Not sure what to name this post...

All I know is that is has both kids in it. This post is long overdue, as usual. But last week I took Teagan in and weighed him, because it seems like he's been gaining a lot of weight. Not that it's a bad thing mind you, it's more a matter of curiosity. As a reference point, here he is weighing in at 7 pounds, 3 ounces. The goop on his eyes is routine medicine they apply to help prevent infections.

Our little bundle of joy!

I have decided to throw in a few pictures that don't relate to Teagan's weight. That way, you have a little suspense! Here's Trinity in her new hat. That's my dad in the background, sort of.

Okay, so this one is sort of related to weight, because, if you scroll up and compare this picture to the one when he was just born, there is a pronounced size difference. Cute bugger, ain't he?

Oh yeah, this one's for the ladies...showin' off the guns for y'all!

Here's Trinity in her church clothes on a Sunday. Yep, even with a little brother, she's still darn cute!

Yep, cute! Wait, what was this post about? Oh yeah, Teagan's weight!

Drum roll please...

That little moose weighed in at 11lbs 3 oz. That's a pound in just one week and it's been steady! He's already out grown clothes and he just six weeks old. Crazy. Okay, I'm done, have a good night!

Waiting For a Miracle

As many of you know, Trinity is in the pediatric ICU at St. Luke's Regional Medical Center in Boise, Idaho. She's been having seizures but as yet there is no diagnosis aas to what the underlying problem might be. Autumn and I are learning a great deal and I am getting a crash course in ICU medicine. Trinity has been sedated since Monday morning about 2am Mountian Time. She is on a ventilator, so the sedative is to keep her from fighting all the tubes. One thing we have learned is that we don't have control of this situation. It's hard because I don't want my daughter to suffer. I don't want her to have permanent damage from this. I want my daughter back because I miss her terribly. But I have to let all of that go and trust that God has our best in mind. I have to because I can't do a single thing to help her right now. So I pray and cry a little and sing to my baby. Autumn is doing the same. We have been incredibly blessed to have support from all over the ...

The end of a good thing

Okay, I am a fan of breastfeeding. That sounded weird. I don't like it for me, but for my kids. Autumn worked very hard at it, with wonderful results for Teagan and Trinity both. She was so successful that we are just now, 9 months after weaning Teagan, running out of frozen stores of breast milk for his bottles. Now, we haven't been giving it to him exclusively. He has been on cow's milk ever since he was a year old. It's been mostly for night time bottles. Unfortunately now that's over too. Here's our memorial service for breast milk: Proud mommy...and she should be! Yep, he loves him some breast milk! And now, since that chapter is over and a new one is started, we'll talk about the grieving process. Poor little Teagan will likely be going through an extensive emotional adjustment. Let's see one scenario of how it might  go: The first reaction will be typical crying. He doesn't get what he wants, so he cries. Hey, don't we all? At th...

More on the kid...

I get bored pretty easy. I get tired of the same old thing. But I discovered something. I don't get tired of my wife or daughter. Do they get on my nerves sometimes? Sure, but I never get tired of them. We went to Boise last week (or was it the week before?) for follow-up appointments for Trinity. We were there for two days because Trinity was scheduled for a follow-up MRI and they won't see her at the neurologist's office the same day as the MRI. I can see why; she has to be put to sleep for the MRI because it takes over 45 minutes and she has to stay still. Trinity can't stay still for 45 seconds, much less 45 minutes! Here are some photos from the trip: Here's Miss Smiley-Bug waiting for her turn in the MRI machine. She was having fun crawling around and trying to pull on as many dangling cords as possible. She's so much fun to be around. She barely even cried when they put the IV in her arm. She did fight a little, just because she doesn't like being hel...
