One Week Old

Jasper's one week today and everything is going great. Checked in with Dr. John this afternoon he is gaining weight great and is very strong. Jasper is now 7 lbs 8 ozs and 21 1/2 inches long. He has lost the cap to his circumcision and his cord stump so we are ready for a "tub bath!"

Danica's 1st Haircut

Danica went for her first haircut this afternoon and did fantastic! She sat in the chair herself and didn't fuss or wiggle too much :)

Welcome Jasper Ned!

Kelly and I are pleased to announce the birth of our son, Jasper Ned. Jasper was born on Thursday, January 21, 2010 at 5:47 in the morning. He is a great baby and he has a great big sister! Everyone is getting along great so far and just looking forward to the next few weeks at home together.

19 Months Old

Danica is 19 months old today and talks up a storm. She is quite the gabber and most certainly has her own opinion. Last night for dinner I tried a new recipe, I took one bite and wasn't impressed, but ate it anyway. Danica ate a bite, moved on to her yogurt, then her carrot, took another bite and then said she was "done." To that I replied if you don't eat your dinner you won't get dessert, to which she fussed, and we attempted to get her to continue eating. Her reply....."yuck!" I agreed with her so I offered her a PB sandwich, to which she was thrilled. I didn't even know she knew the word yuck let alone how to use it in context. Kelly and I both found it amusing and the family all agreed the recipe must go in the garbage : )

We enjoyed Christmas at the Heits home on Friday and managed to get the girls posed in their matching Christmas outfits from Mimi and Papa for a quick picture. It was nice to visit with them and for the girls to play a little together and us ladies even managed to make it out to do a little shopping while the boys watched football....and toddlers.

I had a doctor's appointment for our little guy this morning and we are still plugging right along. Heartbeat was great at 143 and I am 3 cm dialated and 60-75 % efaced. Things are ready around here for his arrival, he has a name, and I am beginning to get anxious. However, Kelly and I are both very busy at work so we are hoping to at least last this whole week. Everyone at work had a shower for us last Monday, and got us some really great things and fed me a super lunch---and managed to pull it all off without me knowing.
