  • Becoming a Big Boy

    Becoming a Big Boy

    Since Thursday afternoon our little man has made some good progress. He went down several steps in oxygen, is wearing clothes, was moved from the isolette, started nursing. Those were all great and wonderful things that happened over the last several days. Today, Sunday, has been another great milestone. They put him on room air…

    Both Tuesday and Wednesday went basically the same so I’ll just take about them together. Brent and I were creating a sleeping and pumping schedule that was starting to give us more rest. Since we are at the Ronald McDonald house, coming over to the NICU wasn’t going to happen at night. Even though it’s…

    Into this World

    So, as you’ve all been made readily aware… WE HAD A BABY! Now you’ve heard a bit from Jessica’s point of view, I figured I’d share a bit from my vantage point. Friday, October 2nd Jess wasn’t feeling the greatest as we headed off to work so I knew to be on standby to give…

    Brent and I were able to get some sleep on Sunday evening and even take a moment to go down the hall and say hi to our little man. It was a much needed night with the both of them. It helped me rejuvenate and calm down my whirlwind of emotions. Don’t get me wrong…

    Since that early morning in Bozeman, my emotions have been all over the place. I finally got more sleep that early Sunday morning. That morning couldn’t seem to go fast enough. I got up just before 7 and started plugging away at my discharge homework. Around 8, my doctor came in with the ok to…

    It’s 2:30 am in the morning as I wait for the nurse to come back in. She just visited at 2 and then will be coming in at 3. Then I’ll be left alone for about 4 hours. I have been able to get a couple hours of sleep tonight and I hope that this…

  • Three State Tour

    Three State Tour

    Last month, we left the confines of Montana for our last big outing before our addition to the family arrives. The trip centered around two different events, a Seattle wedding and the Grand Teton Relay. In between the two, we spent time in Oregon with family. We decided that in order to maximize our time in…

  • Oh to do it all!

    Oh to do it all!

    As many of you have come to know, Jess and I are photographers and have lately been fairly busy taking photos for the side-business I started last year, thirtyfivemedia. So far, we’ve done family photos, company portraits, maternity shoots and weddings. The last one is the one that has consumed a fair bit of my…

  • Boy or Girl??

    I don’t know how much we have been talking about having a baby on our blog. We have been bad with posts lately. We also don’t have internet right now. Hopefully, we will hit up a coffee shop soon to post some of the things we have been doing before it is no longer just the…

  • Happy Thanksgiving!

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    This year we went traveling for Thanksgiving for the first time since we have been married. We headed to the Oregon coast where we got to spend the holiday with both sets of parents, my sister and a friend. We had a great time in Cannon Beach. It was my first time there. I loved…

  • Meet Flynn!

    Meet Flynn!

    I know that Brent and I have been missing from our blog lately. With buying a house (yes I know we haven’t talked about that yet), doing things for Venture, working, Brent doing a lot of overtime work and me taking an accounting class for work, we haven’t had much time to sit down and…

    Take it Slow

    As most of you know, I have been running around like a chicken lately. I hardly have the time for, well almost anything! Ha. This past weekend, my parents really wanted to see us before we headed off to Nepal. Even though it was a really short weekend getaway in Kellogg, Idaho, it was a…
