Really?? I haven't updated in 5 weeks?

So, I can't believe it has been 5 weeks since I posted last... Time really does fly. That in itself gives new meaning to when people tell me to enjoy Jack cause all of a sudden he'll be grown up. He has already changed so much. I can't believe it. There are a few things I need to update everyone on. Jack cord didn't fall off FOREVER, so I had to give him spongebaths for almost a month. It was crazy. Once I could give him a real bath though, he LOVED it.

He also loves tummy time for the most part... So much so that he usually ends up falling asleep. Cute little bugger..

We took him on his first fishing trip too! They opened a little resevoir here in Cedar City. They call it The Lake on The Hill. Ha. One side is for fishing and the other is a beach for swimming. Nest year I have a feeling we'll be spending a lot of time there..

The view from the fishing side over to the beach.

Yeah....

The boy slept the whole time. Haha.

We only caught a few tiny fish, but it was fun!

On a little bit of a sad note.. Jack got some sort of bug a couple of weeks ago. He was throwing up alot. Super scary for me. We took him in to the doctor and they tried giving him some Pedialyte, and he threw that up too. He was 5 weeks old when this happened and there is a condition called Pyloric Stenosis where the Pyloris muscle (somewhere on the stomach) won't open and allow food to go through. Apparently this happens most of the time between 4 and 6 weeks, and if he had it, he would have to have surgery. Needless to say, I was FREAKING OUT! We got to the Doctors office at 10am, and couldn't get the ultrasound done till 3!! Well, he does not have Pyloric Stenosis. He just had the flu... It was a relief, but he still wasn't keeping anything down so the poor little dude had to have IV fluids. They sent us home that night and told us to give him Pedialyte throughout the night, and come back in the morning. They kept the IV in his arm and wrapped it up so it wouldn't get pulled out. He HATED it. He is doing much better now, thank goodness.

Not much else had been going on. Jack and I just hang out at home for the most part.. Adam has been home a bit more than normal this summer, which has been great. We're starting to have some fires now though, so we'll see how much he's gone! Here's a few more pictures of the little man so you can all see him. :)

He's got a little Alfalfa sprout going on here.


Sooooo sweet..

And one of Clark hangin out in the laundry.. Heehee. We still love him very much too. :)

3 Weeks old today!

I can't believe our little man is 3 weeks old! So crazy! I don't care what anyone says. He was smiling for me when I was taking pictures today. Totally on purpose. :)

This one is from a few days ago, but I couldn't help but post it. He was snuggling with his daddy right here. How CUTE!!!

Love him... Can't get enough of him...

Our little man is finally here.. We couldn't possibly be happier. He is so precious. It is crazy to think that I carried this amazing little guy for 9 months. He is as perfect as we ever could have hoped for. Here are a few pictures from the hospital and one from just the other day. I've been bad at the picture taking since we got him home, but hopefully we'll get better at it. :)

37 Weeks..

Well, we have officially hit 37 of pregnancy. I can't believe it. Jack will be here within the next 3 weeks. Unbelievable! We had our doctors appointment yesterday and he said I am dialated to a 1. That made it a little more real to me. It is actually underway. Super crazy! I'm definitely getting big, so here's a picture so you can all see what I look like now... (Of course Clark ended up in the picture. Haha. Silly Kitty..)

It's on...

Well, it seems as though fire season is slowly creeping up on us... Even though we haven't had any actual fires yet, Adam is starting to get busy already. They did a lot of cleanup on the mountain last year, and didn't have a chance to burn all the piles, so they are starting that now. He doesn't get home till later at night now, which makes me half-way a fire widow... At least I still get to have him come home every night for now. Though the overtime checks are nice, I have to admit that I am a little scared that the day will come that I will go into labor, and not be able to get ahold of him because there is no service on the mountain where they are burning... So I pray every night that I go into labor while he is already home. Like, in the middle of the night. Ha. But for now, I will wake up after he has already gone to work.. (That is after going BACK to sleep after he kisses me good-bye) I will hang out at the house attempting to clean and get fully ready for the arrival of baby Jack.. And I will eventually prepare and eat dinner by myself.. Because that is what summer brings... Me, myself and I... I shouldn't say that. I do have Clark.. The silly kitten. He is great company all day long. He actually won't let me go anywhere in the house alone. Cute thing. I have a feeling he'll be a great big brother... Haha And until he IS a big brother I get to take cute pictures of him.. Like these...

You know, it's a good thing I have family around too, or else I would manage to be the crazy cat lady while being married and having a child! THAT would be quite the accomplishment... My family is great though, and they are really good at making sure I don't get too lonely in the summers. Thanks to them Adam can actually go out and do the great job that he does without having to worry about me being hauled away to a padded room in a straight jacket. :) LOVE YOU GUYS!!

35 Weeks...
