presley lauging


I have been trying to upload this video for days. I think i did it twice and then forgot and it hasnt worked like 4 times. so here it is!

Imaginary Friend

We have an imaginary friend at our house. His name is Jesus.
It all started when Hayden started getting scared at night. We told him that he was not alone and that Jesus was here with him. We prayed, etc. It seemed to work.
Then soon Jesus started showing up alot. He would come upstairs with us and downstairs, and outside. And then in the car (thankfully we have an extra seat for Jesus in our car), and then in the bath. Hayden had just gotten off teh potty and was about to go in the bath when he says, " Jesus has to go potty to and then come in the bath too!" Okay, Jesus is going potty and going in the bath.
This morning Hayden comes down the stairs and is still half asleep and says, "Jesus is coming down the stairs to" I mean, the kid was not even awake!
I am definelty learning something from Hayden, Jesus is always with us, and he see's ALL my actions. One day He will be here and I'll have to account for them all, so maybe this imaginary friend Jesus will help me out.....and maybe he's not so imaginary!

Two week photos







Here are some pictures that Thad's dad took of Presley when she was 2 weeks old. She already has changed alot since then. Since birth, the swelling in her face has gone down, her hair has lightened, she has lengthened, i think her eyes will be blue.......and she now looks like Hayden ( or so were told).
In general Presley is a very good baby. She barely cries......the only issues were having is with nursing, and its not her, its me. My theory is that some women have lots of milk and some have less. and some is fattier than others......no matter what type of body you have. So, i dont think my milk is that great. At 2 weeks she hadn't made her birth weight, ( neither did H) ( i wasnt surprised she hadn't) so i started supplementing. She would still be hungry after i nursed her so she would get a little bottle to top her up. The doc also put me on fenugreek. After 1 more week she went from 9.1 to 10lbs! ya. So since then we have been supplementing less.....usually just in the evening.....but i think she would take about 2 more ounces after every time i nursed her. Do all you other mothers out there think your baby would eat more after you nurse? And she usually tries to eat her hands after i nurse her which also makes me think she is hungry......and she isn't terrible sleepy after i nurse her.....there is no milk coma as some moms would say. So.....well see how she does at her 2 month app. Im pretty sure she is gaining, ( might be tmi, but when i pump i get about 3-4 ounc ( every 3 hours), so she is getting milk. But im just wondering if other babies are like this.....or just mine?
Otherwise everything is good! H is enjoying her, she sleeps good. And H has been acting alot better. I think the turning point was when i changed my mindset from seeing all he did wrong to all he did right and praising him for when he obeyed. ( this kid loves him some praise!) Were still learning how to adjust with 2, but thankfully God gives you a newborn and not a 1 year old to start off with.
