On My Own

Well Mike went back to work today and I was on my own. I get frustrated because I want to be normal and be able to do everything that I need to do but I am just not there yet. Max had a great night! He went to bed at 11:00 and woke at 3:30 to eat then slept until 7:30 so that is great. He is a chunky monkey!! He went back to the Dr for a weight check and has surpassed his birth weight and now weights 9lbs 3oz. He seems to be a happy baby. He spends more time awake than I remember Grace doing. He just stares at my face and seems content. Last night we were watching TV and there was a woman talking about what she wanted her boyfriend to get her for her birthday. Grace looked at me and said "He should get her jewelry for her birthday. Then she would be happy!" Like mother like daughter.

WalMart Diva

While Mike and Grace were getting ready to go to WalMart, Grace wanted me to paint her finger nails. So I did. Then she told Mike they could not leave yet because she needed to put her jewelry on. She put on some beautiful earrings, a pearl necklace, a big ring and a bracelet. Now you would think that this would make her fancy enough for WalMart but think again! She came and asked me if she could put a little make up on. I said, ok but just a little. "Ok, I am ready!" She comes in my room where I am feeding Maxton and says "Mommy do you think that this is too much sparkly lipstick? Or do I look beautiful?" I told her she looked beautiful so she put on some deodorant and away to Walmart she went!

Welcome Maxton Michael

Maxton was born Wednesday March 14th at 4:17 pm. He came into the world weighting 9lbs and is 21.5 inches. He is a very sweet baby who loves to eat and loves to be held. Grace is a great big sister and wants to help with everything!! After a short battle with Strep Throat Grace and Mike were both able to come back up to the hospital. I will keep everyone posted and we hope to come home from the hospital Sun night!!

Pearls of Wisdom

At my visit to my beloved Dr Zebari today I found out all sorts of things. The following are just a few:

• Our little man now weights 7 lbs. Ouch!


• He loves Middle Eastern Food


• You should marry for love because Dr's don't make as much money as they used too. If a woman marries someone for his status the man will just age quicker and then just die!


• He looks younger than a lot of other Dr's because he is not married. But he can't tell them that because their wives will get mad at him.

Just another visit with Dr Z! He is on vaca next weeks and I have received very strict instruction not to do ANYTHING until he is back.!

Do you see the resemblance?
