Da Havs

Okay, starting this week things have gotten easier. I imagine it’s because
1) she knows us better now and we her
2) she is officially on US time and is sleeping all through the night
3) she is starting to nap more (not on my chest) up to 1.5 hours total
4) Ryan is being an awesome big brother [...]

Okay, I just had to post this. Mike just took this picture. Caroline actually napped this morning for a WHOLE HOUR! WOO! ON THE FLOOR! DOUBLE WOO! I was thinking, Rock and Roll! But no, this afternoon NO NAP again. She was SO crabby I put her on my back and started cleaning and [...]

Mommy and Ryan went to see this awesome show together as some special bonding time. It was SO incredible. If you get a chance to see it, I highly recommend it. The tickets are outrageous, but it was totally worth it. You couldn’t use “flash photography” and I didn’t take my camera anyway, so [...]

This last photo is cute to me because she loves to try to open those drawers and Ryan was protecting them and she was hitting him to make him stop. He got the biggest kick out of it!

Caroline is doing much better. She seems to have attached well to me, which means no one else can hold her. Mike gets to hold her as long as Mom isn’t in the room and even then she moans. It makes it hard on me because I literally can’t do much. (Even pee!) My [...]

After her 20 minute crying jag, she finally passed out and the guy across the way was so nice to take this picture for us.

Anita took [...]

Jan called this morning and my phone was on the counter in the kitchen. I was upstairs bagged out on the couch while Ryan watched WordWorld. I heard the phone ringing, and raced downstairs and missed the call. So I called Dillon back immediately and got through to Jan, who said those precious words “You [...]

I called the NVC on Monday and they didn’t have us in the computer yet. She said to wait a week and then call back. Well, I am not known for my patience So, I called again today. Lo and behold, we were logged in Monday and logged out TODAY. This means our [...]
