March of Dimes Walk

I have decided to walk in the March of Dimes walk in Washington, DC on March 26th. I am trying to raise 500$, so if you feel like donating please contact me. I am very excited about doing this 4 mile walk because JR and Adam are coming with me. It is very important for me to raise some money for the March of Dimes because of the nature of my job. More later...

Time flies...

Time has been flying by. I can't believe that Adam is 4 weeks old and I have to go back to work in less than 12 weeks. I have so much to do before I go back to work, it is crazy. I have to take the RNC exam on April 20th and really need to study, but everytime I sit down to do it, it seems as though the baby wakes or needs to eat. It is crazy how those three hours between feedings just fly by. I used to be able to get so much done in three hours, but now I don't know what I accomplish. Plus, Adam is awake a lot more now, and likes to be entertained and how can I not entertain him...he is so cute. Anyway, I need to study, so I will have to end this post now...more to come later.

Baby Photo Contest

So my friend Fletcher works for a local paper called the Tidewater Trader, and this paper is having a baby photo contest. She called and asked me if I wanted to enter Adam's picture and of course I did. I entered the picture posted below and one of my cousin, Emily's, photographs. If that chubby cheeked smile does not win the contest, the other contestents must be Gerber babies. Wish us good luck and if he does win I will post the winning photo.

Smiling baby....

Teeny-boppers Beware!!!

Two nights ago, I had the pleasure of going to a Twilight viewing party at a friend from work's house. It was soooooo much fun. I thought that I was a fan of Twilight (mainly the books), but these women were hard core. The was a lifesize poster cut out of Edward, homemade signs welcoming us to Forks, bloody jello shots, blood red chocolate fondue, and of couse I was one of the only ones without a Twilight tee-shirt. Plus, I was the only team Jacob person there, which made it a little awkward (they made me sit in the corner). Also, there was trivia after the movie was over. I did win one question, and won a prize. The attendees are so serious about Twilight that they are already planning the party for the release of New Moon on November 20th. All in all, it was a great first nigh out without the baby and hubby. Also, while I was there I had my first alcoholic drink in almost a year. It is dubbed the ERICA and it is blueberry vodka and lemonade. Very tasty.

Church

Today we took Adam to church for the first time...He was great. He did not cry at all, even when all of the other babies were crying. Then he came home and slept for 4 hours and so did mommy. It was absolute bliss.

Fussy Baby

Today Adam has been especially fussy today. I think it is because I had a pepsi last night. I just could not resist the caffiene, but will avoid it in the future. He finally fell asleep about an hour ago, after needing to be held all day. I think that the fussy spell of today is offically over, and I am sure glad. I will post some cute pictures that I took with my phone later...

Dedicated to Blogging

So I have decided to become more dedicated to blogging, now that I have baby Adam. I think that this is a good way for people to stay in touch. So please stay posted for new pictures and posts. I do have a lot more time on my hands, since I am on maternity leave for the time being. So stay posted...

Twilight

So I read all of the Stephanie Myers' Twilight series, and went and saw the movie on opeining night with my cousins (I know I am a dork, and not 15, but could not resist). But my friend, Leena, from work, is totally obsessed with Twilight and Edward. She is so obsessed that she invited me to a Twilight viewing party at her home next week. I am debating whether to go, because I would have to bring the baby with me. But I am looking forward to going to see everyone from work and to watch this horribly cheesy movie with my friends.

When we were speaking on the phone earlier, Leena and I were remembering the movie and how cheesy parts of it were. The most cheesy part was when Edward revealed his true self in the light. He looked like they had smeared him with Crisco and rolled him in glitter. I do look forward to seeing that part again. Hopefully the next movie will have a bigger budget and the special effects will be better. But who knows?

Basinett

The wonderful nurses at my work all pitched in and bought me this wonderful basinett. Adam has been sleeping in it so well. It even rocks like a cradle, so late at night when he gets a little fussy, I can just rock him back to sleep without getting him out of bed. He is quite the noisy little guy, making all kinds of coos and ahhs at night. I am not so sure how much longer he will last in our room, we may have to move the basinett into his room. He still looks too little for his giant crib. The basinett is just low enough that Casey can look in and check on Adam. It is so cute to see her peering over the edge of the basinett and just making sure that he is OK.

Casey has been doing pretty well with Adam. Although when he cries very loud, she still runs and hides under the bed. I think that his shrill cry is just too much for her doggy ears.

Everything is going well, but mom and dad are tired everynight. We can't wait for my mom to come back next week and spoil us a little more. All in all everything is going very well.
