Story Of Joel (the first seven years) My little guy turned seven today!

Here he is seven years ago today. We had a rough time because I had low amniotic fluid so I was given pitocin (he was due Dec 8th) which led some emergency I never fully understood. I was wisked away for a c section and I hardly got to say boo.





as you can tell, I have had a hard day.

Dad looks slightly better *growl*



although alot younger then today





Here we are all settled in



As happy as we were; the day we came home from the hospital, I had to go back because i had an appedectomy, Joel was not allowed to come back with me and I was breastfeeding so I had to go into this freezing cold chapel to nurse my little babe .. It was really hard to keep breastfeeding through this and it was hard to have two operations in three days, but we made it and he became a great little nurser

but he was still pretty small



; He liked to hang out with his cousin and best friend Luke, and he still does!







but eventually he bulked up quite nicely and became pleasantly plump haha

Then he got taller as the year went on and he finally got some hair too He was a great little baby, but had a bit of a temper.






For a short while while he was two he became a doggie, and then a little while later a horse and a kitty cat. but he was all boy to me.







Then when he was almost three; he got a little sister! He was unsure of this little sister and was afraid that would mean the end of nurse, but I was able to nurse him and his sister together for a few more months









Joel loves to go the Childrens' Musuem here in Indy and go to the dinasours; he esp likes to talk to the palentologist and find out first hand about dinasours.


He also loves to play in the snow with his sister









  • anyway, hes' a really great kid and I'm glad hes' mine..
