Walt and I will be bosom buddies for just one more week. It is next Monday that I resume working and he gets sent to daycare. I will honestly say I have about a gazillion mixed emotions about this. Though I ultimately want to be working, I love all the time Walt and I get…

When we were in Gilmer a couple weeks ago, I asked for some baby pics of Chris. Of course, Nana was more than happy to oblige.  So, here we go. Here are pictures of Chris and me as babies and then a couple more of the Walt Man.  You decide who he looks more like. …

How in the world did Walt get to be two months old so stinkin’ fast??  I have several dear friends who are pregnant and it feels like I was just there with them.  Then at times it feels like I was pregnant years ago (and frankly, I am happy to not be in the last…

Walt is now six weeks old (holy cow, didn’t I just give birth to him?).  In his six full weeks of life he (and I) have discovered some favorite things.  Spending all day (and night) together, you start to latch on to those things that bring consistency. After our favorites, I’ll gloat about all the…

I can’t even believe it. On Tuesday, Mr. Walt turned one whole month old.  We celebrated by making a well-visit to the pediatrician to find out Walt is excellent at one thing in particular: Eating.  He’s 11 lbs 4 oz, and 22.8 in. long, which puts him in the 90th percentile in weight and 95th…

Though I have lots of things to say about Walt, I decided to write a bit about my foot and ankle.  As you might recall, I had a lovely falling down incident when I was 23 weeks pregnant and broke my foot and tore several ligaments in my ankle (nice going, slick). So, here I…

Walt and I have spent some serious quality time together this week.  Chris went back to work after having two weeks off (amazing).  Walt doesn’t seem to be sick of me yet, so that’s a good sign.  We kicked off the week with our first solo trip out… to the doctor (see previous post). We…

Last Saturday (Jan. 22) was Walt’s two-week birthday. Oftentimes, Chris and I have to remind ourselves that Walt is *just* 16 days old.  Spending day and night closely attached to the little man sure makes it seem longer than that (in a very good way).  In addition, I feel like he is changing rapidly everyday. …

Well, what a difference a few hours makes.  When I was convinced that Walt was going to not only take the full 40 weeks, I was “concerned” he would get so cozy in my belly that he’d take even longer. Well, our little bundle of deliciousness arrived on Saturday, January 8, 2011 at 3:22 p.m. …

Here I am at the edge of 38 weeks pregnant.  Theoretically I’m due two weeks from tomorrow, but anyone who’s known any pregnant woman in their life knows that this is truly just an estimate. Walt could decide to make a New Year’s appearance, or he could take his own sweet little time and skate…
