OK, so I am having a VERY difficult time focusing right now at work. Yes, I admit that I have not gotten much work done today. I have been so overly swamped with work, trying to finish the last leg of my thesis, and home life that my eyes can barely stay open. So I am trying to take a break to refocus. Maybe this will help because nothing else is. Besides, I have been negligent in my blog-writing duties lately.

As an update- I am finishing up the last chapter to my thesis TONIGHT!!! It should have been finished already but I was sick FOR A WEEK!!! Really not good with a new baby, full time job, and a thesis. But my doctor said my sickness was a result of all of my stress. I hope she's right because I am still not 100%.

Jerbear is absolutely wonderful. I am so in love with him it hurts my heart sometimes. I always tell him that there is only one other being that loves him more than me and that is God. Then I follow up with saying that I can almost imagine (because I will never fully know) how God feels about all of us. Isn't God wonderful?! Of course his Daddy loves him as much as me, but I can only speak of my love for him. It's really overwhelming sometimes. If you have kept up with my previous blogs you will understand why this is scary for me.

Bear (for short) will be SIX MONTHS (already!!!) this Wednesday. He definitely weighs more than 20 pounds. Loves to talk, yell (I like to say he is singing... he sings like his Mommy), play in his jungle (play pen) and eat. Oh my goodness does he eat. He eats solids twice a day now and drinks 6 oz. bottles. When he is eating his cereal with either fruit or veggies he follows that up with a bottle. Yes, we are taking donations for formula. LOL! He's breaking the bank for sure.

He is such a happy, easy going baby. He is sleeping throughout the night and falls asleep (generally) on his own. We, mostly me since I am the one that puts him to bed every night, did not have to go through the whole cry it out method. He knows our routine (eat food [usually cereal with some veggies]; get a bath; get dressed for bed while listening to gospel music and saying our ABC's, spelling his name, and saying the Lord's Prayer; read a book; and while drinking/eating [I never know how to describe this] his bedtime bottle say our night time prayers of thanks and solicitations to God). Again, such an easy going baby.

Early on in my blog I wrote one titled "Wishes for my son". I have been observing so much that grieves my heart lately and has me doing a lot of soul searching and thinking. So, I believe I will be writing a lot more of those. I hope to collect them and present them to him one day when he is much older. So, the next few blogs will be about wishes to my son..... Enjoy!

PS- This is a picture of Jeremy sleeping the other night. This is his new favorite position. Yes, his little bum-bum is sticking up in the air and he is snoring.... LOUDLY. LOL. Is he not totally adorable?!
