Two Weeks and Counting!


Ah, to sleep...perchance to dream.

Yes, we would all like that, wouldn't we? Here is our 2-week update. A bit tardy but not too bad considering.

Jack had a bit of a stomach virus his first week home and he has felt icky and been kind of fussy as a result.  It also gave him some serious diaper rash that we are still combating.  Poor little guy!  He also developed Thrush and that medicine can make his tummy hurt and add to his diaper rash problem.  So it has been a hard couple of week for him, but he is a trooper and is doing great anyway!

At his 2-day visit he weighed 5 lb 13 oz. We went to a new pediatrician for his 2-week visit and he had already surpassed his birth weight and was 6 lbs 9 oz! Plus he had grown 1/2 an inch! All this despite the tummy troubles.  The doctor said he looked great and was in the normal range for height and weight and head circumference.  Doc also noted he had good muscle tone for his age.  He is already working on holding his head up and looking around.  He grows so fast!

Jack had a fun time with Grandma Pat and she has gone back to Omaha for a bit and we hope she brings Grandpa Gary with her next time she comes out to Colorado.  Nonie and Papa Sudar are here now and are having a great time getting to know both Little Jack and his cousin Emerson. We are blessed that we live in the same town and Mom and Dad can visit both families in one trip. 

Lots of Tressells are coming for Easter weekend and hopefully Jack will be able to meet all of them.  We'll try to remember to take some photos and put them up to see.

I am doing OK, except for being a bit tired.  Scott went back to work this week which was a bummer for both of us.  He did take Tuesday off (between grandparent visits) to help me out. I am OK with just Jack and I but it's always easier with four hands not two.  Scott is doing OK back at work.  He is not the only one with a newborn - there is one a couple weeks older than Jack.  They will probably work to keep each other awake!

Hope you are having a great week.  Talk again soon folks!

    Thank you both! We are getting past the worst of things and he is far less fussy now. :)

New Ride!

Well, it's no Mustang, but it is black! What we got was a 2009 Pontiac Vibe. At any rate, we both like it. It was a reasonable price for a smaller sized family-with-lots-of-stuff car. It served the purpose of "ease of child seat access" and "can load many groceries plus a dog" into the back.  (You should have seen us try to get the rocking chair into the Mustang.)  It also serves the gas economy purpose (31/28 advertised) and was not a big SUV, or a minivan. I have never been fond of driving huge cars or trucks! It looks like a five door hatchback to us, but I guess it is technically listed as a "wagon." Some things go full circle, eh Mom?  Maybe a bit cooler than the Corona Wagon we drove in Texas, or whatever it was called.  Sorry the photo isn't super great, it's raining and cold so I pretty much didn't want to go out of the garage.  There are some more photos on our Flickr account (see link to right "other photos...")   It act...

4th of July and Other Buzz News

Greetings to all! I have finally had time to upload some more photos for Flickr and the blog and can keep you up to date on the Buzz around our water cooler, so to speak. :-) We've had a busy 2 months! Nonie and Papa Sudar came to visit for a few weeks at the end of June and through the 4th of July. We all had a good time. We spent a few days down in Walsenburg with most of the Tressells which Jack really enjoyed. And we really enjoyed the small break from constantly watching Jack! Thanks everyone!! Catch Papa! Bubbles in Walsenburg Cousins Making Cookies! Since we've been back we have been working on getting all the stuff in our garage either back into the basement, into the trash, or ready for donation. Our goal is simple: both cars inside by winter. Hopefully we can make it happen! So far things are going pretty well with Baby Buzz. We went to the doctor's last week for an ultrasound because I was measuring small (just like last time). This time I guess Buzz is a li...

I'm Gonna Have To Get a Female Cat. . .

Today was our 20 week ultrasound and appointment! Everything is going really well. Baby looks to be about 9 oz in weight and has a good heartbeat of about 132 bpm. But enough stalling! It appears I remain outnumbered in our home now - 3 boys to 1 girl (5:1 if you count our feline friends!). That's right folks, another boy! How many of you were right??? We were able to get a nice "up from the bottom" shot that confirmed the gender. We also took a nice shot of his foot, and his profile. Actually, I think I was in there for 45 minutes and she took about 50 shots of various organs and body parts. We got the two thumb's up from the doctor that he's looking great. I also got some medicine to try if my nausea continues to be a burden. Yes, just today I was feeling sick again. *sigh* Just for comparison I looked up some of the posts from this time with Jack: Nov 2008 Some things are the same: I still can't eat fruit without feeling sick, and I'm dropping thing...
