Two Week Check Up

Sorry for the late posts. We had our 2 week check up on Monday and Judah grew a lot. He was 7.14 lbs and now he is a 9.3lb baby boy. So, yes he is a good eater. His hearing is great, his pe-pe healed just fine. He is a big and healthy baby.

I have some pics that I need to upload of our first outing and his first party. The party was for the mid-wife that delivered him. Caroline, the mid-wife, is in school and is doing her residency at the Birth Center. It is takes 4 years to become a mid-wife and part of the schooling is to deliver 40 births. She completed the 40 birth part of her training so there was a party for her today. Judah slept for awhile then woke to get pics made and meet a lot of other babies. It was a fun day!

Late Nights

Judah has decided that he does not like to sleep from 10-1ish. Well, he likes to stay up for at least 3 hrs out of the night. Which is not bad at all except that he likes to scream for 3hrs or likes constant movement for 3hrs straight. The movement can NOT be electronic, it has to be Mommy or Daddy doing the movement. So yes we get tired very quickly. i have to say that Daddy is way better at this than Mommy. But Daddy has to get up to go to work so he only has a few nights of this. Daddy did discover swaddling...and how Judah likes it. Yes! it does works....so YEAH Daddy!

Judah's First Big Surgery

This past Wednesday we decided to get Judah circumcised. It was an awful day for all of us and I am most for Judah. He was such a big boy. It was pretty brutal but we did get to hold him during the cutting and that I think helped him knowing his Mommy and Daddy are right there with him.

Today we go back to the mid-wife to see how it healed up and also for his 2 week check up. So, ill give you guys an update of how the check-up goes.

A Beautiful Tuesday Morning!

I titled it a beautiful Tuesday morning because Judah slept most of the night, YEAH Judah! He only woke to burp, which Daddy did, and then he was out again until 430...We were soooo happy!

This morning Judah started his first bible study. Judah and I (Mommy) started one year bible study this morning. We read about Ezra reading the law to the people, a psalm about God's greatness, a proverb, and Romans...God's grace and what it means. Then we prayed together for Sydney (our new little girlfriend), Nikki, Mike, Jackson, Scout...they are traveling from Dallas to see us, Daddy, and Mommy to be great Christian parents. I really want to read the bible and pray everyday with Judah...as I look into his little eyes every second of each day I realize what a huge responsibility Erik and I have to this adorable little boy. We need God's greatness and guidance. Everything we choose to do or not to do affects Judah in such a powerful way. God will see us through.

We also read a parable about this alligator that wanted everything perfect. His wife loved the garden but bc it was not perfect with rows he never went and saw it. He died an unhappy alligator. What is perfection? Who is perfect? ....we talked about that after wards.

We walked the garden and saw what an awesome job Daddy does with the flowers and paths! Judah is excited to help out in the garden one day.

Judah is sleeping now. When he wakes I am going to give him a bath, which he loves. Then we are going to vacuum the house before our visitors get here. Then we will nap together, my favorite part of the day.

That's it for now

All About Judah

I wanted to updated you guys on how Judah is doing and what he has been doing.

Day One
Judah was 2 hours when he held his up. Yes! he really did hold up his as the mid-wife was doing the new baby screen....amazing! Maybe because he was a drug free baby?! I dont know but I like to think so...It was painful! Plus he is so alert and he moves his eyes to follow noise and our voices.

His first family dinner was eggplant parm. made by DIDI(Erik's Mom) and it was so delicious!

Day Two
First doc apt. He weighed in at 7lbs 9ozs. His birth weight was 7lbs. 14oz but loosing some weight for the 1st few weeks is perfectly normal. His pedrt. is Dr. Rebecca Hill with Hometown Pedtr. and we really like her alot.

Day Three
We went showed off our beautiful boy at the birth center and everyone loved him and thought he was the perfect combination of both Mommy and Daddy. Erik's mom thought he looked nothing like me but I found some baby pics and Judah looks soooo much like his mom. I am going to try and scan the photo so everyone else can compare. Anyways Judah DOES look alot like his Mom and Dad.

Day Four
Judah screamed all night...yes screamed! A lso in the evening Judah rolled over, it was on the couch, but he still rolled over.

Day Five
Judah's first cook out! We had burgers and veggie burgers, watermelon, salad, homemade pot. fries, and cheesecake (Nana's Fav.)

Sleeping is Good
