My Family Loves It

This week I am back at work after taking last week off to help Heather with Ben and Ethan. It definitely feels weird being back at my desk. I didn’t have any urges to buy lottery tickets while I was home…
Actually things are running pretty smooth in the web world. I’m adjusting to the new [...]

Wow, can’t believe Ben is 9 days old already! Also can’t believe I haven’t been on my blog since Monday. The quick update is that everyone is doing well. I’m going to post some backdated entries to let you know what’s been happening.
Today I have been busy fighting with our tractor. I think it [...]

After a week of high humidity and occasional storms we finally got some perfect weather. What to do on such a nice day? We couldn’t resist it and we took Ben to his first baseball game.
Ethan was only 10 days old when he went to his first hockey game so we figured we’d do the [...]

You might have noticed that Ben looks a little yellow in his pictures. While in the hospital he looked jaundiced and not too high, but not too low. This is common with babies, but something that needs to be monitored so it doesn’t get worse.
Well Ben didn’t seem to be improving and he also seemed [...]

As I type this, Heather, Ben, and Ethan are all taking naps upstairs. Yup, everyone is home! Heather and Ben are both doing great.
I’m watching some TV, uploading more pictures, and contemplating this new little addition to our family. I have to admit that when I was in the nursery with this little boy, only [...]

One of our biggest concerns this pregnancy was Ethan’s reaction to this little baby. (I know all the mothers out there cringe when I refer to a 9 lb 10 oz baby as ‘little’, but hey, he’s the smallest baby I’ve ever held) At first Ethan didn’t pay much attention to Ben. Now he’s getting [...]

At 8:20 am Friday July 16th, Ben was born! Ben and mom are doing wonderful! The stats: 9 lbs 10 oz, 22 1/4 inches. He is adorable and looks a lot like his older brother when he was born. If Ben had gone the extra 3 weeks that Ethan did, he would have been HUGE.
Heather [...]

Wow, can’t believe Heather is having the baby tomorrow morning! We will be heading to the hospital real early in the morning for the c-section. I doubt I’ll be online tomorrow to post anything, but by Saturday I should be able to get the info up on the site and maybe a picture.

T-minus 5 days and counting! Yup, Heather is having her c-section on FRIDAY. We are working past the nervous stage and full into the excited stage. We’re busy getting the house ready for Ethan’s little brother and we’re just about done. We’re trying to get Ethan ready for the arrival, but we know he has [...]
