2 Week Appt.

Simon had his 2 week appointment today. He weighs 7 lbs 2 oz and is 19 inches long.
Weight 12%, Height 5%, Head 30% (he's got a big head!)

Life with Simon

I know all anyone cares to see is pictures (especially for all our family and friends that lives far away), but I thought I'd give an update of the past two weeks. Its been crazy! I'm just starting to feel like I'm waking up from a fog. The past two weeks have been a blur. Simon is the greatest blessing in our life, but has completely turned our lives upside down. Andrew and I have been so lucky to have my parents here to help us out since Simon was born (especially my mom!). My mom has been great and has cooked dinner for us, cleaned our apt, done laundry, watched Simon in the middle of the night and basically has taken care of our every need. She leaves Sunday night and although I know I can handle things without her (cause she has taught me well), I don't want to.

We have had fun and have ran some errands, gone out for lunch and visited with family over the past two weeks. Its nice having so much of Andrew's family close by (our apartment can get small after being cooped up day after day). Its been really hot so we haven't been able to spend as much time outside as I would've liked. Simon is great in the car so taking drives in the middle of the hot day has been a great way to get out.

Life has been hard but worth it. Simon seems to think its a good idea to have his "fussy period" during the hours of 11pm and 3am (although last night it started a little earlier and only lasted until 1!). He also got thrush at only a few days old and he's been fighting it ever since; hopefully it clears up soon.

Overall though we've been lazily adjusting to our new life. Thanks to all those who have stopped by and called to check in. I promise many more updates and pictures to come. Maybe now I'll finally start blogging more than a few times a year. Hopefully.

Nap Time

Awake and Asleep

Here is Simon, awake and asleep. If only he was asleep longer at NIGHT.

Baby Jamie

See any similarities?

Simon Day Two

Some more shots of our little man. He changes by the day.

Simon Christian Spencer

More updates and a longer post to come, but here's something to hold you over!!!

Green Day, Franz Ferdinand and Kaiser Chiefs

Driving home from work the other day I called into 101.9 The End and won concert tickets to the following:


Franz and Kaiser Chiefs should be cool to see. Green Day? Only if they don't talk between songs.

In other news, our baby is turned the right way, down right? we thought he had been relaxing sideways like he was in a hammock the whole time. Measuring a little small, but Jamie and I don't carry large genes so no big deal Dr. Says. I'm still hoping for a 4th of July Birthday - Free birthday fireworks for life.

Lake to Lake 50 mile relay_W/ Pregnant Jamie

Here is a shot of the group that went to St. George for the Lake to Lake 50 mile relay. 5 runners, our team name was 5 and a Half.
The ladies in the background seem to be checking out the pregnant girl that beat them, ha ha

Vader Attack.

Scored a Darth Vader helmet the other day, and decided to test it out on my nephews. They are crazy Star Wars fan boys. My brother told them to come look to see we if we had arrived at their house yet and they were caught a little off guard. It was hilarious.
