We slept in today. I let Randy take Cam to school and went back to bed with Jordan. We napped until 10:30. It felt good after I overdid it yesterday. (I emptied all the trash, started the laundry, did dishes, took Cam to school, showed off the girl at work and went shopping) Today, Randy’s…

Before I go into what happened today… I have to explain what is happening in my house right now. Randy is dancing around in a very silly way trying to get Jordan to burp. And it worked. Now he’s telling her she’s too young for earings and a belly piercing while Dudley hangs out with…

I’m trying to figure out how much sleep I should allow Jordan. I have a great sleep process for a baby once she’s about six weeks old. But before that time, I’m kind of open to doing whatever needs doing to try and convince Jordan to sleep more at night compared to day. So far……

Last night around 11:45pm, Randy’s computer alarm went off to remind him that Jordan’s due date was 15 minutes away. I looked down at Jordan who was eating and smiled. I’m so glad I’m not still pregnant. It’s a relief. Jordan slept too much during the day yesterday. She decided to eat non-stop last night…

My mom went home today… And Jordan was really sleepy for most of the day. I went out for a short time to find some baby items. Foe some reason, I’m feeling a bit more worn down today. I’m also dealing with some latch problems. I know Jordan is eating a lot. Her diapers are…

Cameron finally had a chance to sit with Jordan on his lap all by himself. He was so excited. The moment I put her in his arms, he took the task very seriously. Of course, Jordan slumped into an uncomfortable position. And not long after she spent some one-on-one brotherly time, she was bawling. Cameron…

Jordan and Daddy have had some great times together already… Mostly involving sleeping. But this afternoon, Jordan and Daddy got to be home alone. I went shopping for 2 hours with my Mom. We needed to find some kind of bassinet for the girl. The man cave needs a little place for Jordan to sleep.…

Jordan got her first bath today — the cord fell off yesterday. So after Cam got his bath, he helped me bathe his sister. As she was undressed his time, he quickly noticed she didn’t have a hand. He asked what was wrong with his sister and if her hand would grow. He told me…

I actually slept between 12:30am and 5:30am this morning. I feel kind of normal today. I realize Cam slept like this as well. But it seems strange for another kid who is so calm. Jordan’s little cord stump fell off yesterday… So today we’ll give her the big first bath. Right after Jordan was born,…

I finally ordered the baby announcements. So I guess Jordan is official now. We took her to her first doctor’s appointment today. She’s 7 pounds 5 ounces — not a bad weight loss from her birthday… That puts her in the 30th percentile for weight. Her head circumfrence was 35 1/2 centimeters – 50th percentile.…
