So we went to the Dr. Yesterday. Laurana hasn't gained any weight this week. They want me to start supplementing her feedings iwth Formula. I really don't want to. he also said we can use pumped breast milk, so we are going to do that. Other than that things are going great. Her jaundice seems to be going away (which means she is getting enough to eat) and she is sleeping better. she actually ate 4 hours apart last night, and then 5 hours. I actually had to wake her up to eat this morning, as she was still sleeping and needed to eat. So I actually feel better this morning caue I got 3 hours and then 4 hours of sleep... so that is like a total of 7 which is really a whole nights sleep. PS.. I love Laurana's MC hammer pants in the picture (can't touch this)




Brad had a couple of friends over last night for his birthday. Grandma Gullett came over fora while too. It was a lot of fun for brad. I also went for my first walk yesterday. went around the block and saw Lee Dale. She is looking cute and pregnant.




well today is bath day so I must go and shower, and get ready to face the day. After her next feeding we are going to wash her up.. anyone have any suggestions about getting IV tape residue out of her hair?

She is adorable! Sorry, can't help with tape.. probably just warm water and time. :-)

so sweet and adorable! glad things are going well. Hope the bottle feedings work to get her to gain weight so you don't have to supplement.

u could try putting something like vaseline or lotion on the tape residue. also, with jaundice, babies are sleepy, so it's harder to get them to eat all they need to sometimes, but since her jaundice is getting better, she'll get to be a better and better eater as she wakes up more.

Well, gum usually takes peanut butter...maybe?

GLAD for the sleep! It's amazing how much better that can make you feel. All my tired mommy friends are so much livelier when I visit and baby has let them sleep. Otherwise, they look like death warmed over. :) So, enjoy the bath and the sleep and the walks and the baby!

p.s. LOVE her look in the first picture. So serious and concerned.

And happy birthday to Brad!

This is what a friend suggested:

Baby oil? I know that works for cradle cap. Rubbing alcohol gets rid of tape residue on picture frames etc. Would assume that it would be OK to use since they use it to clean the skin before injections. Maybe on a cotton ball and be very careful.

Sounds like life is getting better and better for each of you. Has anybody told you that Laurana looks exactly like her Mom when you were a baby. I'm sure your Mom can tell you how to get the adhesive out. How does it feel to be a young lady of 32?

Annevsary's and baby firsts

Okay, let see, our 4th annavsary was this week. We have been married four years. It feels a little longer. I guess we have just packed alot into it and that makes it seem longer. I am really very happy/glad, that I married brad. He has been supportive when I have been flipping out. He takes care of me, and needs me, he is calmed by me when he is flipping out, he has created the cutest little bear with me, we have shared laughs, football games, Musicals, movies, TV shows, books, basketball games, tears, hardship, lack of funs... in short, the better and the worse, the richer and the poorer, the sickness and the health, alaughter and the sorrow, I married a very specail man and I am truly blessed because of it. I can't thank God enough that He saved bard for me. As for First, this week the baby slept all night for the first time. We fed her at 9:00 pm, put her down and she doesn't get up til around 7:30. (of course if we get up early and start moving around she wakes up too) but ...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sanity

Okay so this week has been a little wild. Between getting ready for testing at school. Trying to keep students who are ready for summer focused. PMSing, Brad having his huge action research proposal due yesterday and many other little things, I have felt just the slightest bit overwhelmed. I will say that Sanjya finally got voted off American Idol. He couldn't sing, coldn't dance and there and there was really no reason he made it this far above and beyond that people wanted to see what crazy thing he would do each week. Well finally they got it through their heads that he coudln't sing and sent him packing, me and Simon Cowl were thrilled. Please continue to pray for brad, his feet and shins are still bothering him. wE think it is shin splints but we are not sure. He is giving them the 2-4 week rest period that shin splints need and if they don't get better he will go to the dr. as I mentioned above, testing starts next week, here in teh state of Kentucky, and th...
