Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad

Today my parents celebrate their 32nd wedding anniversary!!
My mom came back up Tuesday night to help out while Josh is in Austin and I am SO glad she did. I had a horrible migraine-like headache yesterday and was not feeling well. Then last night she got up every time Connor cried and changed his diaper and either fed him or brought him to me to nurse. I don't want her to leave...again! The next couple of weeks she has plans and won't be able to come back up and help. :(

I think we are going to try an outing to Wal-Mart today. Oh boy!!

2 Week Check-Up

It's already been 2 weeks since Connor came into the world and today we had his check-up. The doctor said he's doing great and she doesn't need to see him at his one month check-up. Below are his stats:

Weight: 8lb, 11 oz (45%)
Head Circum: 14 1/2 (41%)
Length: 22 1/2 (95%)

So he's very long and skinny. Sound like anyone he's related to?? Like father, like son!!

Mom's gone...now what???

Now the real test of motherhood begins...my mother left town today! It has been wonderful having her here. I had a chef, maid and a nanny (who works day and night shifts) all in one. I am so jealous of my friends who have parents living close to them. Josh travels to Austin for a couple of days every week, so I think Mom might come back for those days while he's gone. I'm sure it won't take much convincing for that! Connor waited until Mimi was gone to have the WORST diaper yet. I wont go into details, but it was disgusting and took both Josh and me to clean him up. yuck!

Connor still sleeps more during the day than at night. This weekend I'm hoping Daddy will take at least one of the night time feedings. I have good intentions of taking naps during the day, but i'm lucky if I get one short one in.

We had an offer on the house, but the couple was having a hard time getting approved for an FHA loan, so they withdrew the offer. It was just as well, but I was really hoping to have it sold by now.

We have a new son!

Connor Joshua Settlemeyer arrived on June 9th at 8:00am weighing 8 lbs, 12 oz and 21 1/2 in. long. Allison had a hard labor but she and Connor are doing fine.
We are so blessed and can't quit showering him with love. He came a day before our wedding anniversary and this was definitely the best gift we could have asked for. Josh is doing a FABULOUS job as a daddy; it's taken the love i have for him to a different level and I couldn't be happier.
I am trying to add a slideshow so stay tuned...
