Baby Genius

Well, we took Jude to the doctor today because he's been having some tummy trouble. The doc said it was totally normal, that he probably has colic or whatever, and gave us some things to try. On another note, he weighed in at 9lbs 6oz today! The doctor's eyebrows raised up real high and he said, I quote "what are you feeding him, steak? That must be some good milk." ha! Apparently he couldn't believe Jude had gained that much weight. :) I'm so happy my boy is growing well!

Also, another really awesome thing happened today. Ross' mom stayed with us last night (and tonight) to let me get some sleep, it's been a REALLY rough week and I've been so exhausted because Jude hasn't been sleeping. Ok, I'm rambling. Anyway, that's not the awesome thing I'm talking about (although that is very awesome and sweet of her)...she said that while Jude was in her lap, he smiled really big and totally laughed! I don't know if babies can or are supposed to laugh this early, but I thought it was pretty awesome! Of course, I was a little jealous that I missed it. And Ross said that Jude laughed the other day and I missed that one too! But, just a minute ago, he totally laughed again and I got to hear it this time! It was the sweetest thing ever.
Ross' mom's speculation is that Jude is a baby genius. I think I might just have to agree.

And, of course it wouldn't be right if I didn't post any new pictures of him. I want to photo him all the time!





I could stare at this kid all day long.

The many faces of Jude...

Here are some pictures I took of Jude today. He's a man of many faces!





He does smile some, but I haven't been able to catch it on my camera yet. Believe me, as soon as I do, I will share it with the world!

Can you tell I'm proud??? :)

Daddy and Jude say hello!

And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude

So, I am finally getting around to posting a blog about our son, Jude Michael. I have been putting it off, shame on me!

Here he is, Jude, born on February 21, 2008 at 9:20am. He was 7lbs 1oz and 20.5 inches long.

He's got frog legs! Apparently that's how he was in the womb, but they have since come down and look normal. :) He's such a joy to have, but I tell you...we are not getting much sleep! I hear it gets better though.


This is how he likes to sleep, with his arms up!



I just love this kid. I am so proud of my family.

Quick update...

Hey to all. Just wanted to send a quick update on things. Everything is going great here at the Fergus house. We're just getting ready for our little one's arrival. We received his furniture last weekend...his room looks great! My sweet family purchased it and brought it to us. What an amazing gift!! We are so grateful. I'll probably take some pics of it when it's all decorated and ready. We still have some more things we'd like to do to it. The pregnancy is going wonderful, really, I couldn't have asked for a better pregnancy. I am actually really enjoying it. Jude is moving around so much in there, sometimes I think he's doing jazzercise in my belly! I love the feeling though, I will definitely miss it when he's here. Anyway, I'll post some new pics, I know how everyone loves to keep up with pregnant bellies! :)


Ross and Fiona say hello too!

It's a DOG!!

Some pics of our 'first-born' Fiona at the park doing some training and at home chillin'.



She's a good dog...most of the time.

IT'S A BOY: JUDE MICHAEL FERGUS

Woot! we're having a boy! As you see from the title of this post we are naming him Jude Michael.
















Jude: Biblical(Hebrew) name meaning praise/thanks

Michael: Family name, and Hebrew name meaning 'Who is like God?'


My son, we are eager for your birth into the world.

WE'RE HAVIN' A BABY

...That's right folks I have impregnated my wife. :D

We're excited to share with you all that Brandie is almost 15 weeks pregnant. We have pictures that will be posted soon.

Since we're going to be dirt poor, you can make all cash, and food donations to our doorstep...dog and cat food is acceptable too being that we have four cats and a dog.

We love you all,

holla
