18 weeks

Dear Levi,

This week you are 19 weeks old.
You have eaten pears, peaches, avocados, and bananas. You like them all and so far no allergies! Nutramigen is like the miracle fix for your spit up. Thank goodness. Tomorrow is your jest 4th of July and I am very exited. Today you got up on all fours and tried to crawl. I can't believe you are doing this already. My baby boy is NOT old enough to crawl. You are wearing 6-9 month clothes. You love your toys and love standing up with our help. I can't believe how amazing you are!

We love you so much!

Love, mommy

Love/hate

Dear nutramigen,
I love you. My child hasn't spit up in nearly 6 days.
Love,
Peyton

Dear nutramigen,
I hate you. You cost $37 a can that lasts us 5 days. You + Prevacid = my financial demise.
Sincerely,
Peyton

Is his Robey showing?

17 weeks

Dear Levi,
I can't believe that this week you are 17 weeks old.  You weighed 14 lbs. 4.5 ounces today at your appointment.  You were 26 inches long on Thursday.  You gained 4 ounces over the weekend.  Good for you! We decided today to put you on Nutramigen.  It's a new kind of formula for milk allergies.  We will see if it works.  The doctor says that if it doesn't help we are going to go see the GI specialist.  You are such an active little guy.  You love standing up (with my help of course) and jumping up and down.  You love playing with your activity gym.  You are still looking like you want to crawl.  At mom's group this morning you put your legs up under you and tried to push up on your elbows.  You tried avocado and pears this week.  You seem to like them despite the effect they are having on your bowel movements.  You got to go to Waco this week to see Daddy.  One day when it's NOT 108 outside we will have to take you to see the bears and walk on the suspension bridge.  It was toooo hot yesterday though.

I love you so much baby boy.  I'm so happy that you came in to my life a year ago.  And while I miss you being my personal heater and feeling your kicks inside of me.... I love that you are here with me giggling and laughing and kicking and playing and growing and learning.

Love,
Mommy

One Year Ago

One year ago today, William and I found out that we were pregnant.  It was a dream come true and an answer to so many prayers.

 God is good! He can turn this....

 Into this!

(excuse my drugged out state)

 Be still my heart.
