Brandon Paul Sandmeier

Sorry It has taken me a week and a half after he was born to post something.. We have been Busy Busy Busy..

So Brandon Paul Sandmeier was born on 1-21-2010 at 12:06 am. He was 7lbs 5oz at birth and 20 1/4 in. long. He had a rough start into the world but it was all worth it and Everyone is doing great.

We got home from the hosptial on Friday afternoon and have been enjoying out time together while Jason has some time off work. He goes back to work tomorrow. So that will be interesting to see if I can handle all this on my own while he is out at work. I am sure we will be fine.

We had our second Doctors apointment today to make sure Brandon was gaining some weight. We had brought him to the doctor last week, for his first check up and because he was starting to act different. He wouldnt eat, poop or pee. He was very sleepy all the time and we were concerned. So we found out that Brandon was deyhidrated and hadn Jaundice. They brought over a lighted bed and belt for him to wear so that we could use phototherepy to make him all better. We went to the doc today and he is 2oz heavier than his birth weight so all is back to normal now. He is eating much better and Now has no problem in the pooping department. ha ha.

We had our first road trip this last weekend. We headed out to Aberdeen to visit Grandma and Grandpa Sandmeier and Uncle andy and Aunt Lynn. Brandon did great. He showed everyone how he barley ever cries and he is such a good boy.

Now that we are home we have been letting him lay in his crib or on the floor in his boppy pillow all day cuz he was getting held all weekend at the Grandparents. But that's ok. We enojoyed showing him off.

Mommy and Daddy even got to go out on friday night to enjoy a beer (or two) with Uncle Andy. I hadn't had a beer in at least 10 months (probably a bit more) and it was WONDERFUL.. However we only stayed for two beers and since it was the first time we had left Brandon we missed him already. So we headed home. Jerry and Mary were very suprised to see us home before 4 am (which is about when we used to come home when we went out in Aberdeen) Things changed a bit now.

Well Brandon is starting to wake up. It is time for him to eat again.. (seems like it always is) So I better wrap this up. I will post some very cute pics of him next time.. (maybe even later on today, after MY nap time.)

Talk to you all later
