Wordless Wednesday....

Reality bites

Just so you know what I am up to...I will be spending the next 7 days soaking up this sweet face. 

Because in exactly one week I have to go back to work.  Back to reality.  I am going to do my best not to dwell on the inevitable.  I do enjoy my job and am eager to resume a more typical schedule but I just can't resist this face.  I can't believe how quickly time has gone and how much my little man has grown and changed.  Parker is 7 weeks old and so much fun, he has started smiling and grinning and he has even found his voice!  I just can't help kissing those chunky little cheeks...

Wordless Wednesday

I couldn't have said it better myself. :)

One Month

I cannot believe our little munchkin is already a month old, Parker is changing right before our eyes.  I love to watch him sleep and listen to him coo.  I thought I would share a few pictures of Parker I snapped today.  

This picture was just too sweet not to share.  We spend A LOT of time doing this these days.  It's official - Coco and I are in love with our little boy.

Hello Again!

It has taken me more than three weeks to get back to blogging.  I've had one particular distraction lately...

Isn't he PRECIOUS? 


Life as Parker's mommy is a whole new experience.  It has been full of so many different moments and emotions, most of them so sweet.  I will be the first to admit - being a mom is the hardest thing I have ever done.  I have an undergraduate degree, a graduate degree and CPA certification and being a mother trumps them all.  There is no book or manual that comes with a little bundle of joy and every baby is so different.  The only thing you have are your innate parental instincts (and your dear family and friends!).  So...for the last three weeks I have been developing those parental instincts (and making many phone calls for advice and help)!


Our little man is doing great, Coco and I are soaking up his sweet face!  We learn more and more about Parker with each day.  It is surreal to sit and stare at our little one and think that God created him just for us.  We hold on to each moment (even the fussy ones!), he is already growing so fast I can't imagine how quickly time flies.


We went for Sweet P's three week appointment Tuesday and he is growing like a weed!  Here are his current stats...

8 lbs, 9 oz. - he has gained almost 2 lbs since birth!

21.5 inches long - he has grown a whole inch!

I promise one of my next posts will be of Parker's nursery.  My sweet mother was wrapping up the finishing touches the day we brought him home from the NICU!

**A very special thank you to MC for keeping the blog up to date with Parker's arrival and NICU stay.  Parker loves his Auntie!

Since Kiki is Otherwise Engaged.....

Kiki has her hands full these days.  I guess I'll give her a break this time.....I posted this on my blog today and thought I'd ask her readers for help.

This little muchkin melts my heart.  This is Parker, "Master P", my newbie nephew.  He is 2 weeks old today and is absolutely Preshy Presherson.  I cannot wait to get my hands on him again and nuzzle his sweet little face.

Now that I'm an auntie to Kiki's bebe, I need a name.  I need an auntie name for Master P to know me by.  My question for y'all, my darling chickadees is this....by what name to you call your aunts?  I don't want to be Aunt Sarah....I want something else, something better. I've got one name in mind, but I'm not wholeheartedly committed to it and need your help.  Pretty please?  Many Thanks, Monogram Chick

Parker & Kiki Update via Monogram Chick

Parker is here and SO STINKIN' CUTE!   Both baby and mama are doing well.  Looks like Kiki will be heading home sometime today.  Parker gets an extended stay at Brookwood Hospital with luxury accommodations in the NICU.  He has had a little trouble regulating his blood sugar so to keep an eye on the little guy they admitted him and are keeping a close eye on his levels before and after feedings.  As of late this morning he was doing well and his blood sugar levels were good.  We'll continue to pray for stabilization!  They have "P-man" (every aunt needs a nick name for her nephew right?) hooked to an IV of fluids {Kiki said last night that the fluids had really "brightened" his coloring} and since his levels have been good they will slowly wean him off the fluids starting today.

As I said, he is so amazingly cute....here are a few pictures of infant eye candy!
