Sick Mommy and Daddy

After what I thought was going to be a busy week, Brett and I have been hit with really bad colds/sinus infections. Luckily they were staggered so we have been able to take care of each other. My mom came up Tuesday and spent the night to help with the baby. Since I am nursing Moses is getting all his anitbodies and from what I have read he (fingers crossed) will more than likely not get sick. But it also means that I cannot take OTC cold medication which means no sleep!

We did have to cancel our Thursday appointment to have our portraits made. I was really looking forward to it so I'm bummed! We will be going next week instead.

Pray for our health this week! We both need it!

What a Crazy Week!

We've had such a busy week! My parents came to visit on Tuesday. Dad had to do some work but then he met Mom, Brett, Moses and I for lunch at Fosters. Mom and I walked around Cameron Village and then went back to the house and headed to the pumpkin patch! Well, really it was the local Methodist church. Brett's cousin Will met us there and we had a great time. Moses fell asleep but we still got some great shots! We also got to introduce my parents and Will to our favorite Fuquay restaurant Joyce's.

Wednesday, Brett's mom came and we met her at Southpoint to do some shopping. We are having some family portraits done soon and I wanted to get Moses something to wear. We met Brett at PF Changs and had dinner. I had an awful ride home with Moses. I tried to feed him while we were eating but I did not realize something was wrong with the bottle so I thought he was not hungry. I ended up having to pull off the road in crazy traffic where I made the stopped up bottle discovery. We left Durham around 5:30 and I think we pulled up to the house around 7:30. YUCK!

On Thursday we did one of my favorite things in the world...LUNCH AT THE FAIR! We took Moses and strolled around and got some great food. Well I did, Brett had a cavity filled that morning so he was not much in the mood for corn on the cob and ham biscuits. After the fair we walked around the mall and then Brett went to the NCSU/FSU game.

Friday we took Moses for his 2 month check up. I made Brett go with me because I HATE when he has to get shots. He did fine though and mommy was ok too! He's up to 13lbs 7oz and is 25 3/4 inches long. He even rolled over for the doctor which he has never done before! He is holding his head up really well too

Last night we had Will and Emily, Brett's cousins over for dinner. We grilled burgers and got to catch up with them. They brought Moses a Furman tshirt which is so cute! Brett has started to get sick so fingers crossed that the rest of the family is safe! Enjoy the pictures below!

Just getting started!

Moses Jackson Barker

9lbs 3oz

22 inches


Everyone has been after me to do this so here we go! I know everyone wants to follow little Moses and see how much he grows and changes. I am going to post some pictures and some basic stuff to get us started. I sometimes use a site called tumblr because it is easy and quick for short thoughts and I will also post a link to that.
