5 Fat Turkeys Are We

Happy Thanksgiving to all!  This was the first year that we spent Thanksgiving here in town and it was really great.  My parents, sister and brother in law all made the trip down here to have dinner with us at my cousins' house.  It was a real fun time - lots of people and TONS of food!  Honestly, it was really nice not having to rush around to 3 Thanksgiving...

No one ever said it would be easy...

This blog is dedicated to all the single mothers and fathers out there.  The past 2 days I have basically been doing it all on my own since Kurtis has had a wacky work schedule.  First off, when they said you won't get any sleep - they meant you won't get any sleep!  I have been trying to make Cohen go longer and longer in the night with his feedings so that means spending more time putting that paci in the mouth and rubbing his head back to sleep.  So between pumping, feeding and soothing I am running on probably...

I was telling my friend Roleen that as each week passes by I get a sad feeling in my heart thinking about where I was when the contractions started and how I felt during labor and the instant surge...

He's here!

So 4 months later I have started my third posting...oops. Well, Cohen Lee Baumgartner decided to make his entry into the world on October 5, 2010 - 3 days late may I add. But of course he did not make his presence unknown. Labor started at about 7 am that day and by the time I got to the hospital at 10 I was already 6 cm. The stinker then decided to give us a scare and his...
