Levi: One Month

I have used Photobucket since the beginning of my xanga blog in 2005, but they recently updated the site....and I find it very difficult to use.  I am trying a new photo sharing site and hope it works!

Happy 1 Month to my sweet baby Levi!!  Right when he turned one month, he seemed to turn a corner in life.  My milk supply had felt low until a few days ago.  It finally feels normal, and his feedings have decreased from 30 minutes or so to about 10-12 minutes.  That has been so nice.  I am figuring out Levi's daily rhythms, which has been helpful to know what to do.  He is pretty fussy in the evenings....usually around 7 to 10 pm.  That's when he was most active in the womb, so I am not surprised.

Levi is such a great baby.  He sleeps well and eats well.  When he is awake, though, he either likes to be held or be on his tummy.  He does not like his bouncy seat, and he does not like laying on his back (unless he's asleep).

The older three kids are IN LOVE with their brother.  Luke calls him "my Bevi" (instead of Levi).  Luke is most protective of him, which is so adorable.  He alerts me if "Bevi" is crying!  Caleb and Chloe are so sweet to him, too.  They all love to hold him.  Today, Chloe left to go to a cheerleading camp (more on that later) and said, "Make sure Levi is awake when I get home so I can love on him".  So cute!

Levi is so amazing.  I am so thankful for my precious, precious boy!

The Book I May or May Not Write

I have the nicest friends in the world.  When I write a short, quippy thing my kid said on Facebook, my very nicest friends will say, "I can't wait for you to write a book." I sort of feel like people are American Idoling me....you know, encouraging me to do something I'm passionate about even though I am not really good at it---never thinking I would actually have the audacity to pursue it---but then they're in too deep with the lie....but even so, those comments make me feel good.  (Which is kind of weird, possibly narcissistic, because it's actually my kids being entertaining, and not my words.  Yet I press on.) I wrote for 31 days straight in October, and I discovered maybe I am not so good at writing more than 2 sentences at a time.  So I decided maybe writing a book wasn't in my future. But then I spent a lot of time thinking during November and realized that, even if no one reads what I write, I think it would be really fun to put into words w...

Another Child One Day

Going back through my posts, I realized I had a few blogs I wrote but never published. One is when I was wavering between adopting or birthing our fourth child. One thing is for sure: our family is not complete. I cannot explain that other than I just know. For awhile there, I was strongly contemplating adopting, but for now, I am leaning more towards birthing the last child. In fact, I am most certain, God willing, that is what our plans are. We are trying to decide when to try to have a baby. And by "try", I mean get pregnant. I have many weaknesses, but fertility is not one of them. In case you can't tell. Our kids are fairly close, so one part of me wants to get pregnant in about 9-10 months....and be done. Forever!! But another part of me wonders if I should take a longer break. See, I have this really weird feeling (that is probably not going to happen) that I will have twins. For one, Brett has always wanted five kids, and I only want four. Things jus...

Christmas Traditions

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Along with pretty much everyone else, this is my most favorite holiday. As my children age, it just keeps getting better and better!! Establishing traditions is one of my goals during the holiday season. I am a sentimental person, and I am hopeful my kids will grow up with fond memories of their childhood Christmases. Most, if not all, of my traditions are not original. I glean ideas from others and make it my own. The Happy Home Fairy is a wonderful resource for making your holiday magical. The Williams Family traditions: - We stay home for Christmas. We travel during the holiday break, but for Christmas Eve and Day, we are home. To be honest, this was hard to do because I know family members on both sides want to see our kids, but I wanted to do what was best for our family. We welcome anyone who wants to come visit on Christmas, so we are great to have others in our home. And there are many reasons we choose to stay home. ...
