Hook 'Em David

David got to watch his first Texas Football game today where we beat Florida Atlantic 52-10. He got in the spirit, isn't he cute?

Courtney was Christened

Ashley Rocha and Courtney Whitmire came by tonight to see David and most importantly give us food!! :-D Thanks Ashley and Courtney!! They also brought us a cute blanket with David's first and middle name monogrammed on it. It's so cute!

Here are some pictures from when they came over but the best one is the bottom where Courtney is showing off where David spit up all over her! Sorry Courtney! ;)









New shutterfly site for David pics

Laura here for my first post (because the other one, if you noticed, was Brian logged into the wrong account ;-) ). I just wanted to give everyone the address to the shutterfly page I created for David.

I will be sure to keep it updated with all sorts of pictures, so check it often!

My baby boy is growing up! :(

So David went to the Doctor today for his two week appointment and he's grown an inch and is over one pound heavier! He's just growing up too fast!! :(

Here's David's pic of the day:

Merryweather likes him

Here's a cute pic of Merryweather with David. She gets a little jealous of the attention that he gets, but she really likes him. Just like how she gets up close to us and cuddles next to us when we're on the couch, she does the same to David. Of course in this pic, it doesn't look like he likes her too much. ;-)

David's first night out!

Well, we know what all the books say about leaving your child inside the house for the first 4-6 weeks but Laura REALLY needed to get out of the house. So we all went out to Texas Land and Cattle. David seemed to like the new surroundings for a little bit. New noises, smells, lights, and all that. If you know our family, then you know that he better get used to eating out!

Things are looking up

Laura has been doing much better! Thanks for all of your prayers. It's been amazing to see how much she's improved over this week.

I was looking through some old baby pictures that my mom had sent me and I found this one. Looks like I'm the poster child for napster!

Momma Snacks stopped by!

Momma Snacks (and Pappa Snacks) stopped by today. They are better known as Rhonda and Dick Hoover. They were so nice and brought us some food today. Yum!

My first day at work was today, it was good. I didn't do anything and they had free food, so you can't beat that. ;) Laura's still feeling better too as well.

Here's David's pic of the day with Mamma Snacks:

New Job Tomorrow!

I start my new job tomorrow. Wish me luck! :)

Laura has been feeling a lot better. She's eating a lot more now and hopefully she'll be somewhere near normal in a few days.

David's doing great. We had some episodes of Niagara Falls-esque spit up today, but we managed.

Here's David's pic of the day:

I'm unemployed!

Well, I'm a loser. I don't have a job anymore. awwww, poor me. ;-) I'm excited to start my new job on Monday. It's been a long wait, but it's finally here.

Also, Laura has gotten a little better today, thank God. Please keep praying for her.

Last day at work tomorrow

It's my last day at work tomorrow! I'm going to start at CheckFree on Monday. The people seem really nice and the pay is better, plus it's closer to my house, I get more vacation, and the insurance is about 1/4 of the cost at my current job. So it's an all around win for me! :)

Laura still needs your prayers. This has been the most physically and emotionally demanding thing that Laura has gone through and she's having a tough time coping. Pray for her.

Here's David's pic of the day:

Doctor said he was "Perfect"



David had his first Doctor's appointment today and he said that David was "Perfect." Now the Doctor is an aggy but still, I'll take the compliment. ;)

Laura is still having a rough time recovering. Please pray for her.

David enjoyed looking at his cookie bouquet that our church sent us. Well, he didn't care but it was cute anyway. ;)



Merryweather has been a pretty good big sister too. Here, she's keeping a blanket warm for David.

Figuring it all out

Well, Laura had a rough night last night but she's feeling a little better. We're praying that she feels a LOT better tomorrow. I told my work today that I am leaving on Friday. I start my new job on Monday and couldn't be more excited!

As for David, He's just doing great. He's one hungry little man too! :)

Here's David's pic of the day:



That's David with his big cousin Nicolas. He's going to teach David all about Star Wars. As if we wouldn't. ;)

Return Home Pics

Here are some pics of our return home!










We're Home!!

Well, we made it home finally! In what seemed to be weeks, we spent three nights in the Hospital. Laura was doing ok, but tonight, she has just pretty much shut down. We're praying for a speedy recovery and for strength for her.

Going home... soon.

David gave us a little scare last night. His lips were turning a bit blue at some points so they put him into the NICU level II. That's basically just where they observe him and keep him warm.

Long story short, he has just been getting a little less oxygen than he needs but the doctors say that he's looking good and we're still planning on coming home today at some point.

So again, prayers would be appreciated.

Puffy doesn't want to come out.

So apparently, our unborn son (whom we've named 'puffy' at the time being) doesn't want to face the cruel realities of the world. He's now 5 days past due and there's no sign that he's coming out.

Pray that he decides to grace us with his presence soon!
