So Glen is now officially 1 week old (don’t worry, I won’t bore you all with up-to-the-nanosecond updates…this ought to suffice until the next truly monumentous event). He is just learning how much fun it is to eat and eat and eat and eat and EAT all the time. Today he gave Johanna a whole 3 hours between feedings at one point. But perhaps she is the one who should tell you all about that.

You see, earlier this week, everyone was asking me “How’s the baby doing? You getting any sleep?” and I felt obliged to make some comment about how his feeding schedule meshed with my need for rest. But Johanna doesn’t like me saying anything, because the truth of the matter is that so far, he hasn’t caused me to lose much.

Place: Somewhere around 3300 S. on I-15.

Normally I try to remember to call Johanna when I am leaving work, so she knows how long to cook dinner and when to expect me home. This day was no different…or so I thought.

After four long days of Mike trying to pull Aidens tooth, it finally came out!  We were at the grocery store waiting at the checkout stand and pop, Aiden pulled it out all by himself! This is tooth number two. The tooth fairy came last night and gave Aiden a whole dollar!  He promptly lost it.  When he finnaly found it he gave it to me for safe keeping. Later today we will go buy some candy with it. He isn’t much into saving yet.

I am still very tired all the time. It is so hard to sleep when you have little ones running around all over the place.  I am just waiting not so patiently for this baby to come out. I have decided that for the next one we are going to hire a surrogate mother from india. They need the money and I don’t want to be pregnant again!  It’s a win win situation.  Mike isn’t going for that idea yet, but he will (ha ha ha, evil laugh,)

sorry it has been so long in writing,  We have some new family pictures we need to show you all but, I don’t really know how to do it yet so Mike is going to have to do that.

On Aug 20th, I took the family on vacation to Pineview Reservoir. We would be there for four days, with oodles and oodles of time on the beach. We’d been planning it for over two months, and when the day finally arrived, my what a trip it was! And not necessarily in a good way.

Things are definitely getting exciting in the baby dept. Yesterday was our second prenatal appointment, and I went along with Johanna because this was the one where we would be listening for a heartbeat. But we got a little more than we expected – pictures!
