I've decided to revive this blog as I'd like a place where I can list any projects I'm currently working on, an also give those "cute" updates about my kid. Yes, since I've posted last, I've gone through the art of conceiving a child, which turns out that is a LOT harder for us that imagined, the art of pregnancy, the art of giving birth, and the art of being a first time mom. I use ART a lot in this post cause I have no idea how teenage girls get pregnant so fast and usually have no idea HOW to get pregnant, how they deal with the ups and downs of morning sickness, and losing their girlish figure, how they give birth (again keeping in mind that I'm sure at this point they STILL don't know how they got pregnant), and how they deal with being a mom so young. I'm 27 and I still have no idea what I'm doing. :)
For this first post, I'd just like to introduce you to the newest member of "wanna get away? us too" and share some cute pics if you don't mind.
Elsje Boogaard was born on February 13th, 2011. She was 5 pounds and 5 ounces. She was 17.5 inches long. Insert picture 1:
Some fun info:
Elsje is now 7.5 weeks old an will be 8 weeks to the day on her blessing day this Sunday.
She currently weighs just about 8 lbs and is 21 inches long.
She rolled over and grandma and grandpa Nelsons house at 3 weeks old.
She is just starting to smile like crazy and we've heard her giggle a few times...a sound that I'm sure will never get old.
Elsje likes to roll her eyes at her parents, get her picture taken, eat, have baths, and be held. She still likes to curl her legs up under her belly...a habit her mom is CERTAIN is going to make her bowlegged. Peter has been home from work for two months, and will continue to be home for antoher month. Im really not sure what I'll do when I don't have another set of hands around to help out when I want to do something for myself...and when I say that, I mean TAKE A SHOWER. I know that my life has totally changed, and doing something for myself has now been put on the back burner...so its a good thing she came out cute.
Please enjoy more pics and I'll talk to you soon!!
Niss
so the beard....he said he was going to keep growing it till she was born...good thing she came when she did....
Her first meeting with her new pets....she is already Alpha dog.
