Generally Nathan is doing really well! He had a bit of jaundice but it went away on it's own and didn't need to be treated. His pediatrician was so impressed his weight was so good after hearing about my 2nd hospital stay. Nathan was back up to his birth weight in a week and has been gaining wonderfully every since! Medically and physically he's been doing great.

When it comes to breastfeeding he's also been doing really well. Outside of the first 2 weeks he generally eats every 3 hours and maybe once or twice a day only goes every 2 hours. He hasn't done much cluster feeding since the first two weeks because maybe he will as he hits growth spurts. Nathan eats really well and I'm so happy we haven't any problems here.


Sleeping is about what you'd expect for a newborn. While I was in the hospital the 2nd time he gave Dan some good 3 hour spurts. After I came home and started breastfeeding him again it was a little rocky for a week. Nate was so colicky because of the antibiotics I was on even though they were safe for nursing. Once that week was over and everything was out of my system we've been able to have a slightly more content baby. He seems like he's a bit fussier of a baby than Carson was. Especially during the day I feel like he always has the binky in or he's crying. BUT I have seen an increase in time of him being awake and content so I can't wait to see more of that. Being fussy is just what babies do sometimes!


Now that he's a month he generally gives me 3 hour stretches at night, sometime less as the morning comes closer and sometimes he's just up every 1.5 hours - newborn sleep is super random. Around 5 weeks he did give me a 4.5 hour stretch which I don't expect to happen again but it felt AMAZING. We all love our Nathan and the boys are still smitten by him!

We had a lot going on this weekend! Some good. Some bad. I woke up to this Friday the morning What a great way to start a Friday morning without work! I seriously have the kindest man ever. He's so thoughtful After he got out of class and before I had class we snuck in a last minute temple session . Who knew it would be so packed on a Friday mid day! I rushed (because I hate being late) but it was so worth it once you get there and just feel peace . That evening after classes and homework, we drove down to Idaho Falls for a family BBQ the evening before Logan and Amanda got married . The BBQ was great and I loved seeing all my family and meeting some of Amanda's family. I even got a picture with Sister Bullock :) All while this was happening my parents were supposed to be making the trip to IF and be there for the BBQ. I had heard briefly from my mom that Dad wasn't able to get off work and that they would be late. Then it got the point they wou

This is Important

So I've given this a lot of thought and with some advice from Dan the man, we've decided to go ahead and make our blog private from now on. This means that only those whose emails are on my readers list can view it. WHY Lately I've been thinking about the publicity and the openness of the internet and I don't want my security and my family's security to be a worry because the things I post on my blog. I realized that the reason I am blogging is; 1) For me as a journal and to record and read back on fun memories and 2) So family and friends can stay in contact and feel like we're apart of each other's lives even when we're far apart. Although the page views of all my Facebook friends and others reading my blog has been really nice (I'll admit, I like the numbers) I've realized that I enjoy some privacy more. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? This means that if you would like to continue reading our blog that I am going to need your email address

  Love My boys! Nate's face! Brooks being silly Another round of sickness in our house. Brooks always seems to get a headache, spike a fever, pass out somewhere and wake up later feeling most of the way better. This time we ended up getting cold symptoms afterwards. When I got sick I was tested and whatever it is it's not covid. Dan got it last and was sick into February. It was lingering so he tested again and it was again negative. So whatever we had was mild, still not fun and stuck around forever. We have this cute bible book about Noah's ark. Carson starts looking at it and pointing to Noah says, "Santa Claus!" Oh. yes I can see how you think that haha. So we kept telling him no, it's Noah. He points to Noah's wife and says, "Mama!" hahaha so I'm either Noah's wife (they look very old in the book) or Mrs. Claus. Not sure whether to be offended or not haha! We sold our small freezer and upgraded to this beauty! I love it! I love being
