What's the difference between day and night?

Anyone have suggestions for what to do when a certain baby, we won't use names, has his days and nights confused? How about when said baby, again- I'm not pointing any fingers- decides that instead of eating a good 4 oz every 3-4 hours he'd rather have 1 ounce EVERY hour?

*Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwn* Let us know if you have answers... cause until then, I'm nappin'!

Xmas Greetings

Coast Guard Christmas
T'was the night before Christmas
And all through each state,
Coast Guard families
Were starting to celebrate.

Just then from the White House
Came an urgent call,
A crisis had arisen
that would affect one and all.

In fact the State Department
Was in such a frantic,
For Santa Claus had just
Landed in the Atlantic!

It was foggy as ever;
Rudolph had made a big blunder.
Santa, sleigh, and eight reindeer
Were all going under.

Though the stockings were hung
By the chimneys with care.
Poor Santa was gurgling,
"I'll never get there."

When what to his wondering
Eye should appear;
But an orange Coast Guard Helo
With all their rescue gear!

The pilots, mech & swimmer
Were so lively and quick;
Sure was a lucky break
for Good ole Saint Nick.

With a nod from the A/C
They went right to work.
Rudolph was embarrassed,
He felt like a jerk.

Poor Santa was soggy,
But as anyone could see,
He was very grateful
To the USCG!

And we heard him exclaim
As they hoisted him from sight,
"If it weren't for the airdales,
I'd have been in big trouble tonight!"

That's NOT dirty diaper!





It's the "bili-blanket" glowing green underneath me! I like it 'cause it's warm!

At home


Daniel tried the new swing that Grandma Lorie sent and took a quick picture with Mom and Dad.

Going home!!

















We're breakin' out of this joint!

And then he was here...

Well, Stephanie is definetly NOT a labor expert! Apparently she was in labor for 2 days and thought that she was just having Braxton-Hicks (practice) contractions. Finally, late Thursday night she was feeling really bad and called the doctor to ask for advice of what to do. They said:

GO TO THE HOSPITAL!!!

When we got there Stephanie's contractions were 3 minutes apart and her water broke as she walked through the hospital doors. She was already 8 cm dilated and barely had time to get the (wonderful) epidural.

Daniel Robert Fajardo was born on Friday, December 1, at 1:51 am. He weighed 5 pounds and 5.2 ounces, and was 18 inches long.



Although he was 5 weeks early (his due date was January 6) he is doing very well and was able to stay in the room with Mom and Dad.

He is a little jaundiced so we came home today with a machine called the "bili-blanket" that will help clear that right up!
