We had a good day at the doctor today and Anna gained 4 oz. since we left the hospital.  She is getting closer to her birth weight.    After the doctor, we stopped at the store and I ran in while Brady and Anna hung out in the car.  We got home and Tyler (Brady’s brother) stopped over to hold Anna – he got there just as she needed to eat, but he still got a few minutes.

Foods that affect breastfeeding

So last night went pretty well!  We were up to eat at 12, 2:00, 6:00am.  Anna is already growing I think!  We will find out if she is back up to her birth weight at the doctor today.  I am thinking she will be.    She has been a great eater, so far.

What day is it?  We are having so much fun with Anna that we don’t really know what is going on.  Yesterday (Friday, I think)  we came home from the hospital. It was so much fun to think we got to take Anna home and now we get

We are so excited to welcome Anna Elizabeth to our family! She arrived last night (April 21st) at 10:20pm.  She weighs 7lb. 9 oz.  and is 19. 5 inches long.  Both her and I are doing great!

Grow Your Own Herbs

Here is an article by Kathy Hester.  I thinks it is great for spring!

Nothing shows me spring is finally here than some of my perennial herbs like mint, thyme, and oregano finally greening up their pots. If you’re like me, you may have to scrape off some of those fall leaves you never got the time to deal with.

If you haven’t grown anything, herbs are a fine place to start. You just need a few things to get
