swimming (kind of) like a fish

Jacob completed his two weeks of swim lessons yesterday. I was very pleased with this swim place. There were at least 15 or so instructors and each instructor had 3 children that they taught.

Jacob started these lessons (having never had a lesson before) completely afraid of the water. If you remember from a few weeks back, I had finally gotten him accustomed to the water with floaties, which I was not particularly fond of.

He did wonderfully and seems much more comfortable in the water. I still don't know how confident I would be with his ability to save himself if he were to fall in accidentally, but it is a major step forward for him.

waiting for lessons to start. Notice the MANY swim instructors names on the wall behind Jacob. The kids had to stand by their instructors names before lessons started.

yuck

That's how I feel today....

Mike came home with a stomach virus yesterday, and today I have the pleasure. Thank goodness it seems to be a 24 hour thing.

William has been having good nights (sleeping for 5 hours straight) and not so good (3 hours straight). Can't comaplain though, he is not even 2 weeks old yet!

and a post would not be complete without pictures...right?

less words, more visuals

A week.

Seriously.

It has been a week since my last post.

6 days since I gave birth.

Wow....

It has been busy round these parts, and blogging has been at the bottom of my to do list. I have missed it, so I am back. Not that I have much time. So I will be short on words, big on pictures.

William Thomas was born on Friday July 17, 2009 at 5:15pm after 12 hours of labor. He weighed in at 7# 6.6 oz and measured 20 inches in length. He is welcomed and very loved by his mommy, daddy, and awesome big brother Jacob.
