Well, we have hit our first bump in the road of child raising.  My very wonderfully mildly tempered son has colic.  This has caused Jacob to have fits of crying and fussing.  At first I had no idea what was wrong…I have never been a parent before. I didn’t know that Jacob’s little digestive tract [...]

Well, my little boy is 2 weeks old and I have enjoyed every minute of being a mom.  He is such a calm, undemanding baby…except at feeding times.  I have been able to get some rest at night since he has been waking to eat every 3 hours.  James and I are amazed at how [...]

Well It is Monday, June 13th, 2011 and I have been a mommy for 5 days now!  My son, Jacob Rance Ashton was born @ 9:02 am June 8th, 2011…He weighted in at 6 pounds 9 ounces and was 19 inches in length. So the story goes like this.  I had a doctors appointment on [...]

So I have had a busy week…I had a doctor’s appointment on Monday. ¬†It went well but she didn’t like my fasting blood sugar levels. ¬†So She referred me to a specialist who could give me some medication to help control them. ¬†My fasting blood sugar levels being high are completely out of my control…it [...]

So my doctors appointment on Monday went well…My Dr said my blood sugar levels looked good and she wasn’t worried about me having gestational diabetes.
