I cannot believe that Juliana is one month old already. It just seems like yesterday that I had her. She is just changing every day. She is on a more regular sleeping and eating pattern. We cannot complain. She is sleeping fairly well throughout the night. Usually her last feeding before we go to bed is 11-12 range. Then she wakes about 3 or 4am. She will then usually sleep until at least 6 or so. Sometimes it is even longer. There have only been a few days that we were up from about 1am to 5am straight.

Jason is going to take pictures for each month. I assume he will add them on here, but we are going to put them in a little frame we have for the first year of her life. It will be so nice to see how she changes and grows throughout the year. She has been so much more alert and happy. It amazes me how she smiles. I would love to capture it on my camera, but I cannot seem to get it whenever she smiles. I will eventually.

I will post more. We are going to have her baptism on Sunday and I will post again and hopefully get pictures on here. So, hopefully Jason will add picture for me so everyone can see how she looks and is growing. Until then, happy reading.

Well, just wanted to make a quick post. Things have been going pretty well. Juliana has been doing well for the most part. Some nights are better than others, but all in all I cannot complain. For being 3 weeks old she is doing pretty well. She is growing so fast. It’s almost like she changes every day.

Today Juliana’s umbilical cord fell off. I was a bit nervous at first because I could not find it. It happened to be stuck in her outfit. I have been using the alcohol swabs on it though. Want to make sure things are well and it does not get infected. I am hoping it will be more comfortable for her.

Well, I will go for now. Just wanted to update. I enjoy updating, even if it’s a small thing. It is big in my book. Well, hope to post again soon and hope to get more pictures up shortly.

Well, the night went pretty well. Juliana slept until 11 or so then got up again at 4am. Then we all got up to get ready for the doctor. She was the first appointment for the day. We had a later appointment scheduled, but the doctor had to leave early so we had gotten it switched a few days ago.

Jason was going to go, but he went to work and Ada came with us. We picked him up and off we went. The appointment was quick, but went well. Dr. Harris checked her over. She has gained weight and grew 2 inches. She went from 19 and 1/2 to 21 inches long. Her weight went from 8lbs 6oz down to 7lbs 10oz at her last appointment and up to 8lbs 14oz at this appointment.

While out, I picked up some stuff from the grocery store while Juliana slept in the car with my dad. It was good to get everything done. We are probably going down to my parent’s house later since it is my brother’s birthday. There may be some cake. Then we have to drop Jason off for his basketball tryouts.

Also we got the finalization of the baptism. We are going to have the baby baptized on Nov. 2nd at 1pm. So, all in all it has been a good day so far. The baby ate for a bit and now is fast asleep. Hopefully she will be as alert now as she was at the doctor’s office. Well, hope to post again soon. Her next appointment with the doctor is not until Dec. 1st at 9:30, so we will post other things before then. Well, happy reading.

Well, Juliana is 2 weeks old already. I can’t believe how the days are flying by. We have been mainly here at the house. Things are going pretty well. Many nights are pretty well. She has had a few nights that we did not get much sleep. I have been trying to keep her up more during the day and then she is sleeping better at night.

I called the church today to see about setting up a day for her to be christened. I will hopefully get that information squared away by the end of the week. Tomorrow is her next appointment with the pediatrician. Her appt actually got rescheduled for an earlier time. We will be there for 9am. Hopefully we will find out that she is gaining more weight. She has been eating quite well.

I am glad she is in my life. It is amazing to see how great Jason and the kids are with her as well. I just wanted to make a quick post. I will post again with an update of her doctor’s appointment. Until then, happy reading.

We were finally able to access the our365 site to see the Juliana’s picture.  So here it is for everybody else to check out.

Just wanted to make a quick post. Things have been hectic since the baby. Her first two nights home were kind of hard. Juliana had her nights and days mixed up. She seems to be getting a bit better now. She is such a wonderful addition to our family. I love having our complete little family here.

We had the first appointment with the pediatrician today. Things are well so far. We go back to see him on Oct 16th. It was a day of firsts….first dr appt, first ride in stroller, first time at Grammy and Ada’s house. Even first birthday attended. My grandfather turned 84 today. So, for dinner we had pizza at my parent’s house and then a cake for him. It was funny because today is my grandfather’s birthday and them Juliana’s next dr appt is on Uncle Matt’s birthday.

Well, hopefully I can post again soon. I am trying to do as much as I can, but still kind of sore from the surgery. I hope to post more often with new experiences. I just love being a mom to all the kids. It’s nice to get to experience from the beginning this time. She is just the most precious thing that I have experienced. In a way I was a bit sad to not still feeling her from the inside, but this is so much better. I just want to make sure she is safe and nothing will happen to her, or the other children as well.

Anyway, I will go for now. Hopefully, you all enjoy the blog posts and pictures and will keep checking in to see the progress of our miracle.

I just wanted to upload a few more pictures of little Juliana before I started running my errands and going back to see mom & baby at the hospital.
