Katie & Nadine in 2014: Week 25

Day 169 Being a baby is exhausting! Day 170 We're getting more and more smiles from him everyday! Day 171 This sums up our day pretty well.  Day 172 Cuddles with grandma (after he puked all over her new couch!) Day 173 This picture cracks me up! I swear this kid has other outfits, Katie calls him Beyonce, because some days we change his outfit up to seven times...haha.  Day 174 I made this hat a long time ago, so I needed at least one picture with it, even though it's so hot outside! Day 175 Grandpa Patty and Fox have the same haircut!

Fox | 1 Month Update

June, 14th, 2014 Weight: 10 lbs, 5 oz Height: 22 inches Health: Fox has passed all of his newborn screenings with flying colors, he’s been healthy as can be! Nicknames: Katie has many nicknames for him: Big Honey (that’s the one she uses 99% of the time), Baby Hercules (because he is so strong), Baby Supermodel, Baby Genius and Big Stinky. We also call him bubbas, Mr. Fox, honeybear, Mr. Grumpy Pants and Crunchy Face. Eating: The beginning was tough.

After my milk came in, we slowly cut the formula and replaced it with pumped breastmilk that we fed him in a bottle until he was about two weeks old when he exceeded his birth weight.

Thoughts on Pregnancy

I thought I would never say this, but I miss being pregnant. I knew I would miss this amazing belly, but I never thought I would miss being pregnant.  Pregnancy was rough on me. I was nauseous for four long months, then had a couple of good months, before the back and rib pains started for the last three months. Sleeping was a nightmare and I always said that it's probably going to get worse with a newborn, but honestly, I sleep so much better now than I did  back then.  I remember thinking that it would take me a long, long time before I would want to do this again and if Katie would carry our next child, I would be thrilled. People always say your forget the bad things about pregnancy and childbirth immediately, and while I haven't forgotten about them, I'm ready to do this again. Not for a while of course.  I became nostalgic looking at these pictures. In the first picture, we had just found out that we're finally pregnant and couldn't have been happie...
