13 Weeks So Far So Good...ish

Hey!

Well I went to the doctor for my second visit and they are a lot shorter the second time around! Everything is OK with baby. We listened to the heartbeat and it was 155 bpm. Yay! It was so neat to hear that sound and know everything was going well.

As for me, this pregnancy has been a bit different. I feel like junk more often than not, and it doesn't show any signs of subsiding in the near future. One one hand, I know each pregnancy is different. On the other hand I can't just sit around and try to feel better - I have a kiddo to chase around! So there are a lot of things contributing to my condition. . .

Jack is doing really well and we are trying to start to talk to him about babies. He has made some early predictions already. We'll have to see if he changes his mind later.

Brother or Sister? Sister
Hair like Dad or Mom? Dad.

Only time will tell!

Have a super day!

    Dena, those first weeks can be harrowing! My doctors always told me to concentrate on eating protein--maybe that will help you. Try to rest whenever possible and soon you will be feeling great! This is such a special time for your family.

    I'd not heard protein - I'll try that since this sickness just won't quit. :) Thanks so much!

Cut Out the Middle Man

I t was snack time at the Christensen house and I decided to use up some leftover cream cheese and salsa and chips (just lying around -I promise!!) Jack, as it turns out is new to the world of dipping. I used some of his crunchies and dipped it in the salsa cheese mix. He seemed to enjoy the flavor of it. I went into the kitchen to fix us both a drink and when I came back out I realized that Jack decided he'd had enough of the middle man and went right into dipping with the tools God gave him! I laughed so hard I had to share it with you! No One's Around to Catch Me... E xcep t Mom and her camera... I guess he thought it was good bean dip! He ate the rest of the bowl!!

7 Weeks Old!

All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go! Smile for Daddy! Baby, You Can Drive My Car Well, Little Jack is almost 8 weeks old now.  He has been a busy boy, and we are starting to get into a more regular routine. I think it is good for all involved.  We usually get up about when Daddy does at 5:00.  Sometimes we get another nap after that first meal, but sometimes we don't. And that's OK.   Our new nighttime routine involves bath-time at 7:00 (on bath days) so that he can eat and drift off to sleep and maybe give Mom and Dad an hour before their 9:00 bedtime.   Jack can still usually go 4 hours at night. Sometimes we are unlucky and he gets up every 2 hours.  This is rare now.  Sometimes we are very lucky and  he'll sleep 6 to 8 hours.  Not too often, but it is a taste of things to come.  He is getting really good at holding his head up.  I think he gets bored on some days because you cannot just leave him in his bouncy seat - he cries and cries.  He went into the doctor's last...

Second First: First day of School!

Well, the day finally came. It felt like we waited a long time, but the day arrived quickly nonetheless. The first day of school! Maybe it seemed to come so soon since the kids start school when they are 2 1/2 or 3 now. Guess there's more to learn than when I was a kid, LOL. It was more stressful than I thought to select a school. We visited a few local(ish) schools and finally settled on Holy Cross Lutheran Early Learning Center . It's only 15 minutes away, which is pretty close for where we live. We liked this preschool mainly because of the small size of the classes. And when we took Jack for a tour he seemed the most comfortable. So I guess in the end the choice was pretty simple - I just over worry about things most of the time. So he goes Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 - 12:00. It's an adjustment for all of us, but so far so good. Ready to Leave  That was Jack all ready to go on the first day. Eventually he'll grow into that backpack. B...
