~11 weeks and counting~

WOW!!! We've made it 11 weeks!! AND, more importantly, we have passed our original due date! To add to our adventures of Reed's first 11 weeks of life, we added in a photo session.....so that I could get a picture to put with his birth announcement for the newspaper. HA! Better late than never. I am posting a few of my favorite pics from our session. I am also including the website of our photographer, with all of Reed's pics. We were very pleased with Emy, and highly recommend her if you need pics made. I believe she makes a trip to Fernandina Beach each summer to do family pics there.....which I would LOVE to do!!!  Please visit the site and browse Reed's other pics....I couldn't possibly put them all on our blog.

Now, to make his mommy really proud, he chose to shoot a bird in the next one...... What will I ever do with him when he gets to be a teenager?????




We did not have a weight check this week, since we did so well last week and were given a two-week break. We will go this next Friday, June 4th. I am VERY anxious to see the progress he has made. His appetite has DEFINITELY increased!

We have had several very rough nights lately, due to stomach aches. We are continuing the Zantac, Gripe Water, AND Mylicon.....with little relief. However, as I have said before, rough nights are indicative of the fact that we have a baby at home, which is a HUGE blessing considering Reed's beginning. We will take the sleepless, crying-filled nights and be thankful that God has blessed us with our little boy.

On this Memorial Day, we are so thankful for all who have served and are currently serving our country to afford us the liberties we enjoy each day. So many have given so much to bestow upon us the lives that we enjoy. THANK YOU, SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN!!!

What has God blessed you with on this holiday weekend? Take time to give thanks to Him and to the military people that you know.

Love to all,

  1. Love the pictures! Emy did a great job! John Michael is having tummy aches also. We have started using the Dr. Brown's bottles and that has really helped. You may want to try those if you can. I have some newborn diapers for you if you want them. They don't fit John Michael right even though he's only two weeks old. He always leaks out of them. I'll try to drop them by to you sometime this week.
