Say this 10 times fast...Pyloric Stenosis

Almost six months to the day that I had my ultrasound, Juice and I were back, with Nancy, at Emanuel Hospital so Jack could get an ultrasound. This was not fun. Apparently, my kid is a little piggy and sucks down his food too fast. But, before we could decipher that, his doc decided that we should go through a semi-routine ultrasound just to make sure that Jack wasn't suffering from Pyloric Stenosis. Go ahead. Google it. I won't even try to explain it. Jack, thankfully, does not have it and we're back to happy baby land here at Chez Lindsey.

I had to call in the reserves, a.k.a. "I need my mommy!"


This job is tough. There. I've said it. I, Robin, here do undeniably state that I have no idea what I'm doing. Just when I thought I would never sleep, eat, or smile at my husband again, Nancy came in to save the day (thanks to Dad who charges all of his business dealings on his Frontier Airlines card). Mom flew out here, at last minute, for about $5! Yahtzee! Ever since she stepped in the door last Friday, Jack has set new P.R.s--sleeping from 11:30 to 4:30 the first night, then the second night and continuing on until last night where he slept from 11:30 until 6 this morning. I AM a happy woman!




My baby throws gang signs! Westside!


Straight out of Nancy's mouth: "Are you sure Blogger allows people to display their kid's junk on the internet?"



The ultimate multitasking picture, ever!

The sun DOES shine in Portland





We packed up our little peanut and headed out into the rare sunshine on Sunday. Jack was a week old and it was due time to break in the B-O-B.


Grandma Nancy's 65th--June 6, 2008


True to her form, mom was giving some sort of directions while having her picture taken. I'd like to think she's saying, "Now, Rick, make sure you can see the lettering on top of the cake. Oh, and while you're at it, can you pour me another glass of Pinot Gris?" I'd like to think Jack is saying (in the voice of Stewie from 'Family Guy'), "Damn it ladies! I've had enough with these flashbulbs. Bring me another Mai Tai!" Thanks for letting me pick on you mom. Happy Birthday!


Yours truly with her mama

Johnathan Hawthorne Lindsey

He's here! He's here! I will give you a quick update and then will have to post pictures later. After pushing for 4 hours, Mr. Big Head had to be delivered via emergency C-section. It was scary and I couldn't have done it without Justin's love and strength. I absolutely LOVE my husband. We all knew this already, but he is amazing!

Johnathan Hawthorne Lindsey was born on June 1st at 1:44 in the morning. He weighed 8 lbs 1 oz and is 19.75 inches long. We are calling him Jack, but will give him the option to go by Hawk if he likes. Many of you know that we considered naming him Hawthorne and calling him Hawk from all along, but Hawthorne just seemed like a middle name to us. I have only been home for 5 hours, so pics will come along soon!
