Strong willed baby

This is the second picture we have taken where our less then one month old was holding his own bottle. Can you believe it? The other picture isn't able to be posted, but this one is. Isn't he a cute boy who knows what he wants? Yes, for the record I am still Bfeeding him, but he eats too much for me alone.

Brantley turned one month old yesterday. I can't believe how fast time flies. I would have taken some pictures, but I didn't think about it until about 8 pm when we were all ready for bed after the fun trip. He is an awsome baby and such a blessing to our family. My other little me are the best helpers in the world and I am the luckiest mom.

Vacation in Colorado

Our family took our first vacation in years last weekend. We left on Friday afternoon and returned Sunday. We were gone one whole day. No cell phone coverage, no computer and no playstation. It was heaven in Colorado.

When we arrived Friday we unloaded the van and then ran out to dinner. It was a beautiful cafe on the lake, but service was super slow. It was dark when we arrived back at our cabin suite. Here is a pic of our suite.

Here is the only picture of me taken during the whole trip.


As you can see Saturday we spent most of the day on the lake with our extended family. It was a family reunion after all. I miss lakes and water. My family in Utah has a family reunion on the lake every year and this was the same. So much fun.

Thursday Night

Brantley

The lighting could have been better.

I won't post his details online, so if you want to know more email me.

The Song of the Day (Wednesday)

A SON will come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
I'll have a
Newborn SON

Another night in the hospital

I have been contracting for over 5 weeks. I am not talking little contractions all the time. I have little ones all day and then they will get so hard I can't walk, talk or do anything. That is when I call the doctor. Yesterday I was told to go in the hospital again and so I did. I was having really hard contractions and they were 3 mins apart, AGAIN. So they checked me and yet again no change. I begged "Please just induce me. I hate coming in just to go home again." Nothing.

Here is the kicker. I never saw or talked to a doctor, just the annoying nurse Patricia. At 10:30 at night my doctor walks in. He isn't even the doctor on call. He asked how long I had been there and I told him at least 3 hours and he said no one told him I was there. He just happened to see the board with my name and room number on it. UGH. We talked and he told me why I should wait until Thursday as we planned and I came home, yet again.

I just have to say I have the best friends and family to look after my boys.
