Updates...

First off, sorry that I don't have any new pictures.... I can't find the USB cord to load pictures on to our computer. Zach is doing very well - he's liking baths more and more and is sleeping for 4-5 hours through the night. He's very playful and beginning to babble more and more. One of the funniest things he does is talk up a storm when Chris gets home from work! I can only assume he's telling him about his day. And speaking of Chris, I've got some good news and bad news.... The good news is that his tennis team won the county tourney last weekend! This is the second time in three years! Here's the link to the article in the paper on it: http://www.shelbynews.com/articles/2009/09/21/sports/doc4ab6f6124c0cc229115382.txt The bad news is that we found out last week that he has a sports hernia. He felt sort of achy in his lower abdomen and there was a small lump there, so we went to the doctor where he was diagnosed with a hernia. We meet with a surgeon next Monday to get surgery scheduled - the plan is to get it taken care of in October since I'll still be home on maternity leave and will be able to take care of him. It's outpatient surgery and the recovery time is 1-2 weeks.

Heidi is due in 5 weeks! She's got the baby's room decorated really cure in safari animals. Her baby shower is October 10. They've decided to name her Kaylan Jeannette (Jeannette is Heidi, my Mom, and my Grandma's middle name, which makes Kaylan the 4th Jeannette in the family). Heidi's sort of at that point where she's tired and achy all the time... the baby hasn't dropped yet, but I'd say that will happen any day now. Jeremy is really excited - he practically bounces off the walls like a little kid!!! That's all for now!

7 Weeks!

I can't believe my little man is 7 weeks old already! It seems like just yesterday he was born! Today he went to the doctor and got some vaccinations... it was pretty upsetting for us both. At least he's doing better now. He's doing a great job holding his head up and is working on rolling over from his back to his belly. Today he weighed in at 11 pounds and was almost 24 inches long, which puts him in the 75th percentile for both weight and length.

Over the Labor Day weekend we had our first overnight visit. The three of us went to Connersville and spent the night with Grandma Sheri and Papaw Wayne. Zach did a lot better than I expected! The only real negative was the car ride, since he HATES to ride in the car. I think it's because he's strapped in to his car seat and can't wiggle like he wants to!

On to pictures...

I'll try to do better with updating; it's hard to do with a baby as active as Zach! But as he gets bigger things get easier, and everyone says after 6 weeks things start to get easier. All I know is that he's got a personality all his own and he's completely wonderful!
