Time for a change....

I decided to post a plethora of different pictures because it seems that when I get around to posting so much has happened and I haven't talked about any of it. All of these pictures represent many different things; from that Beck family weekend, Aidan and I getting "thrush", enjoying seeing Jody and Aidan meet, Aidan's first bath fully in the water(when we tried it the first time he was not impressed), and to Aidan's 4 week check up resulting in him weighing now 10lbs 5oz!!! Yes, that is right folks our precious little one is officially a chunk. He sure does love his food. Speaking of food.....at that appointment I told my midwife that I was done breastfeeding. I know some of you might be gasping at the thought but I must tell you that it is the best choice we have made. We are adjusting to the change and all that it brings but now I am able to heal and we are able to enjoy feeding times much more. Aidan doesn't seem to mind the formula change. He scarf's(if that is how you spell it) it down. I so much enjoy the feeding times. He is able to look at me and we have great conversations. I feel as if there is bonding that takes place now more than before. The struggle we are working on is that now feedings are more spread out 3-4 hours between feedings and the amount that he gets is around 3-4 oz. at a time. He is suppose to receive around 23 oz in a day. It doesn't seem like a lot but at the same time when we were breastfeeding I had no idea how much he was actually consuming. This weekend we will be introducing daddy to the middle of the night feedings. He's going to love it I am sure! hehehehehe. Its going to be nice at times to be able to have other people feed him for me but there sure is something special about the ability to feed your own child.
I suppose there isn't more to say right now because I have given you all the latest news. Life is going well and we are adjusting to it. Now with bottle feeding we will be able to go out and do more things because I won't have to worry about flashing the whole world in the process.
Those of you who know Jamie if you could pray for him right now. School is a bit chaotic at the moment. There has been lots of shuffling of jobs and kids. Things are not concrete at the moment and Jamie doesn't do well with change on the best of days. As well, one of his good teacher buddies has decided to take a high school position at a different school (which is a great opportunity for him). Jamie was going to be teaching with him this year and was looking forward to the year. So with that said, he could use some prayer in dealing with the chaos at the moment and working accepting the change that is inevitable.
