That’s right, Reese and I will be preparing to head to Maryland tentatively Feb. 11th – 13th. My dear friend Mandy emailed me the other day when I mentioned that we had scheduled Reese’s baptism saying that she would “be honored” to sew Reese’s baptism dress. It brought me to TEARS thinking of that. It’s so wonderful to be surrounded by such wonderful friends. She is a VERY talented seamstress… she has her own business of making custom diaper bags. Mandy has SPECIFICALLY made Reese’s Monkey Costume and 2 winter rompers as gifts. I’m always so impressed not only as being a wonderful friend, but a fantastic seamstress. Here’s the basic design, which will be more fine tuned over the coming weeks… as well as if we are able to get together. This is all dependant on the health of her grandfather in Washington. He and her family are in my thoughts and prayers.
It will be a TON shorter, but you get the idea.
I just LOVE listening to Reese laugh and talk. I’m waiting for a word to pop out of those big “ahhhs.” It will be completely freaky when she does it… I don’t think I’m 100% prepared, but I have a while until I worry about that.
I was able to grab a few actual smiles from our lil’ Monkey, excuse me, “Tank,” the past few days, so look for them when I have a chance to upload her 15 week photos.
Reese had her second chiropractor appointment Tuesday! I asked if we could wait 20 seconds for her to spit up before i picked her up because i didn't want her pukin' on me. Not more than 15 seconds after I said that did lil' miss let out the loudest burp ever! Then Mark and I got to talking with his wife, and about 5 minutes later, Reese exploded in her pants. Mark laughed and said "Well, if it doesn't come out one end, it'll come out the other.... some of my patients actually come to me if their kids are having problems going to the bathroom. Some refer to me as the 'Poop Doctor'."
As I was leaving, I was also given a gift basket full of good smellin’ stuff and things for me! Heather put it together for me because I was the first person to have someone referred to their practice (Reese) AND it was a “Congratulations.”
Hope everyone had a great weekend!!
Where has the week gone?
Thursday, January 13, 2005
(3 months 1 week 2 days)
Reese has done so super in her crib. She’s been sleeping THROUGH THE NIGHT in there. She’s usually out by 8:30 – 9:00PM and sleeps until 6:30 – 7:30AM, this is all dependant on how wet/poop filled her diaper is. I crack up every morning when Scott says “Sue, I’m always amazed at how much pee these diapers hold.”
Reese is trying SO hard to roll from her back to her stomach. She’s got the stomach to back down pat…as Scott told me the other day when I yelled in “She rolled over onto her back!” He yelled back “yeah, yeah, that’s child’s play… we are working on the back to front now. “
Linda, Reese and I headed over to Rolling Acres Mall because the JCPenny’s outlet had ALL their Carter’s, Disney and other name brand infant clothes 70+% off. I got 3 $30 outfits for $20. Linda racked up on a $30 winter coat for only $4.99!!! It’s a really cute winter coat, and I know that Reese will love it.
On another topic, Reese hasn’t been eating all that much as she was a few weeks ago, think that confirmed my suspicion that she was going through a growth spurt. I did purchase a few more slow flow NUK nipples. Some of the ones I had prior I couldn’t tell which ones were slow flow or fast flow…. These are clear, so no mistaking them! Reese really only takes a bottle when she’s at Grandma Linda’s. I’ve become COMPLETELY comfortable with nursing in public. Nothing like whipping out the onboard food feeder in the middle of the bread aisle at Wally-World to calm down a screaming Reese. However, just like Rebecca was always so impressed that I could completely change in the basketball stands between games without showing anything, this is yet another talent that I’ve been able to incorporate into breastfeeding. Target nursing tanks are FANTASTIC! They are regular tanks that have the nursing bra built in. I wear them under my normal clothes and tops to my PJ’s for possible late night feedings and definite morning feedings.
I must also commend my husband, after I have forgiven him for not informing Santa to stop by my stocking, or at least leave more than a Peez dispenser and to please put the refills in MY stocking and not in his…. He did pick up the correct breast milk freezer storage bags without me having to remind him…. AND, I had a wonderful surprise waiting for me in the mail, he told me to open it.
Scott purchased a ring for me before Christmas, for my stocking, but it didn’t get here in time… but it’s a ring with Reese’s birth stones! It’s a Sterling Silver Australian Opal and Pink Tourmaline Ring:
It’s a fraction too small… he thought I wore a 6, but I’m a 6 ¾’s!! I might be thin, but my knuckles are huge. So I’m debating on returning it for a 7 and wearing it a bit big… or taking it somewhere to have it resized.
Well Reese is still napping… she’s been napping since around 8 and it’s going on 11:15. I’m not complaining… she’s had a busy week!
I've uploaded her 14 week photos under the 3 month section. I might need to dwindle down some of the photos and just lump them all into month categories... i.e. October 4 - November 4, etc. We'll see.
Infant Chiropractic
Tuesday, January 11, 2005
(3 months 1 week)
Just to give everyone ONE more bit of info to think that I'm off my rocker... Reese had her first Chiropractor visit today!! She had it done after me... and boy did I need it!!
Reese did FANTASTIC, didn't even realize she got adjusted. She LOVED Mark. She was laughing and smiling at him the entire time. Reese and he had an entire conversation while she was on her back looking up at him upside down. So if she was at ease with him, then I knew i had NOTHING to worry about.
I'm glad we went... I thought that there might have been some sort of issue in her back because every time she's on her stomach before she rolls or on her back and trying to roll on her side she spits up. She promptly spit up about 20 seconds afterwards. Mark said it was PERFECTLY normal and she has good vertebra movement with the little bit that he did do. Reese had NO clue what had just happened either, she was too busy looking at me and figuring out where she was.
Mark did say as Reese gets more adjustments she has the less spit-uppy she'll be!
It was sooo cute too.... Mark was going over what he would be doing to Reese to put my mind at ease, though I was 100% trusting of him. Come on, he's got a 2 1/2 year old daughter (Riley), his wife only does children's chiropractic and she (heather) just told me today she's expecting!!! And what's funny is that they loved Reese’s name so much that they are going to name their second child Reese!
So I just wanted to let everyone know that there is an option out there if you so choose. And it's completely safe! I was worried about starting out Reese this young and mark said that he or his wife will goto the hospital within the first hour of the baby being born and adjust them there! Will have to make note of that next time!
Here are some links if you are interested in learning more!
Then this morning on Good Morning America, they had a story about women who are selling their breastmilk over the internet. Dr. Tim Johnson wasn't an advocate of this because it can be potentially deadly, and said that the best and safest thing to do, is to go through human milk banks. There are 8 in the US.
But it was interesting to see that women are actually selling their milk on eBay, swapping it through message boards and other means of obtaining breastmilk. As soon as they post it on their site I'll post the link to the story.
Very interesting.
And just as I posted the update... I found the story on GMA's website:
More Mothers Sharing Breast Milk More Women Exchanging Breast Milk on the Internet; Doctors Warn of Health Risks
Jan. 11, 2005 — The practice of sharing breast milk is nothing new. It's been going on for centuries, dating back to the era of wet nurses. What is new is a practice in the United States in which women, often perfect strangers, are finding each other on the Internet and exchanging breast milk.
When Jenn Connel underwent a double mastectomy she worried she would never be able to breast-feed her future children. So when she became pregnant with her first child, she turned to a milk bank for help.
"The estimated cost of a six-month supply of milk was $17,000 if I bought breast milk from a milk bank," said Connel. "I'm not independently wealthy, so I certainly couldn't afford that."
Hesitant to feed her baby formula, Jenn created a Web site to solicit potential donors. The response to her request for private breast milk donations was overwhelming.
Among the women who responded and agreed to send frozen milk was Shannon McElearney.
"It was still an emotional decision, since I had worked very hard to provide that milk and had saved it for my son," said McElearney. "But I knew he would never be able to go through all the milk I had saved and this was a way to give it to a baby who otherwise wouldn't have gotten any."
In the wake of recent studies that show breast milk reduces a baby's risk of infection, sudden infant death syndrome and even of childhood cancers, mothers are increasingly turning to chat rooms — even mainstream sites like Craig's List and eBay — in search of women with milk to spare.
The trend concerns Laraine Lockhart Borman, the director of the Mother's Milk Bank in Denver. "Getting milk from an unscreened donor via the Internet would be a very dangerous proposition," she said.
But Connel, now the mother of two boys, says until insurance companies start covering the processing fees of milk banks, it's more economical and often just as safe to seek out private, pre-screened donors.
"They are truly angels," said Connel of the women who donated milk. "I would not have been able to feed my children breast milk if it wasn't for all these women."
Connel went through extraordinary measures to screen the women who donated breast milk, including working with her doctor to screen donors and prepare questionnaires. She even had the women submit results of blood tests their own doctors conducted.
Not all women take these precautions, and the practice of donating breast milk — particularly through venues like the Internet — remains controversial in medical circles. La Leche League, the breast-feeding advocacy group, and the American Academy of Pediatrics say they don't recommend it.
ABC News' Dr. Tim Johnson, appearing on "Good Morning America," warned that the practice poses a number of health risks.
"Breast milk is often called white blood, because it can carry the same diseases as blood," said Johnson.
Breast milk can carry viral infections such as HIV or hepatitis and even traces of illegal and legal drugs, he said. The milk can also be exposed to bacterial contamination during shipping.
Johnson recommended that women who want to breast feed but cannot contact one of the eight licensed breast milk banks in the United States.
And if a woman can't afford to go through a breast milk bank?
"Formula is fine," said Johnson. "Millions of people have been raised on it in this country."
Baptism Official!
Monday, January 10, 2005
(3 months 5 days)
Reese’s baptism is scheduled for Sunday, March 13th, 2004. Reverend Brown’s assistant got back with me today to go over the particulars. I contacted my mom and let her know and she’s going to fly up for this special occasion as well… now to figure out what dress to get Reese!
I also ran by our local newspaper and picked up hardcopies of the issues Reese’s and our ads were in. They turned out so great! Linda said she’d already gotten a call from her best friend saying she had seen Reese in the paper and “couldn’t believe how small she was!” I think the photo of Scott holding Reese in his hands is deceiving because most people think it was me holding her.
It’s amazing how much our lil’ Monkey, excuse me “Tank,” has developed over the last couple of weeks. Sunday, 3 months 5 days, Reese tried SO hard to flip from her back to her belly! She made it about ½ way over, but couldn’t get the rest of herself over… but any day now! Linda said Reese tried all day to roll onto her stomach, but just couldn’t get that body over or her arm out to finish the roll. We taped her today trying to do it… along with a LOT more talking.
Scott rewound the tape for me to look at it while I was keeping Oreo in the other room… Oreo is jealous of Reese’s camera time. I picked up Reese while Scott held the camera up for us to see…. As soon as Reese saw herself and she talking back to Scott in the camera she started to wiggle in my arms and LAUGHED OUT LOUD at herself. OVER and OVER and OVER again. I told Scott that we needed to hook up the tape to play on the TV and tape her watching herself. It was so darn cute!
I had an idea that I had been contemplating the other day to try, and one of the gals in my playgroup did it with her son, I got Scott to hold Reese in front of our massive bathroom mirror to see what she’d do. It was so cute!!! She was laughing HYSTERICALLY at herself, smiling and talking. I got stills as well as video of it. We couldn’t stop gushing over how amazing our daughter is.
Due to my “Mommy Brain” I failed to make Thursday’s chiropractic appointment, so I rescheduled for tomorrow at 2:30. Will letcha know how that goes… I for one can’t wait, my neck is all out of whack.
Stay tuned…. Scott swears that Reese will be walking by next week. Toodles!
More firsts!
Sunday, January 09, 2005
(3 months 5 days)
This morning Reese attended her first Church Service (3 months 5 days). I had found a local Methodist Church in our area so Scott and I ventured out to see how it would be. The people were SO INCREDIBLY NICE! The minister was even from Virginia! Small world eh? Reese did really well except that we were interrupting her morning nap time and the fact that she unloaded in her diaper. I walked out with her a couple of times before communion, to have the nicest ushers chat with me and Reese. We were told that they really couldn’t hear Reese and to not be afraid to sit down, she really wasn’t causing a scene. I really felt at home there. After communion Scott took Reese in the hall for a few minutes before service concluded and on the way out we were stopped by several lovely people introducing themselves and one even commented how cute Reese was going up with Scott and I to communion. Scott and I spoke with the pastor after the service to introduce ourselves and also inquire about baptizing Reese. I’m to call on Monday to speak with the main office.
Yesterday we also went for Reese’s 3 month photos at Sears. NIGHT AND DAY in comparison with JCPenny’s Portrait Studios. Scott and I were so impressed with them, and didn’t hurt that because we had a coupon that we got this 50% off, we joined their Portrait Club for $15. I should have listened to my mom when she said to go there first anyway…. Oh well, live and learn right?
Here are the photos taken, we ordered the first two, but got all of them in a proof sheet to keep.
We purchased both of these:
(Scott insisted on this one..."His two favorite gals")
And these were on our proof sheet we purchased seperately along with the previous two:
This weekend also marks the first week of Reese sleeping in her crib. It’s been very weird not having her either in the bed beside me or beside the bed in her cradle… but she’s close enough that we can hear her whimpers. She had been waking up at 1:49AM two days in a row… yes, the same time every morning… I’d feed her and she’d either go back to sleep and return to her crib or just stay in bed with me, because well, I’d fall asleep. However, night before last she put herself back to sleep and slept until around 5. Last night she woke up at 2:22AM screamed, went back to sleep…. Then woke again at 5:45AM wiggled a bit and put herself back to sleep until 7:00AM! WOO HOO! Success!
The was a bit cranky today, but I think that this was due to her fractured nap this morning during church, then going to Super Wally-World and then coming home to fighting nap time. I can tell that Reese’s nervous system has been developing leaps and bounds the past two weeks. Scott’s been doing “tickleies” on her stomach and she bunches her whole body up and does this BIG gummy smile and the “gahhh” sound like she so WANTS to laugh…. While in the tub, which we started a whole 1 ½ hours early because she was so fussy. I was swirting her with the toys on her tummy and she’d start kicking like MAD and big grins. I swear she did this all over kicking/moving/talking for a good 10 minutes, I think she finally fell asleep due to tuckered-outness.
BUT, there was another FIRST that happened today (3 months 5 days). SHE LAUGHED. A TRUE LAUGH. She's giggled before when we have gone to wake her up... Scott said "Look, we woke her from a good breastfeeding dream. " But this first laugh has to do with our child’s fearlessness. I joke that we will have to watch her flying from furniture or off the roof’s of buildings because she isn’t scared of anything! She will WAIL if you don’t have the swing on high when she’s in it, and the only way to get her to smile when she’s REALLY PISSED is if Scott puts her in his arms, facing him with her legs bent so she’s cradled securely, he then squats her as fast as he can one big drop at a time. She GRINS and GRINS. She USED to do the Morrow Reflex, but that stopped around month 1. I think it has something to do with how tall Scott is, 6’4”, and she likes that feeling in her stomach. Anyway, I digress…..
While Reese was crying, Scott couldn’t settle her, neither would the swing, nursing, laying flat, music, walking, “jugh-ing (MIL’s method ),” patting on the back or “Super-Baby (but she gets heavy after a while).” I then took Scott’s “free-fall drop” and tweaked it a bit… I figured, hey, she was upside down for about 7 of her 9 months in the womb, so she probably wouldn’t mind doing a bit of upside down motions. I cradled her VERY securely the same that Scott does when just doing a fast squat but instead of doing the squat, I did a BIG swing down and back up… and BLAMO, there was a LAUGH!!! I did it again, and MORE laughs, giggles and grins!! Scott was standing RIGHT beside me eating his animal crackers while I was doing it. He said “I’ve never had her do that before!” I guess it was a mom’s touch? Hey, desperate times were calling for desperate measures.
So the fact findings of how to calm down Reese and get her to laugh…. Cradle her out in front of you laying on her back facing you, with her legs bent under her (against your belly) and bend down like you are going to tie your shoes and swing back up.
We have a crazy kid… and her new nickname will be “Tank.” (Thanks Bruja & Super Dave )

I have almost 200 oz of frozen ebm and it's taking over our freezer!
I don’t want to throw any away, so I'm going to do all the necessary steps to see if I can't give it to them to use for sick or fragile infants. Sooooo.....
Warms my heart to know that instead of my milk going into the trash, I can put it to a good cause.
I'm to hear from them next week to star the screening process. I'll keep you posted.
Among the list of firsts...
Reese had her first outing with Grandma Linda today! She went to the Spaghetti Factory in Akron to have lunch with "the ladies." Poor thing was stopped up with something, I don't know what I ate if anything, weird in the past few days. Musta just been something in her system. Reese finally pooped when Linda got home, and ate a bit more... but was still fussy.
On my message board there was an interesting article posted and just thought I'd pass the information along here:
Breastfeeding your baby for even a day is the best baby gift you can give. Breastfeeding is almost always the best choice for your baby. If it doesn't seem like the best choice for you right now, these guidelines may help.
IF YOU NURSE YOUR BABY FOR JUST A FEW DAYS, he will have received your colostrum, or early milk. By providing antibodies and the food his brand-new body expects, nursing gives your baby his first - and easiest - "immunization" and helps get his digestive system going smoothly. Breastfeeding is how your baby expects to start, and helps your own body recover from the birth. Given how very much your baby stands to gain, and how little you stand to lose, it just makes good sense to breastfeed for at least a day or two, even if you plan to bottle-feed after that.
IF YOU NURSE YOUR BABY FOR FOUR TO SIX WEEKS, you will have eased him through the most critical part of his infancy. Newborns who are not breastfed are much more likely to get sick or be hospitalized, and have many more digestive problems than breastfed babies. After 4 to 6 weeks, you'll probably have worked through any early nursing concerns, too. Make a serious goal of nursing for a month, call La Leche League or a certified lactation consultant if you have any questions, and you'll be in a better position to decide whether continued breastfeeding is for you.
IF YOU NURSE YOUR BABY FOR 3 OR 4 MONTHS, her digestive system will have matured a great deal, and she will be much better able to tolerate the foreign substances in commercial formulas. If there is a family history of allergies, though, you will greatly reduce her risk by waiting a few more months before adding anything at all to her diet of breastmilk. And giving nothing but your milk for the first four months gives strong protection against ear infections for a whole year.
IF YOU NURSE YOUR BABY FOR 6 MONTHS without adding any other food or drink, she will be much less likely to suffer an allergic reaction to formula or other foods later on; the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends waiting until about 6 months to offer solid foods. Nursing for at least 6 months helps ensure better health throughout your baby's first year of life, reduces your little one's risk of ear infections and childhood cancers, and reduces your own risk of breast cancer. And exclusive, frequent breastfeeding during the first 6 months, if your periods have not returned, provides 98% effective contraception.
IF YOU NURSE YOUR BABY FOR 9 MONTHS, you will have seen him through the fastest and most important brain and body development of his life on the food that was designed for him - your milk. Nursing for at least this long will help ensure better performance all through his school years. Weaning may be fairly easy at this age... but then, so is nursing! If you want to avoid weaning this early, be sure you've been available to nurse for comfort as well as just for food.
IF YOU NURSE YOUR BABY FOR A YEAR, you can avoid the expense and bother of formula. Her one-year-old body can probably handle most of the table foods your family enjoys. Many of the health benefits this year of nursing has given your child will last her whole life. She will have a stronger immune system, for instance, and will be much less likely to need orthodontia or speech therapy. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends nursing for at least a year, because it helps ensure normal nutrition and health for your baby.
IF YOU NURSE YOUR BABY FOR 18 MONTHS, you will have continued to provide the nutrition, comfort, and illness protection your baby expects, at a time when illness is common in formula-fed babies. Your baby is probably well started on table foods, too. He has had time to form a solid bond with you - a healthy starting point for his growing independence. And he is old enough that you and he can work together on the weaning process, at a pace that he can handle. A former U.S. Surgeon General said, "it is the lucky baby... that nurses to age two."
IF YOUR CHILD WEANS WHEN SHE IS READY, you can feel confident that you have met your baby's physical and emotional needs in a very normal, healthy way. In cultures where there is no pressure to wean, children tend to nurse for at least two years. The World Health Organization and UNICEF strongly encourage breastfeeding through toddlerhood: "Breastmilk is an important source of energy and protein, and helps to protect against disease during the child's second year of life." Our biology seems geared to a weaning age of between 2 1/2 and 7 years, and it just makes sense to build our children's bones from the milk that was designed for them. Your milk provides antibodies and other protective substances for as long as you continue nursing, and families of nursing toddlers often find that their medical bills are lower than their neighbors' for years to come. Research indicates that the longer a child nurses, the higher his intelligence. Mothers who nurse longterm have a still lower risk of developing breast cancer. Children who were nursed longterm tend to be very secure, and are less likely to suck their thumbs or carry a blanket. Nursing can help ease both of you through the tears, tantrums, and tumbles that come with early childhood, and helps ensure that any illnesses are milder and easier to deal with. It's an all-purpose mothering tool you won't want to be without! Don't worry that your child will nurse forever. All children stop on their own, no matter what you do, and there are more nursing toddlers around than you might guess.
WHETHER YOU NURSE FOR A DAY OR FOR SEVERAL YEARS, the decision to nurse your child is one you need never regret. And whenever weaning takes place, remember that it is a big step for both of you. If you choose to wean before your child is ready, be sure to do it gradually, and with love.
Obsure Factoids
Thursday, January 06, 2005
(3 months 2 days)
I have been keeping a mind log of certain "talents" that I've acquired in the past 3 months:
1. Being able to use my chin as a third hand 2. Playing Reese's feet like a kazoo 3. Changing Reese in the middle of a store (on the floor) in less than 1 1/2 minutes 4. Devouring a 3 course meal in no time flat before someone gets fussy and wants to eat (this can also apply to my husband ) 5. Making my tongue and bottom lip to go rubbery so that Reese and I can play the "pppptthhh" game 6. Bending down to pick up a laundry basket with Reese on the other hip, not easy let me tell you.. it's like asking a 9 month pregnant woman to bend down and tie her own shoes 7. Being able to have a fully packed diaper bag, breast pump backpack with cooler loaded, car seat with securely fastened child, frozen lunch, sometimes stuff to make breakfast at work, cell phone and KEYS all on my person and make it down the steps, to and into the car without dropping anything. 8. Using my teeth as a 4th hand. (see #1 for 3rd hand)
I'm sure there are more weirdo things I've found myself doing since becoming a "Mom" but can't think of them now...
To add to my Husband's ever growing silly statements and vocabulary. One of his many "Scottisms":
Furosity 'fur-os-ity' (adj.) - Conjunction of "ferocious" and "velocity." Describing Reese's poops and most recently pees. We were doing a handoff in the bathtub and I had my hands between her legs so that she wouldn't roll to one side and as soon as I was getting her down in the water it was like an underground spring of pee... I FELT it on my palm. Not to mention that she peed on the sheet I was using in the earlier post today.
Scott's usage of this word in a sentence, please use a British accent when saying it: "Reese has tremendous furosity!"
Onto the next bit of weird things.... the things people do searches for and end up on this site!
If you can't look at it and tell (you can always click it)... it's for PLASTIC PANTIES!!! Reese's site comes up about 6th item down. I DIED laughing when I saw that.
Some of the other searches conducted and people happen upon this site:
valspar color wash swatches (HOLY COW! We are #3 in Yahoo with this!)
daddy and baby bjorn
facts about epidurals and tattoos (her site is actually the 4th one listed from the Google!!)
boobs over loaded milk (This one made me laugh so hard!)
HOW DID YOU LOG YOUR BABY SCHEDULE DURING FIRST MONTHS (Scott will be mpressed to read this one)
"Perineal Cold Packs" Buy online (actually have had several versions of this as of late)
"puppy doesn't bark" <--- How crazy is this?
PBS specials watching c-section being done
"shower photos" 2004 baby
cankles <- 4 people have found Reese's site by searching for cankles!
There are a few others, but they are either boring or people have stumbled in here looking for something that it's no where NEAR being.
Sorry for the weird info.... just couldn't help it! See Reese's Recipe of photos. They will also bring you a smile!
