I will find the time to post part 2 of C's coming home, but I just wanted to post about the fun stuff that has been going on. C is so sweet! Those of you who have met him and held him see how cute and snuggly he is. The evenings are what we deem the "witching" hour, when his Colic seems to rear it's ugly head. We have tried Mylicon, swaddling, etc, and just purchased some Gripe water and it seems to be working. Every night seems to bring a bit more sleep, and although we are tired, we just love to hold sweet C and share our love with him. C loves to be held, and loves to just watch and stare at the faces of those holding him. He will even sneak a little smile if you are lucky!!! He is spoiled and sleeps in a swing, but it is our only salvation and way that we can ensure a few hours of sleep. Mike and I LOVE being a Mom and Dad, and are all too happy to hold our sweet guy. He loves to eat, and he weighed in at 10 pounds last Friday, when I took him to our pediatrician for the first time. He is being fed "the good-stuff" and it REALLY cuts down on the symptoms of his Colic. I wish you all could see him and hold him, because everyone who does just falls in love with C. He has adoring aunts, uncles, Grandparents, cousins, and of course, parents and siblings. He loves to stare at a picture of the Savior on the wall, and just melts your heart with his smiles!!! His little cry is darling. We love to dress our little guy (okay, I love to dress our little guy) even though he hates it at the time. C has monkey-hair, and it does whatever it wants, no matter what you do with it. He has long eyelashes and big baby-blue beautiful eyes. We could not love him more and can not wait till he is an official part of our family, for good. We are grateful to so many that we are blessed to be able to have his sweet spirit in our home.

Gotta Love Being a Mom (and a Dad!!!)

I love the hair!
ReplyDeleteHi, you asked if it was the first time visiting to leave a message. I am an LDS mom with two healthy kiddos. My sister found Gracie's blog and we followed their story, although we cried many tears it helped me to be a better mom by just enjoying each moment with my kids. Thank you for sharing your stories, they give me courage and hope.
ReplyDeleteO K, It's only fair that you got "THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BABY". What a sweetie. I know how full of love your hearts are for C. I'm sooo happy for you. Kiss those cute cheeks and tell him it came all the way from Iowa. We continue to keep you in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!
He couldn't get any cuter if he tried! Your joy oozes off the computer screen. I can truly feel it to! I truly am so very happy for you both!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeleteAnd I slept my baby in a swing until she was 6 months old . . . I think sometimes parenthood is about going into survival mode, and for us and our colicky babies, we did WHATEVER it took to get as much sleep for that kid as possible! And, despite warnings from all the grandparents, she transitioned to sleeping in her crib no problems! I figure she always seemed SO miserable with the colic and all, that if it made her more comfortable to be in the swing, it's the least I could do! (We also swaddled, TIGHTLY, until about 6 months with both our colicky babies.)
You already sound like a doting mother. So cute, love the hair!
ReplyDeleteFrom one finder of cute boy clothes mom to another, YOU DID!!!! I love his outfit... Darling....LOVE IT!!!! Congrats again and again... I can't wait to meet this little guy....
ReplyDeleteHe really is the cutest baby ever!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me interupt your evening. I really enjoyed snuggling him. It was such a joy to have him fall asleep in my arms. I tried to explain to Dan how cute he is. Dan will just have to see him in person to get the full effect.
He is just adorable. I'm so happy for you guys!
ReplyDeleteHe is TOO cute! I love that "monkey" hair!
ReplyDeleteHe's so so cute!! I'm very happy for you!!
ReplyDeleteCon cariño.

He is so cute! Congratulations! I'd really recommend the book "The Happiest Baby on the Block" to help with your colic issues. It saved us with our son!
ReplyDeleteOH.... he is just precious!! Congrats you guys. Hopefully you will get some sleep soon!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for more pics!
Hey, i am not sure if you are still lokking for milk donors but there is a new one posted on milkshare in UTAH! She is in saint george, just thought I would pass that along.
ReplyDeleteAlso, he so SOOO cute! I LOVE that hair.
Colic can be very tough but in time it does pass, a warm bath with mom did seem to help just before sleep for us.
Congrats!
