He Rolled Over!

Awww! My baby's growing up too fast! :(

Zach rolled over from front to back today! He'd KIND of done it before, but it was more like he was propped up and FELL over rather than ROLLED over. This time, though, he was flat on his back and rolled right on over :D And then he did it again. And again lol

And so it begins :P

A couple of new pictures

Here's a few of Zach's 3 Month pictures :) I do have a few more but I haven't processed them yet :) These are my favorites though







And in this one, he looks like me when I was little :)

Oh gosh, it's been a while

Man on man, I've been slacking on the updates.

Zach is doing GREAT! He just turned three months on the 5th :) I can't believe he's so old already *sigh*

He's a little over 13lbs at the moment, but I'm not sure how long he is.
Here's some pictures of Zach at around 9 weeks old:









Here's him and his brother as well


I've got more recent pictures, but I'm giving them to my mom for her birthday on the 12th, so you'll have to wait until after then to see them haha

We went to the neurologist yesterday for an EEG and a follow up visit. It went wonderfully! Zach's EEG came back 100% normal! They didn't see ANY of the irregularities that they'd seen in previous EEG's, no sign of epilepsy, and he passed the photosensitivity test with flying colors! They're having us wean him off of his medication by having us only give it to him in the morning (instead of in the morning and at night), and in two weeks, we can stop it entirely! :D

We've decided not to vaccinate, for now at least. We've read, and discussed at length, Dr. Sears' The Vaccine Book, as well as discussed it with both his pediatrician and his neurologist, and we feel that with Zach having had these episodes so soon after receiving his first vaccine, and with me breastfeeding and him not being in daycare, he's reasonably protected from many of these diseases. Once he gets older, we'll consider which vaccines he'll benefit from receiving, especially when it comes time to go to school.

Anyway, here's Z getting his EEG (he did NOT like those wires). I call this his "Spaghetti Monster" impression haha :) Please excuse the low quality cell phone pictures


and here's him cheesing at me while waiting for the neurologist:


Thanks for reading, and I promise to try to update more often! :)

Just a couple pictures from tonight

They didn't turn out quite how I wanted, but my Mommy Goggles make me want to show them off anyway lol!

He's growing up so fast!

Zach slept through the night last night (May 21st).... On one hand, that was a nice change. On the other hand, I'm not sure I'm ready for my baby to be so grown up yet!

But, he's doing great health wise :) Still seizure free, still hates his medicine, still constantly hungry lol

So since there's nothing really to add on that front, I'll update with some pictures :)

These were from April, right after getting out of the hospital, and most were used in his birth announcements :)









(this one's a little hard to see because it's so small, but it's our wedding bands hanging on his big toe)






Here's my chunky monkey from a few days ago


Just a reminder of how "little" he was, this was around 2 1/2 weeks (shortly after we came home from the hospital)



This is my favorite picture from Mother's Day.. It's all three of my guys :D



Here's me and him today (pay no mind to the lack of makeup mmkay?)



Ok so that'll have to tide you over for now. We're going to get his pictures done at Melton (!) tomorrow, so I may skip doing my own pictures for his 2 months. We'll see ;)

A whole month old!

Zach is a month old today! Can you believe it? *sigh* I can't believe time has gone by so quickly. Part of me feels kind of cheated because we pretty much missed out on his first week, and then the second week we really were just trying to catch our breath a bit. But then the other part of me feels guilty for thinking that because there are so many parents in similar situations who never got to bring their little ones home after all that :( We're so incredibly blessed in so many ways :)

Here's a couple pictures to tide you over.. I have more of course but you'll have to wait for those ;)

Sleeping


Making faces


Pushing up (and James was petting him lol)


That's it for now! :-*

All is well!

Everything went great!! He was supposed to have an EEG and up his medication today, but they were so happy with his progress that they rescheduled it for July and decided to leave his medication alone They said when we come back in July, if the EEG goes well, then we'll start weaning him off of the medication at that time as well
