Easter Fun

Nichole and I had some Easter fun the Friday before Easter. We have never colored eggs. She was so excited and they turned out pretty good too.Nichole loved the glitter. We took one dozen to Curtis's family and another to mine. There is still the marks on the table of the fun night but little by little it is coming clean.

Bed time ???

Please tell me what is it like to have more than two hours of sleep?? Curtis is doing good except his little tummy still is not holding more than about 2 1/2 ozs at a time. So for mommy that means he is a little clock and wants to eat every two hours or every hour. It has been one month of doing this and I am tired. Nichole has been having alot of lung problem this past week too, she is up and down all night with coughing. We have put her back on a breathing machine, which is helping but only if we really stick to it and do it every four hours. So for mommy that means yes you guessed it up in the night to do those.. I love my kids and being a mom is the best, however I would love a little more shut eye... it will pass and one day I know that I will look back and probably want these days back=)

Curtis

Curtis went to chruch for the first time last Sunday.. He did look so cute. He was my little man. But has you can tell he much have know that chruch is three hours long so he let us know how he felt about having to get all dressed up. The red face says it all or maybe the hand in the face as if to say it is bad enough you have me wearing these clothes now your going to take my picture too.

Garden Time

So about two weeks ago Curtis and Nichole started planting the garden. This year we started it inside in the planter's because last year only have of our garden ever came up out of the ground.Nichole had alot of fun pushing the seeds in and it was wonderful because they only took about two days to start coming up. She was so excited that every day she was checking them so it was good that it only took a few days. We have a big spot in the backyard that they were all moved to Sat. We hope that we have a good growing season!! Every year we seem to learn a more about gardening so we are due for a good one!!

Update

Update!! So happy days Baby Curtis is pasted his birth weight!! He weighed in at 6lbs 9ozs on Friday. He gained a half of a pound in 4 days. So now I can go two whole weeks without seeing the doctor. Also good news I went to the doctor today for my two week check (really it has been 3weeks) so that they can check the c-section cut only to find out that everything is great she can't believe how good everything looks and she even cleared me to go back to work. I am going to be working just one or two days a week. So wish me luck because Curtis is my manager=)

Two Weeks

Our little Curtis was Two Weeks on Monday!! He is now 19 inches and 6lbs 1oz. Lets just say we have been seeing the doctor every three days because they are concerned with him not gaining weight. They were hoping to have him at least back at his birth weight on Monday but that wasn't the case so we go back on Friday and I hope that he is back at 6lbs 6ozs. We have gone from counting milliliters to him know drinking about an 1oz and half every two hours. I guess that a newborn is normally drinking about 3ozs at a sitting by two weeks. At least he isn't losing weight anymore and we have a good doctor just wish that I wasn't seeing so much of him.

Curtis John-Adam

So we got an early surprise on Monday March 9th, Our little guy wanted to come to the world a few weeks early and there was no stopping him ( which they tried for about 6 hours and that just made him mad) So Monday at 7:57 through c-section all 6 pounds 6 oz and 18 inches of him joined this earth. He looks just like his daddy and has the feet and hands to prove it.We are all doing well. Very happy he is here and doing ok. Nichole loves that he is here and just can't believe it.
