Our first...

Wondering were we have been? Here is the update. Jona and I have had many of our first as new parents...and I am sure there is more to come! We had an exciting election day in the McEver home. Let me begin by making everyone aware, you will see a pattern going forward but it has been taking place for the past 4 years. Late election night, while watching the polls I discovered Hart had diarrhea and where was Daddy...the fire dept. The next morning we found out he had caught the stomach bug! Hart first virus, he did well not very fussy. And I think we handled it very well. Then the following friday (Daddy at fire dept) Hart started spitting up like crazy. He had about 3 outfit changes in one day, and Amanda needing at least one. We were told it could be possible reflux to watch him. So we spent the weekend spitting up and wearing beautiful bibs. By monday night (Daddy at the fire dept) Hart was not feeling well. He cried in pain from 9:15pm to 11:30 pm and I cried with him. Needless to say the next day reflux medicine was called in for him. And it does seem to be helping! And finally, yesterday (Daddy was actually home!!) thanks to my Aunt Sandra who brought it to my attention Hart is constipated. That explains why he is mad at the world! So we are doing the dark karo syrup to cure that. If it wasn't for family and friends we would be clueless. But I think we are handling it well for 1st time parents. We will see what happens on Daddy's next shift. By the way... you know you are a Mom when you blog about your kid's poop.

Just like Daddy!

Look how tiny I am!
1 month today

Just like Daddy

"I am warning you, I am going to tell Daddy!"

"I said enough pictures Mommy!"

Here are a few pics of Hart acting just like Daddy. They even sleep alike!

November 3rd, 2008 Hart's due date

We couldn't wait to meet him, our tiny little love.
So God sent him early, our gift from above.

Yesterday was Hart's due date. Jona and I can't believe Hart will be 6 weeks old this friday, we can't imagine not having him here already. He had his 1 mth checkup last friday he was 8.5 lbs and 20 inches long. He is gaining weight, recognizing our voices, staying awake longer, holding his head up...I could go on an on. Everyday there is something new that just amazes us!

McEver Pumpkin Patch











Our little pumpkin was happy to leave the farm for a few hours, especially Mommy! We had a great time out trick-or-treating. Levi decided to be Batman this year and Enslee was a fashionable little Angel. She really seemed to enjoy Madison's Pink Ladies outfit.
