2 Month Stats And A Special Doc!


Just to compare: 2 week bath time


2 month bath time


Our favorite jammies.I found these at the D.I. for $1 before I even had him. They have become the family's favorite jams.




He was especially fussy this day.As soon as I put him in this snow suit he became so quiet and fell asleep. He loved it.


Dr Gatherum and Diego

Diego had his 2 month check up yesterday. He weighed 11 lbs 11 ounces and was 22 and a half inches.He has already more than doubled his tiny birth weight. He also got a whole bunch of immunizations too. Boo to that. He is so wonderful. I love that he loves to cuddle with me. Dr. Dowse our pediatrician kept calling him a little miracle because he knew what we went through to get him. Since he was two weeks old he has been struggling with acid reflux and has been a little colicky. It causes me and Carlos to not get a lot of sleep. I stay up many nights watching him sleep because he spits up in his sleep and it scares the heck out of me. We wouldn't trade him for anything.And of course I am suffering from the paranoid Mom syndrome that I had with all of my kids. I worry about him all the time. Lame I Know.

He also got to take a picture with my Dr at my 6 week follow up visit. Dr Gatherum was amazing. I was lucky enough to get to work with him for a short time when he first moved here. So I have known him for several years. He was great while we were trying to conceive (he always gave us hope even when it wasn't looking to good), He was great during the pregnancy even when I fell into the high risk category and he did a wonderful job at delivering our little boy. Plus his staff is so great too! I don't know who was more excited when I found out I was pregnant. Him or us. He is a special Dr and I'm glad he got to go through this journey with us.

Blessing Day

Diego was blessed on Jan 2nd by his Dad. It was a special day for us. He is the first of our children for Carlos to bless since he wasn't a member of the church with the other kids. We had a lot of family attend and it was just perfect!



Christmas




This was one of Carlos's gifts. He loves carrying our babies in these










This year our tree was decorated with lots of things that my kids have made in the Christmas's past.I loved sitting there at night with all the lights off except the ones on the tree and I would look at all of the things my sweet kids had made in the past and present


Diego's first official stocking from Aunt Angie. Utes of course!



Christmas at our house was a huge success this year. Carlos actually didn't have to work and we loved having him home. On Christmas morning Alesia had a great plan for all of us to have a family prayer to help us to remember the true meaning of Christmas before we opened our presents.It helped bring the spirit into our home that morning. I think she has started a new tradition for us.

Also my wonderful big sister helped decorate my house this year with my kids. Talk about a huge relief. I just love my sisters.
