We survived

We’re in Florida! Somehow we struggled through one of the grossest and unhealthy days of Jordan’s life the day before we left town. I learned how babies get rid of excess mucus in their tummies: By puking. It was a miserable time. I’ve been fretting about Jordan’s hydration and I know she isn’t gaining weight…

Old pictures found

I was digging through the messy side of our basement when I stumbled onto my baby book. Isn’t it incredible how easy it is to take pictures now? Back when I was a baby… Pictures appear to be scarce. There aren’t month-by-month documentations of my growth. But I found a few shots that look a…

My new personal obsession

After seeing Jordan’s x-ray, I’m now obsessed with the possibility of constructing an elbow. I found a picture online of just the humerus. I’m not sure if she has a capitellum. That’s something the doctors may be able to know by looking at her x-ray. I know she has muscles under the humerus bone… And…

Bulb syringe and goo

Jordan hates the bulb syringe. I hate pulling gunk out of her nose. Hopefully it’s helping. Her nose started really running last night. She’s not really happy… And trying to sleep a lot. Did I mention how gross it is to use the bulb syringe? I’ve used it more with Jordan than I ever used…

Not identical… But similar

I’m pretending to not watch Mizzou lose to Baylor… I was thinking about a conversation I had with my Mom on Skype earlier today. She thinks Jordan’s first smilelooks just like Cameron’s. I disagree… but I do agree they look similar. (Cam is the picture of the baby wearing white – Jordan has pink) The…

Sickness in the air

The boy was diagnosed with walking pneumonia… And I’m frightened Jordan will get it. I’m mostly concerned because the pediatrician thinks Randy and I probably have it too. He can get drugs… But I’m stuck. Since I’m breastfeeding, there’s little I can do… I can’t take drugs. Online, it says it takes about a month…

The crank monster is losing her hair

Jordan woke up this morning flashing smiles to her brother and Dad… But she’s been pretty cranky since then. She’s sleeping really well in my arms… but not in her bassinet. I know I should put her to sleep in her bedroom. But I also like the baby asleep in my arms thing. We’re also…

Rough day for both kids

For some reason, Jordan was cranky all day. She seemed to have a hard time relaxing, even in my arms. Naps didn’t last long most of the day. I’m not too sure why. But she’s been asleep for the last 2 hours in her room… So I’m thinking her night sleep is moderating. I’m sure…
