Small Update

I will try to update longer on Wednesday. And perhaps by then, I can upload all the pics I want to and bring my bloggy blog up current.

For those of you who don't know, we had to take Spencer to Primary Children's Emergency Room last Thursday. He had a 103 degree fever and a horrible cough and he was so stuffy he could hardly breathe. He is thankfully doing better, and he still has a bad cough and he is hoarse, but at least the fever is gone. They had to suction his nose out with a hose-like thing twice, poor bubs. I was going to take pictures, but I thought it might be a little...morbid...or something. anyway, we are all alive and well, and I will update on Wednesday!

Halloween

Ok, so I think this will bring us to Halloween.

I love the baby in overalls. So cute...

Spencer was a Giraffe. Here he is hanging out with Daddy

Brian's brother Kyle, and his then Girlfriend, noe fiancee, Lauren.

Spencer and Brian's siblings and their friends, ready to go get their pogey bait.

Jenna and bubs

I tried to take some nice fall photos of him, but he wouldn't have any of it.

I forgot to turn this one! oops

5 Generational Photos

It isn't very often that you have 5 full generations anymore, so we had pictures done with Brian's Family. His great grandparents' DeWaal, the Wrights, The Wrights, and us. This one is probably my favorie of all of them
Here we all are again

Just the main line. Spencer, Brian, Elizabeth, Claudia, and Barbara amd Jacob.

I love this picture. I just kissed him randomaly as he was looking at my sis-in-law, and she got the shot!

I thought this was a unique famiy photo. Of course, he was sleeping, but hey, I thought it was still cute.

This es everybody's favorite for the family photo.

Ok, so I've decided to update in small short bursts...

This one is from when Spencer was 6 weeks old, when he got blessed in September.

I do have to admit I miss my long hair...I chopped it off a few weeks ago.

And I forgot I had that skirt...sorry, a few random things

A small family photo. I look at these and can't believe he was so small. He is HUGE now.

I love this picture. He was such a bright eyed alert little guy, even when he was brand new. Hia looks have changed so much since then. He looks more like me now.

I'm rather partial to this one, too. Thank You Liz for taking the photos and doing all the editing for me!

I know its been FOREVER

Ok, I don't even have time to update right now, but I will upload the latest Spencer pics and little snippets about or goings on...If I don't, Becca, text and harass me until I do. ;)

so many pictures

Ok. I know it has been awhile, and I have tons of pictures to upload, so we will make this as painless as possible and make my updates into mini chapters that will be easier to digest. Ready, set GO! :)

Baby Blues

I thought I would update a bit about Spencer.

In his Handsome like daddy shirt. He is so cute, absolutely adorable.
Ah, his first tummy yime, in which he crawled 4 inches in that little army crawl scoot thing that they do at first. Little snot...

Ah, his little bouncer that he so loves

I love this picture of him.

Little Frog boy...so sweet

His Biliruben tests came back too high so he had to have this light bed. Needless to say, he didn't like it.

Oy. I can't believe Spencer will be 4 weeks old tomorrow, and technically a month old on Sunday. He is growing so fast! He's already almost too tall to wear 0-3 month clothes. I can't believe it. Before I know it, he's going to be a year old!

I have been a tad depressed lately, too. It's a normal bit of fluctuating hormones. I mainly take care of the baby so Brian can get the rest he needs for work, because if he misses or shows up late 3 times in a month, he will be fired, which is really lame considering the fact that he is a temporary employee. He's already up to 12 of 12 points because he had to take the time off to take baby in for biliruben testing and the day off when he got circumcised. Anyway, staying up with screaming, squalling baby takes its toll. I'm exhausted. I cry at lame things that are not sad or distressting. I feel very inadequate as a mother because I can't get my baby to not fuss sometimes. My mom will actually take him overnight for a few nights a week so I can get some rest, but it makes me feel like I can't take care of my baby.

For the most part, he really only fusses at night. He really is quite a good baby. He eats a lot though. He is already taking 4 oz a feeding, every 2-3 hours. I think he weighs a good 10 pounds now.
