New Family Blog

I've actually had a little time to sit down and create a new blog for the family. The new blog address is http://lotsalucases.blogspot.com. I've exported this blog to the new one and will eventually delete this blog after I've given folks a chance to get the new address.

I will not be updating Lucas Baby Watch after today.

See you at the new blog!!!

-Pam, Jeff, Jack, Michael and Nathan

All three together

I thought I'd post this quickie pic of all three of the boys together. Michael is teething and you can't get his hands out of his mouth. So this is as good as it gets.



Here is a pic of Michael sitting up by himself without his hands in font of his face.

Just a few quick pics...

I've been slacking on the blog lately, so I thought I'd take a couple of quick snapshots with the Point and Shoot camera.

Michael is starting to sit up on his own and Nathan is starting to fill out and get a little round face. Jack is his usual smiley self.

WHAT were we thinking....

Jeff and I decided to try to take the boys with us to our weight loss surgery support group meeting. I managed to get all three of them dressed, in the car and there on time. Jack was behaving and Nathan was doing what babies do. However, about 15 min into the meeting Michael got tired and started melting down. We ended up leaving about 6:30. Well at least now we know it's not a good idea and we'll just have to take turns going to the meetings. Tomorrow we have to go to my 6 week check up with my OB and then we're going to attempt to stop by a play group get together. We'll see how that goes...LOL

Happy Baby Boy

Michael is such a happy baby. It doesn't take much to make him smile and laugh.

Lost a good friend this weekend...

Donald Wayne Burge Jr. passed away Saturday January 4th @ Tulane Hospital in New Orleans. Donald and I met working at the Cingular Wireless call center, affectionately known to many as the inner most circle of hell. :-)

What can I say about Donald...
He could be a big goof, funny and sweet, but he could also be infuriating. We didn't always get along, but we were always friends. Donald was the kind of person that would always be there when you wanted or needed him to be. He'd be the first in line to help and the last to leave. When he loved, he loved BIG and you knew it. You knew he loved his wife, step daughter and family.
He was around through a lot of my infertility struggles and was so happy for us when we adopted Jack and Michael. He came to see me at the hospital the day Nathan was born. I hate he didn't get to see him, they had already taken him to the NICU at Memorial in Gulfport by the time Donald got off work. I don't think there was anyone any happier for us and our boys than Donald.

Requiescat in pace Donald

Nathan's 1mo checkup

We just got back from Nathan's 1mo checkup. Nathan and Michael also both got their Synagis shot. This is a monthly shot for RSV.

Nathan is doing well and packing on the pounds. YES, I said pounds.

At his last checkup on 12/17 he was 7lbs 1oz, today he was 9lbs 30z. Yes, he has gained over 2lbs in less than 3weeks. The Dr says he looks perfect and we go back in 4 weeks for his 2mo appt and another round of Synagis shots. Fun times for all!

We finally bit the bullet...

We knew we had to do it sooner or later...
We took all three boys out shopping this afternoon. We had to make our monthly Sam's run and this morning we decided that today was the day. I think the hardest part we getting everyone ready to go. Nathan slept 95% of the time. Michael is such an easy going baby, he's happy no matter what. Jack was a little squirrely, but you can't expect much else from a 3yo.
So now we've got that out of the way and the fear is now gone...LOL

Now I have to work to taking all three of them out ALONE... DOH!

Changing the blog

Hi folks,

I'm going to be changing the blog over to a more "family news" blog now that Nathan is home and healthy. The name and link will be changing to reflect this new status. Once I get the change over complete, I'll be posting the new link here and there will be no more updates to this blog.

The Baby Watch is over and the crazy Family life begins. WOOHOO!!!!!
