NOT SO FUN!

NOT SO FUN... I woke up at 2:45 am to pray to the porcelin god. Not sure what is going on, maybe a touch of food poisoning? Maybe my stomach/intestinal issues from Wednesday still haven't been resolved. We were planning on going to First Lutheran this morning (we're finally getting back on track with the church finding) but I wasn't feeling up to ANYTHING. My wonderful husband took care of Reef while I got some sleep (almost until noon, with one feeding interruption!!) So far, the rest of the day has proved to be pretty normal. Hopefully everything is fine, although I think Reef may have picked up something as he is coughing and not sleeping well this evening.

Go Huskers/ Reef's first babysitter

We had 4 tickets to the football game today so that meant that Cyndi and I were going to go (weather permitting!) and cheer on the 'Skers. It was a GORGEOUS morning and afternoon so we were able to enjoy a morning of tailgating with egg casserole, bacon, sausage, sticky buns, screwdrivers, bloody mary's and BUD LIGHT! Good breakfast, right?

First we had to drop Reef off at his first young babysitters (that wasn't a granny or grampy, or older cousin Jen Becwar) cousin Rachel Freeman. They had a good time hanging out with Letti, Katie and some of Letti's family. He was a good boy (as always) and we will be calling again!

Cyndi and I only stayed for the first half as I just am not ready to be away from my boy for long periods of time, especially since he's teething and sometimes cranky! We had to first swing by my friend Breanna's to get my cell phone that I forgot on Friday night! oops. Then we picked Reef up and headed back to the Rohrs'. Grammy, Reef and I had a fun afternoon hanging out, then Jared and Rick got back and we had even more fun. We ate some Skeeter Barnes ( yum, yum!) and watched some more football.

4 month checkup

So Reef had his 4 month check up today and had a great time waiting for Dr. Brabec! He played on the exam table and chewed on his dog and looked in the mirror. Too bad Grammy and I didn't have THAT much fun waiting! :) Anyway, Reef is 26 inches tall (90%) and weighs 15 lb 8 oz (75%) and his brain is growing nicely 16 1/4 in (50%). I was VERY close in my guesses, I guess a mommy just knows! Dr. B told us he's progressing great and we are going to hold off on starting solids until he's 6 months old, which will be right around Christmas. What a Christmas treat to eat some cereal! :)

On another note, what I thought were tooth buds were just some plugged gum pores (silly me!) but Dr. B assured me that many new parents confuse them, also his front bottom teeth are getting ready to come through. I knew he was teething, just not which teeth were coming!!! More update on the teeth as it gets closer to poke time!

Happy 4 months!

Reef is 4 months old on this GORGEOUS Sunday. We had a rough night as we're teething pretty bad right now. I can see a little tooth bud on his upper and lower gum's, both left incisors, almost ready to pop through. I am SOOOOO not ready for teeth! We went for a walk today and had a pretty lazy afternoon. We go and see Dr. Brabec on Wednesday morning for our well baby checkup so we will post our new stats then. I have a feeling he's in the 16 pound range and around 26 inches tall. We'll see if I'm right! Only 1 more week of work then I get a whole week with my boy (LPS has fall break.) It's been awhile since we've got to have a whole day to ourselves and I miss it! :(

Unca Joe's bday/ Husker game!!!

We went straight from Crete to Joe & Ivy's for a combo bday/Husker game. Joe turned 28 on this fine Husker Saturday and it couldn't have gotten any better with the win! We had so much food and fun with friends and Joe & Ivy's families from 11:30 in the morning till 11 at night! Steph and I stole an hour and went to the Take 2 consignment 1/2 price day and found some bargains. Reef's Husker wear was from the consignment sale when we went on Thursday. A Husker onesie, sweat pants and bib all for $6!!! What a deal. Auntie Lindsey had fun playing with Reef and Crew. We had them giggling and bouncing with each other.

I tried to get some action shots of the boys and since Crew is mobile now, he was always coming for the camera. I also had to get a picture of Reef's Husker bum! :) Reef turns 4 months old tomorrow and Crew was 7 months on the 13th.

Grandpa Doug's 53rd bday

Enzo, Reef and Grandpa Doug (yes he has a chew in)


We went down to Crete tonight for my dad's 53rd bday. We enjoyed delicious brats on the grill and all the fixin's. Grandma Ruth brought a scruptious pie for dessert and we all enjoyed a night with the family. We spent the night because we were so far away from home (hehehe) and wanted to let Reef sleep without being moved. We also both wanted to enjoy some adult beverages (me: wine with mom, Jared: Bud Light Lime) and great conversation with Grandma Ruth, Grandpa Leon, Kurt, Deb and of course mom and dad. Everyone always enjoys time with Reef and Enzo (the grandkid and granddog!)
