Doctors Today


Today was Collin's one month appointment with the pediatrician. He is doing excellent. He now weighs in at 9lbs and 13oz. He has gained almost two pounds in one month. Amazing! He did have to get one shot today, but even that went pretty well. Next month is the big bad appointment where he'll need to get several shots. We've already enlisted Daddy's help for that appointment. I don't think I can do it alone! So he's growing right along and everything is good. Now if we could just get spring to hurry up and get here!

Our Story


Where to start! I am the brand new mother of the most beautiful baby on the planet. (It could be that I'm biased here.) Collin William was born on January 29th, 2008 at 7:28 am. He weighed in at 8lbs and measured 21 inches long. He was all about being even. No pounds and ounces, etc. Collin spent his first hours with his wonderful Daddy as he and Mommy had undergone an emergency c-section in order to get him here. Dan (my husband) was absolutely wonderful with him and did a fabulous job of feeding him, changing diapers and making sure that I was okay. After staying in the hospital for four days were finally able to come home. Things were a little rocky at first, but now one month later we are adjusting to our lives together and this is just the beginning of our story!
