Bristol is 7 weeks old!

It seems like just yesterday that Bristol joined our family. It doesn’t seem like it’s been 7 weeks already, but we can no longer picture our lives with out her! She has brought a special light to our lives that we didn’t know wasn’t there, until she came. We are very blessed to have both our babies.

6 weeks!

Today Bristol will be 6 weeks old! Right about now (2pm), 6 weeks ago, I was on my way from my doctor’s office to the hospital. Yesterday, Father’s day, Bristol was cracking up at Neil. This was no gas induced smile, she was totally cracking up. Long enough for me to get my camera and [...]

Four Weeks!

Bristol is 4 weeks old today! Amazing, time sure flies! She is eating more, less often (which I like!) and staying awake more during the day (luckily, not staying awake at night!) She is growing so fast, almost out of all of her size newborn clothes already! Soon, too soon, I will be back at [...]

For the love of babies

New babies brings out both the best and worst in people. Between lack of sleep and hormones, mothers aren’t always on their best behavior. One minute you are looking at your husband feeling blessed and greateful, the next you are screaming or crying or both. And Fathers sure aren’t immune to the new baby crazies either. Let me tell you, [...]
