Murrow is endangering my hard drive space.  We sat him up on his Eeyore chair and I was trying to take a picture to put into the frame Kim got me for Father’s Day.  I took about 20 pictures with the intention of just keeping one or two of the best ones….but at the end of… Continue reading Baby vs. Hard Drive

Murrow is officially the cutest during his “tummy time”.  Kim will lean him up against his boppy and we get to watch him try to lift and control his head.  He loves it … but not necessarily as much as he loves eating his forearm.  Supposedly he’s beginning to be able to follow objects with… Continue reading Tummy Time

Murrow seems to get the hiccups about twice a day and they can go on forever.  It’s been that way since he was in the womb, so he’s used to it.  However, since Kim and I will never get used to it, I made up this song that we sing to him to help him… Continue reading The Hiccup Song

As Kim is working hard on getting Murrow back to sleep (yes I’m slacking in the living room during this), this picture is a nice reminder of what can happen.  He’s so gorgeous when he’s sleeping or when he’s awake … it’s the middle stages that are killer. 

While Kim was hooked up to a bunch of machines the day after the delivery, we watched Jurassic Park to fill the time.  Early on in the movie, they’re watching a dinosaur hatching out of an egg in the labratory and one of the main characters gasps “You’ve Bred Raptors!”  From then on, every time… Continue reading Glossary: Raptor Baby

Feel free to skip over this posting…it’s gross, but for us it was a big deal.  His cord finally fell off and revealed the cutest little button.  What do we do with the cord scab thing?  It is just a nasty little scab, but we can’t bring ourselves to get rid of it.  I’m just… Continue reading Hello Belly Button

These first few weeks are totally bipolar.  When Murrow is eating and sleeping well, we feel like the best parents on earth.  We’ll pass by a crying baby and scoff … our baby would never freak out like that.  Then all it takes is one fussy 3am feeding, and all of a sudden we’re the… Continue reading Perfect Parents … Horrible Parents

Murrow just had his first bath yesterday (it kept on getting pushed back as Kim got sicker) and he’s really begun to use more of his muscles.  He can now bob his head back and forth when he’s getting burped, in order to look at whatever he wants and get more comfortable.  Here’s some pictures… Continue reading Not All Bad

Kim is back at home again.  We’ve basically restarted the healing process, hopefully this time we’ll keep on the right path. 

Kim is back in the hospital.  Her incision got infected and created a massive puss pocket that looks like something out of a horror flick.  Thankfully Mom is here to help out (I’m not sure what we would have done without her).  But things will definitely blow for the next couple of weeks while she… Continue reading Sux
