Jonas is growing big and strong. Today we took him to the doctor and they said he weighed 13.5 pounds and that he was 24.5 inches. He has been giggling and smiling and starting to sit up with support and trying to do it more independently . He is babbling a lot and sleeping through the night, which we are glad for. Please pray for us as we decide what to do next year whether it be stay at home or work.

update

So I realized I have not posted on here for awhile, mainly because I have been extremely busy. With having a ten week old and trying to work full time it keeps me plenty busy. Jonas is doing great and growing so big. It is neat to see all the new things he is learning to do. Although, today he is fussy because he got his vaccinations yesterday, I still love being a mom. It is funny how Ben and I value the few precious moments we have together and the giant triumph of him sleeping through the night finally.

Move

so this has been an exciting couple of months for us. First we had a baby and then we moved from our apartment into a house. The house is really nice and I will get around to posting pictures later on. Well I have to go take care of Jonas for now because he is crying.

Jonas can smile! :)

Jonas learned how to smile without it just being a reflex. We say smile and most of the time he does.

So he is doing better and sleeping more he actually only gets up two times a night and I am grateful. It is pretty routine now and we are enjoying our time together as long as we are not sleep deprived. Anyhow, I am excited about this weekend and and my birthday. We actually have grandma babysitting one evening so we can go ice skating together it should be fun! :) Although, I'll miss the little munchkin.

The Baby

So I tried to post yesterday but a good example of what happens when you have a two week old is all that I mustered up writing. I wrote the and then was trapped for the next 3 hours of feeding, rocking, and diaper changing. So anyhow I finally had my baby on November 18th, 2008. He was a healthy baby boy we named him Jonas Elwood Fisher . He was 5lbs and 6 oz and was 18.5 inches long. He is now over 6 lbs so he is putting on wait quickly. I was going to write about the whole traumatic experience of having preclampsia and having to be induced but now I am too tired too. I am just thankful we are both alive becuase on Thursday of that week the doctor said if we had waited any longer to come to the doctor we would probably not be here, seeing that the only cure is to deliver the baby. All in all things are well. I am thinking about for my birthday asking Ben for one whole night of sleep. Funny how things change in just a few weeks. Here are some pictures of the little one.
