he had him ... hmm ...

Another update ... he gets his helmet this week ... so we will have more pictures to add soon. We are still praying that insurance will pay for it and that things will go smooth. An answer to prayer ... HIS COUGH IS GONE! After several months of numerous antibiotics and specialists we discovered that Alexander has SILENT acid reflux, the silent part just means that he does not have all of the symptoms that the rest of us get when we have acid reflux (lucky kid). He as been on Prevacid for the past 3 weeks and we have noticed significant changes! We are so excited to have him feeling better, and he is sleeping MUCH better too. Yeah!

Until Next time!
Love you all!

Shew!

2009-02-26T20:11:00.002-07:00

So it has been quite a month and I figured you all needed an update.

So we are getting to know our family physician a little to well. To make another long story short, we are on our 4th round of antibiotics for Alexander's chest cold. We have had several tests done and so far everything is coming up without an answer. So we ask for your prayers as he is going in for another test (Upper GI) next week. The good news, Alexander continues to be extremely happy, playful, and growing quickly. Not acting sick or uncomfortable. We are confident in our doctor and trust that he will get to the bottom of this.

During our regular check ups with the physician he has suggested that we see a cranial facial specialist for a flat spot that has developed on the back of his head. So we had the consult today and it looks like we are going to be getting a helmet for our little guy. We learned today that this probably started before he was born and it typically does not show until the child is 3-4 months old. And since Alexander is such a good sleeper, (sleeping through the night since he was 5 weeks old), this does not help the situation and allows the flat spot to increase. So the fitting is next week and we will go from there. However it is still unknown if this is covered by insurance or not since it is a "cosmetic" treatment. arg! So we will continue to press on and see what God has in store for us.

Love you all!

Ymmm... Food???

2009-01-31T10:04:00.003-07:00

Alexander is not quite sure what to think about Cereal ... but he sure is looking forward to eating like a BIG BOY!

Cereal, Amoxacillin, & Sweet Potatoes

2009-01-29T19:20:00.003-07:00

I love being a mom ... there are a lot of things that I knew ... a lot of things that I thought I knew ... and a lot of things that I just don't know.

CEREAL: So our latest adventure ... we started Alexander on rice cereal a few weeks ago. Each time that we gave it to him it was followed by several questionable looks about the unknown substance in his mouth. (pictures to follow) So he would humor us and eat a few bites and then spit the rest out. He was not a big fan, and to be honest I was a little disappointed.

AMOXACILLIN & CEREAL: As many of you know Alexander has been battling a chest cold on and off for several months. After MANY phone calls to our family physician he decided it was time to bring him in (shew!). To make a long story short ... I think that Joe and Alexander left their mark on Idaho Family Physicians. So they came home with a bottle of Amoxacillin ... also known to my family as "strawberry shortcake medicine", my childhood favorite medicine. The smell alone made me a little nauseated and brought back memories of the cold sugary syrup that I so enjoyed. Well ... to my amazement ... ALEXANDER HATES STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE MEDICINE! Infact he HATES it so much ... he stopped eating his cereal! So each night typically was a stand off for how long I was going to trick him into eating his cereal (between each ounce of his bottle I would shove a spoonful in) and how long he was going to resist. :-) It was quite comical! So once again I was on the phone to our doctor who said don't worry about the cereal ... lay off for a bit and why not try some veggies.

AMOXICILLIN: ... the best (dripping in scarcasm) part of the conversation with the doctor was he said because he has had this nagging cold for so long ... he wanted to do a SECOND 10 DAYS OF ANTIBIOTICS to make sure we really get rid of the bug. In my head i'm saying "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" So, Joe and I have decided to perservere!

SWEET POTATOES, CEREAL & AMOXICILLIN: ... to my relief ... Alexander LOVES the sweet potatoes ... and after a meal of only sweet potatoes ... i started sneaking in a bite or two of cereal ... and again ... he LOVES IT! Alexander loves his food so much ... he is boarderline in tears between each bite because Mom is not feeding him fast enough. I had no idea his mouth could open up SO FAR! Yeah! So then last night I got a little more sneaky ... he was still hungry after his cereal and sweet potatoes ... so i mixed the strawberry shortcake medicine with cereal ... and he ate it! Yeah, no one cried or got mad, and i no longer have pink speks on my glasses from Alexander spitting his medicine (his newest trick) which he thinks is pretty funny!

So ... all in all to say ... MOM WON THIS TIME!! :-)

Play Time

Big Dog!

2008-10-28T09:41:00.000-06:00

Claire has been such a great dog through the addition of Alexander to our family. She still tries to demand attention whenever she can, and occasionally pouts ... but in a few months Alexander can start to play more with her she will be ready. She continues to guard our yard from any squirrels or trespassers.

More tummy time & new toys!

2008-10-27T09:55:00.000-06:00

Alexander is starting ... enjoy tummy time more each day ... talking to mom and dad ... and figuring out his hands (sort of). Thanks to Aunt Tami & family for the new toys!
