Inappropriate? You decide!

Today we had a whole slew of Mayo appointments again. It wasn't our best day out there-- Malachi had to be sedated for his Echo, and that didn't go over so well. BUT- that is not what this post is about. This post is about something I did after our final appointment of the day. John thought it was kindof inappropriate and rude. I disagree- YOU decide!

Our final appointment of the day was with a Dr. from genetics. During the appointment the Dr. wanted to look at Malachi, which meant waking him up, which in turn made him grumpy (see sedated above). I tried to appease him by feeding him. As he was eating he filled his pants (as usual). He seemed to have a lot coming out, and I was concerned that we might have a "blow-out" if I didn't change him soon. The Dr.'s office was more like an actual office space, but did have a cushy bench for us to sit on and the standard patient table. I asked the Dr. if I could change Malachi before we left. He said it was okay, so I did change him. That's it.

So, was it okay for me to change Malachi there in the office, or not? Remember, he eats breastmilk, so the diaper didn't stink. :)

Life has been crazy!

Hello everyone! I've heard from several people that we need to update the blog... sorry it's taken so long! Life has been especially crazy for me this past week as my 5th grade class went on their big Eagle Bluff trip; it's 3 days and 2 nights of non-stop learning and fun. I didn't spend the night with them, however; my team covered for me so that I could come home at nights. That was good, but I was out of the house from 7:30am until 7:30pm. Oh! And John was awesome about making sure Malachi was taken care of. :)

Malachi's dedication on Saturday night was wonderful. Here's a picture from the night. It's not terribly clear, but it's all I've got. Maybe John's mom got one that is better that I can post later on.

Here are some other pictures I thought I would share. Things continue to go well with Malachi, health-wise. He did manage to catch a little cold in the last week, but he's done really well with it, so no complaints!

This is Malachi completely wiped out after his first day at daycare.


I just think this picture is cute. He also happens to be wearing an outfit we bought right after we found out I was pregnant last June.


These 2 are the closest I've gotten of smiles while I actually have the camera.

Baby Dedication

Hello Friends,

I just thought I'd let you know that Malachi is being dedicated at church this weekend! If you are interested and able to come, we'd love to see you. This will happen at the 5:30pm service at Christ Community Church. Maybe we'll see you there!
