10 Weeks


Jase & I spent a lot of time watching the news coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings.  With the injured list at more then 170 people and 3 fatalities, sickening seems like an understatement to describe this unnecessary tragedy.













Just a reminder that 9/11 wasn't that long ago and it's not safe to relax and let our guard down as a country.

Thank goodness for the first responders who acted without hesitation...without them, it would be hard to argue there is any good left in this world.

   








My last week of maternity leave...

Milestone:  Jase gets his first "cold".  I use the word "cold" very lightly...it's really just a stuffy nose due to this ridiculous fluctuating weather.  We made the mistake of shutting off the humidifier for 1 measly night and BAM!  Luckily that's his only symptom.  No fever so we've just been getting a lot of practice with the aspirator. 

4-12-2013 - Chunky baby!!!  Can't get enough of those thighs!!!



4-13-2013 - Impromptu feeding & diaper change in the car while in Bloomington accompanied by a lot of  
                     spit up 
 4-14-2013 - Video monitors are the SHIZ!!!


4-15-2013 - Showing off the bib from Uncle Jeff...still deciding if we're going to let him wear the Sox jersey



 4-16-2013 - The results of wiggling while swaddled...just a little bald spot.  And rocking his new shades from The Bachman's - such a stud :)


                     Kiel worked over Wednesday night - he didn't get home til Thursday am at 8:30ish.  I thought
                     I didn't like being home alone before...it's even less comforting with a baby.  We did survive.


4-17-2013 - A visit to see his BFF Jack!  Almost the same height??!??!  

Jack = 4 months  Jase = 2 months
 4-18-2013 - Daddy came home just long enough to eat dinner with us tonight, but headed out shortly after
                      to go help with all the poles down from the flooding.  We are crossing our fingers the river
                      crests and the roads clear up before Saturday so everyone can make it to Grandpa's
                      wedding!!!! 

The nurse at the hospital told me "for the next 3 or 4 months you will probably feel like a Christmas Tree and he will be your ornament".  Couldn't have said it better myself!
