3 weeks old



I am so INNOCENT!!

Daddy Time





Jett and Donnie got to relax on Daddy's day off!!

Christina & Mike

Well, Mick and Joe left for Laredo on Saturday and I must say I took it pretty well. Jett was great as usual during the day but for some reason he ate at 11pm, midnight, and 1am. He only ate for about 10minutes at 1 and passed out till 5:30am. I was pleased.
Donnie's dad came in this morning. I have to wait for him to be distracted so that I can take some pictures! He does not like his picture taken, but he will soon be blogged!!

The whole time Mick and Joe were here, Donnie and I were always refered to Christina and Mike!! Don't you think Christina has had her finger wrapped around our mother and father for a long time?

Alani












Here is one of Jett's many girlfriends. Alani, was born on January 11th. Jett loves older women!! Alani and Jett finally met on Sunday night. She is bigger than he is but hopefully Jett will be her size in a few weeks. HOW CUTE THEY ARE!!

GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE

I must say that February 13th was my original due date for Jett to come into this world. In December, my doctor had said that she moved me up to Feb. 7th. Then, in January she said if Jett was still breech, he would probably come early. Well, Michelle "Sis" DeLaTorre Clounch made the call back in early December that I would have the baby on January 24th. Well, she was partially right. Broken water the 24th and baby the 25th!!! So, if I had money on the delivery date, Sis would have won!

Getting Bigger

Last Thursday we had a our 2 week doctor's appointment. They took blood for Hepititis and then gave a shot. Not exactly sure what the shot was for. The way that they take blood on babies is hard to bare. They prick the heal of the foot and they milk the blood out. Jett's has had this done 3 times and his blood does not flow. Donnie was there for the first two and he was pretty ticked off. Me, I didn't like it, but I figured that was the only way to do it. Jett screamed bloody murder. It is really hard to watch, because you can only hold their hand and talk to them so that by chance, they can hear and relate to your voice and that everything will be OK.
This last time, Donnie did not sit in the room with me, it was probably a good thing, he may have jacked the nurse!! So, he went to go pick up my breast pump!
After they took blood and gave him his shot, you just want to hold him so tight, and I did. He was so traumitized, that as soon as he felt me, he stopped crying!!
On the good note, Jett gained a little over a lb. so he is now 7lbs 7 ounces. Jett looks really healthy and no major concerns. Now we don't go back for another 2 months.
Although, we do have to go get a scan done on Jett's hips. Being a breech baby, the hips sometimes do not develop correctly, so Dr. McGonnell wants to be sure that he is perfectly fine, so we go in for that March 14th. Dr. McGonnell checks his hips all the time he says they feel fine, but never can be too sure.

Almost 2 weeks Old!!
















First Time Grandpa Held Me


This is the first time grandpa held me. Grandpa claims that he is too small to hold him, so grandma just lays him on his belly.
Jett loves to cuddle!!!

Proud Papa



Donnie's job at the hospital was to change diapers. He was a little liery about gagging when changing him, but it never happened.

Now he goes to work, does mine and mick and joe's aronds, holds me when he gets home from work, and stays up for my midnight feeding.

Jett was smiling at his daddy!

"The Great Challenge"


This past week and a half, I have been really busy being a MOM!! Wierd to say but, it is true!! The first couple of days were sleepless days and nights. Jett, I believe had a bit of a tummy ache 2 consecutive nights in a row. He cried and cried, it totally broke my heart. Patients I have when he cries, patients for what is making him cry, none! So, needless to say, I was very emotional the first few days home. Jett also had a bit of jaundice. So, we were up all night and had to be at the doctor's office early in the morning. You know, as a person, I can be organized perhaps in a cluttered type of way. Now, I have to be with a baby and his schedule. So, the night before, I had thought, well, he will eat at 6am and our appointment was at 9am so we would be fine, nope, did not work out that way. We ended up being 30minutes late. Thank goodness they were flexible!

Yes, Jett slept in bed with me on the two nights of horror, but I am proud to say, and I will knock on wood, has had 2 consecutive days of sleeping in his bassinett after feeding. He usually eats at 11:30pmish, 3amish, and again at 6amish. Our boy has been consistant the last 2 days.....yipppeeee!! At first, during the night I had thought that Jett had his days and nights mixed up, because that is all he wanted to do, is look at me and talk!! Too, cute, but at 3 in the morning!!! Now, he is up a bit more during the day and likes to hang out!!


Jett is definitley getting heavier. We have a doctor's appointment on Thursday, I can not wait to see how much he weighs.

He eats, pees, poops, and smiles constantly!!

JETT ERIC COSBY











INTRODUCING-----JETT ERIC COSBY

Exciting Night







On Wednesday January 24th, I had been at the high school for Eagle Celebration to recruit for next year softball. I got home around 8ish and I was tired. I sat for a while in my recliner and then told Bubba that I was tired and going to bed. Donnie was at bowling and he shortly showed up after I went to bed. I usually get up every two hours to go potty and well, I did so at this time. I had thought that it was later like 2am but it was only 11pm. I jumped out of bed and Donnie says to me, "watch out, don't hurt yourself!" I felt like I had to go potty bad, well, I got to the bathroom and sure enough, the books are not lying. My water had broke. As I set on the toilet, yes letting myself drain, I told Donnie that "I think that it is time!" He said, "time for what?" TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL!!! He busts in the bathroom and was suprised and said, "OK, what do I do?" He did great. He called my doctor, told them my water broke and that the baby was breech, so this meant emergency C-section. He got all the bags in the truck, I yelled at Bubba's bedroom door 3times,,,"BUBBA." After finally hearing me from the logs he was cutting, he jumped up and I said that, IT WAS TIME! As I was walking out, my dogs were just as worried and concerned as Donnie and Bubba. They watched me leave and off we went.



Donnie drove all the way with his hazzard lights on and pretty fast, we did not get pulled over!! Thank goodness. At Medical City of Dallas, everyone was waiting for me. They got me in, got me preped and I was ready to go by 1am. Dr. Marci, had 80s music playing for me. The room was not as cold as some surgery rooms that I have been in, but I was shivering like crazy. They supplied me with very warm out of the dryer blankets, those were nice, but I was still shaking. At this point, they forgot to get Donnie, I asked where he was and they ran to get him. He made it, he also got to see all my insides in a bowl. He stood behind me stroking my head. They had put on an oxygen mask and I felt a tad bit clostrophobic. Ever since my BOY has been in my womb, he has tripped my ashma a few times, making me feel real clostrophobic. So, when the doctor, which he looked like the Pratt Coach on Wildcats the movie (that was making me laugh too) put on the mask, I started to panic a bit and could not catch my breathe. It took forever to catch my breath. I got through it though. Dr. Marci said my insides were warm, but I was shaking so much, so she said she needed to watch me for infections. So, Jett came out and they held him over the curtain for me to see, which I really just saw his testicles!!! BIG!! and then Donnie took off to tend to our BOY.

The Canadian


Most of you have had the privledge of meeting my really great friend Erica from BC, Canada. As many of you know that a few years ago she was striken with stage 4 Breast Cancer. Meaning that the cancer had spread somewhere else in the body, which in her case, she had a little notch on her lung. The doctors have been watching every three months and well, this past doctors visit was not what anyone expected. She has a couple more notches on her lung. So, back to Chemo. She will have a mild chemo at first and hopefully that will be it. But, if that does not work, they will hit her hard. So, please say a prayer for her and family.

At the End of the DAY!
