Believe it or not we actually made it to midnight (mainly because JT had just finished a bottle). He sadly missed the ball drop by about 2 minutes, his head hit the swing and he was out. Everyone says he's getting bigger, I guess when you're with them every day you don't see it as easily. Although the way he's eating lately I can't imagine that he's not growing!
I've reorganized the flickr photos into month folders (I figured 52 week folders would get old after awhile). Link should be the same, but here's a direct link to the month 2 pics http://flickr.com/photos/catsmine/sets/72157603612675320/
Check out my (I mean JT's) wishlist, I continue to find awesome items!
Wednesday
Merry Christmas . . . a day late
Sorry - we were busy unwrapping JT's presents. Think he's a little spoiled? Mind you, only 2 of these came from Mommy and Daddy. Can you even see JT in the midst of this chaos?He spent most of the day crying (no, I DO NOT think the Santa suit traumatized him), but then gave us a wonderful gift last night by sleeping for almost 6 hours!
Today we ran errands using our front carrier - very nice! He slept through Lowes, Babies R Us and Meijer.
We had gone to the doctor on Monday - 11 lbs. 5 oz. and 22 inches long. She seems to think we might be feeding him too much . . . 3 pounds in 3 weeks, seems fine to me, after all, it is the holidays.

Dooce is one of my favorite blogs, but this entry was particularly meaningful to me. It makes me feel better that I cut things off when I did and went back on my meds.
And this is the perspective from her husband - thank you Jim http://blurbomat.com/archives/2007/12/20/how-i-do/

The sound of silence
Several months ago Jim and I were eating dinner out and noticed a couple sitting in silence at their table - not speaking and looking somewhat miserable. I pointed them out and commented that I hoped we never run out of things to talk about. I'd forgotten about that until the other day when Jim reminded me as we had sat silent in the car (Wee Man was sleeping, he does that - in the car, not the house).
"Remember when you said you hope we never run out of things to talk about?" Jim said.
"Yes, why?" I replied.
"Do you think that couple just had kids and was appreciating the sound of silence?"
I thought for like a mili-second, "Hmm, yep - now shut up and enjoy the silence."
Over the last week we"ve been visited by the spirits of future child - no past, no present - two futures . . . 11 months and 2 years. For now I'll stick with sleep deprivation in lieu of completely losing my mind.

Monday
Who Dey!
Or as Aunt Amy said - Who Don't (this season at least). We're 3 weeks old today! He's sleeping about 4 hours at a time at night (I'll take it!) We're still sleeping in the living room, but he's in his bassinet at least.
He takes about 4 ounces of formula, occasionally 5, and makes about a zillion ounces of gas and poo each time!
Saturday
Oh, so that's why they sell so many of those.
I've discovered 2 things that every new mom should have (well actually there's a zillion, but these are the 2 most important this morning).
Anything that vibrates. JT loves his little seats that vibrate and we've taken to adding a vibrating pillow to the bassinet to help him sleep - very important.
Those stupid birth announcements they sell everywhere. I was trying to be creative and unique - I've given up and decided to sleep instead. I'm ordering my announcements like everyone else does - so much easier. Those should be in the mail by 2008 (I hope).

Sunday
Repeat after me, "everything will be okay"
Now I just have to believe. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm medicated - I don't hide it, I let people know., I have issues with anxiety and depression and have been taking something for years to help.
Shortly after JT was born I was okay, but once we got home things started getting worse. Long story short I've stopped breast feeding and I'm going back on my pre-pregnancy meds. I'm hopeful that within a week things will get better. Until then I am so lucky to have the most wonderful, supportive husband and an amazing family.
