2 month checkup

By -
Will had his 2 month checkup yesterday. Dr. Goodwin was very positive and said our baby is doing great! He weighs 11 pounds 5 ounces which means he has more than doubled his weight since birth. That was exciting for me to hear because I was so worried about his size when he was born. I'm happy to see chubby legs now instead of bony knees. He also had his vaccination shots which wasn't as bad as I had built up in my mind. He let out one loud wail and I only welled up with tears. He was a bit fussy last night so we gave him Tylenol (thanks Trish!) every four hours to help with the pain. He sure loves grape flavor! He sucks that dropper dry every time.

One of the many things I knew I would miss about teaching was seeing a child's eyes light up when they understood a concept. But nothing compares to those moments when William smiles at me.

WOW! What a kid! He is adorable! I am so glad that he is doing so well! Before you know it, he will be so big that he will start to hurt your back! I love it when newborns start to smile. It only gets more fun as they learn new things it seems almost every day! Keep the cute pictures coming! p.s. I am glad that you are enjoying the tylenol! :)

Hi family! It's been a while since I've done the Bickmore Buzz!! Here's the recap of the last five months!! JUNE: The Leasure's came to visit! It was so much fun! We took some weekend trips to St. Louis and Springfield. We saw the arch in St. Louis and visited the City Museum. In Springfield we did a driving tour of the caverns. Back in Warrensburg we did lots of e-bike rides, lightning bug catching, Minecraft crafting, talent show performing, and runs to Sonic. Sophie came house hunting with us in Kansas City and we found the perfect home. It's just five miles from work! When it was time for the Leasure's to return to Utah we all cried our eyes out.  Springfield Caverns I took a weekend trip to Utah to see my family. It's a rare occasion that all of the siblings are together since Caroline lives in Guatemala.  I also got to meet little Remmi for the first time and finally got to see Wyatt after two years. They're my grand niece and nephew. I sure wish I...

Lesley checked into the hospital and she was already dilated to a 5. William Steven Bickmore was born at 1:55 at 5'5"and 19" long. He is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Lesley is a champ she only got the "test dose" of the epidural and she was already at a 9. He has a low blood sugar problem so they have him in the NICU now and they are going to bring his blood sugar up. He is healthy and strong but he is a tiny little super guy. We love him and here is a video of his very first test. I tell ya they are starting to test kids younger and younger.

Dear Lesley, I wish I could accurately describe how in-awe-of you I am. Watching you give birth to Van was an amazing experience for me. In Spanish when a woman gives birth they say she gives light or que ella “da luz”. I think that is a more accurate way to describe what went on and a more beautiful way to describe you and your relationship to my life and to those around you. Luminous Lesley You have given light to my two boys September 30, 2008 and September 17, 2010 You have given light to my life August 2, 2003 and every day afterward You have made the world a more Luminous place, For every person who has Seen your smile Heard you laugh or Held your hand these twenty-nine years. October 3, 1981 Thank you for your love and light. Love, Isaac Please leave a comment and let Lesley know how she has brought light to your life. She loves comments.
