Stressful week

I am sitting down this morning to enjoy a freshly brewed cup of french press coffee with homemade whipped cream and start reading my Bible, when clear across the room I hear Gideon "shart". This may be a little graphic but seriously I probably could have heard it outside. It was loud and juicy. Little man had a really rough week last week. He went through a huge development, which I will get to in a minute. He also spent most of the weekend fussy and not able to go poo. I felt so sorry for the little guy. He would just scream out in pain and then tighten up his belly. I gave him gas relief to try to break it up, I tried massaging his belly, I tried everything I could, but nothing would help. Thankfully this morning he was able to get some relief. phew! I hope we off to a better start this week. So after a bath and starting a load of laundry I was able to sit down and read and enjoy my yummy coffee, it was a tad cold but I guess thats life. 


I mentioned that last week was a huge week for Gideon. Starting last friday Gideon had been getting up every 2 hours at night wanting to eat. It was horrible for me. I got absolutely no sleep. Add on top of that I got pretty sick. Boo! I wasn't sure what was going on with him and why he was getting up so frequently. I asked some of my mommy friends and some suggested a growth spurt. He hasn't gained any weight but.... He ROLLED OVER!!! He has not mastered the skill yet but he is getting better. It is so funny to watch him trying so hard. He grunts and pushes himself so hard. Gid also started putting his coos together and it sounds like he is singing!! It is so cute, especially at night when he is tired and he sings to himself. 


We are loving every moment of this stage even though it's been a little stressful or tiring. God just keeps impressing upon my heart that we will only have one child once. Gideon is our first baby and everything we are experiencing is new. We have to enjoy it and soak it in. Take the good with the bad and make the best of each stage. All it takes for me is to look into his sweet innocent eyes or see him smile back at me or giggle when I tickle him to put it all into perspective for me. He brings me so much joy and love that I have never experienced before. Thank you God for such an amazing little boy! You are great! You are worthy!


Big news for Jared and I too.. we bought a new car last week. It just added onto the stress of an already stressful week for the both of us. Although it was a great move for us. We are super excited about it. It is a 2000 Subaru Outback. I will post pictures later today after I go pick it up in Spokane. I am excited to have something a little more roomy and more safe and comfortable for Gideon and I to be in this winter. They say its going to be a nasty one. Thankfully we have all wheel drive now!!!
