2 months old....

and growing too fast! I can't believe it has been 2 months already. Where did the time go? William had his 2 month check up today and he is doing well! He weighs 9Ibs 4oz, which puts him in the 6th percentile, and he is 21 3/4 inches long, which puts him in the 11th percentile. At his 3 week check up he was in the 1st percentile in both weight and height so he is growing! :) I don't remember his head measurement but i do remember that it was around the 17th percentile. So it's great to see that he is gaining. By Shawn's 2 month check up he was actually declining in the percentiles not rising. He smiles and coos and talks up a storm, or coos up a storm anyway. He can pick his head up and he is grasping things. He got 3 shots today and an oral vaccination. It was funny when they were giving him his oral because once it was gone he screamed at them for more, literally screamed at them. lol. He cried for about 1 minute after his shots and then stopped. He was so good. We ended up leaving the doctors office with Shawn crying because he hit his head. That was a little backwards. William is a nice healthy boy. Other than right now he isn't feeling very well thanks to the shots. :( I know they are needed though. I just hope he gets feeling better soon.

Giving Shawn a kiss

Trying to get Shawn to come back for pictures.

I like this one because i feel it has a lot of symbolism in it. The parents trying to call their child that has wondered, back to them. 

Sick....

We made it 6 weeks before William got sick. :( Yep i have sick boys. Shawn came down with a fever yesterday morning and it spiked to over 102 in the afternoon. Usually when Shawn has a fever there is an ear infection involved. So i get a doctors appointment and take him in. The doctor checks him over and can't seem to find anything wrong other than the fever so decided it was viral. I then explained that William had screamed for almost 3 hours straight for no apparent reason and nothing would consul him. So he checked his ears and low and behold William has an ear infection in his right ear. :( So he is on antibiotics to clear it up. The doctor then wants to check Shawn's ears again just in case and found that his right ear drum was red at the top concluding that it was the start of an ear infection. So both of my boys are antibiotics to clear up ear infections. I have to keep William away from Shawn as best i can because of the virus that is causing his fever which by the way is not easy. Shawn has probably had around a half dozen ear infections in his 20 1/2 months of life and William is now starting on the same path BUT much sooner than Shawn. I really hope my boys don't end up with tubes in their ears.

1 month old

William is now 1 month old and has grown so much. He picks his head up, smiles, and coo's.

3 weeks already?!?!?!?!

It has been 3 weeks sense William joined our family. It's hard to believe it has been that long. It seems like i was just pregnant yesterday. We had his 2 week appointment yesterday and he is doing well. He now weighs 6Ibs 8oz and is perfectly healthy. The doctor just kept repeating that he is healthy just small. Shawn was too though so we've decided it must be hereditary. He had his heal poked and milked of blood as well for the PKU test thing. He screamed through most of it and stopped when she got to the last dot. I think he decided the screaming wasn't doing any good so he stopped. I'm just glad he is healthy. :)

3 years....

It has been 3 years from mine and Shem's first date. It's hard to believe that it has been 3 years. For our first date we went out to eat and Subway and then went to institute where we had a very awkward situation happen. The gal that Shem was sort of dating before he started dating me thought that they were exclusive, Shem was going to tell her other wise that night after institute, so rather than me sitting by Shem while we watched "Charley" she sat between Shem and I and was all over Shem's arm. Yes this was our first date and yes we were watching a romance tear jerker movie. But Shem and I continued to text each other through the movie and as soon as it was over Shem took this gal out to the parking lot and let her know that they weren't a couple and he was no longer dating her. Saddest part is she still didn't get it. She still thought he was "cheating" on her with me when we went on our second date that Saturday. Only after we got engaged did she really get the picture that things were over.

It's been a good 3 years!

Family of 4

On February 23rd, 2010 we went from a family of 3 to a family of 4. William Michael Erastus Whitehead came into our family weighing 5 pounds 12 ounces and 20 inches long and a head full of hair. The labor and delivery was amazing! It went smoothly and I was able to go completely natural. No drugs no IV nothing until after he was born. He had the cord wrapped around his neck and chest but screamed as soon as his head came out. It was an amazing birth and i'm still in complete awe of this spirit that has joined our family!
