Eight Crazy Weeks

Eight weeks ago today, Charlie was born. Time flies! It feels like yesterday, and it also feels like he has been here with us forever.

Three weeks after he was born, I got really sick. We had to make some tough decisions, and I decided to go back on the big gun medicines. Remicade is a miracle drug! Every individual with Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's disease should have access to this drug. Taking care of Charlie those 4 weeks was very challenging- thank you to everyone all of you who helped us so much! I'm now on the upslope, and everything is getting easier around here.

Charlie is a great baby with the exception of his evening fussy times. He likes to fuss from about 5-9PM every night. The good thing about that is he wears himself out then sleeps really well. He has given us several 7 hour nights. The funny thing is that I can't sleep 7 hours anymore. I start waking up to check on him after about 4 hours.

Little Chaz is growing fast. I think he gets longer everyday, but he is still really thin. He has big hands- Tom thinks he is going to have his Uncle Tommy's meat hooks.

The color in this picture is not good but I have to share because it makes me melt every time I see Charlie's sweet little hand resting on Pete.
