It’s been a big week over here in the Meidell household — not only did Hyrum turn The Big ONE yesterday, but our oldest (Raven) started kindergarten for the first time on Tuesday (she was being homeschooled before while we waited to move to our new house). This last year has been such a blur. …
Our Christmas elf arrived a little early this year! Hyrum Matthew Born: 12/11/2019 @ 8:09 p.m. Weight: 6 lbs., 12 oz. Height: 18″ Due to being born at 35 weeks, 5 days gestation, he had to spend two days in the NICU, but he’s home with us now and healthy! Birth story and more details …
There’s the old joke about how in large families, the younger kids never seem to have any pictures of themselves while the oldest has a fully finished baby book, scrapbook, monthly update log online, etc. Well, we don’t have a large family, but one thing is for sure–I definitely have written up much less about …
At exactly 37 weeks (and definitely earlier than planned!), we welcomed our son, Mathias (muh-THIGH-us) David Meidell, into the world at 5:34 a.m. after a whole two hours (!) of labor. He was 6 lbs., 13 ounces, and 18.5″ long, and he reminds me a LOT of Raven when she was a baby (but just …
I took Raven to her 18-month doctor’s appointment yesterday, and let’s just say that her memory of her last trip there must have been crystal clear since she immediately looked terrified. Poor girl! Luckily, she only cried for about 15 seconds while getting her shots and then was happy to nestle her face into my …
Because I don’t dare try to do a photo shoot with her on our bed (as per my previous baby stats posts), I figured I’d just drop in these photos instead (from when she was about 14 1/2 months, if we want to get technical). I mean, they were pretty cute, so I had to …
Here we are, almost a month late, but better late than never, right? Actually, this will be the last of the monthly updates, mostly just because I (obviously) have a hard time keeping up on them. The photo shoots have gotten pretty crazy (both in execution and in editing), and I think any updates from …
Raven is now less than a month away from being a year old, a fact that seems at odds with the motherly part of my brain that insists that she’s still my tiny baby, only a few months old really. But eleven months sure is fun (even if it seems like my girl has a …
