"WAHHHH!"
Everything was great for almost three weeks and now Jonah has developed colic. We both could be wearing that hat! (compliments of Aunt Lori) Dr. Sue gave me good news...it does end! However, not for at least threee more weeks, UGH! I have been told by both my parents and my in-laws that we are (I am) getting paid back for John and I as babies. I guess we weren't easy to deal with either.
"Going Bye-Bye"
Family Photo
Even though it looks like Jonah is having a bad time, we really were having a blast. This photo was taken at "Aunt" Kim's wedding. Jonah is the reason I was not able to be in the wedding and I was named and honorary bridesmaid. The wedding was August 19th and he was originally due on the 20th so I had to back out. Little did I know he had other planned for me.
Congrats Kim and Ollie!!!!
Five Generations
Jonah is so lucky to be part of 5 generations. There is his Great Great Grandma Belair,
Great Grandma Mann, Grandma Maggy (Meyers), Mom and him. It is truly a blessing! There is quite a legacy surrounding him. Jonah has 1 Great Great Grandma, 2 Great Grandma's, 3 Great Grandpa's, 2 Grandma's, and 2 Grandpa's. We can't forget his Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and many other family member too numerous to count.
"Glow Worm"
For five days after coming home from the hospital, Jonah had a severe case of jaundice. He turned a lovely shade of pumpkin and the had to be turned into a glow worm to be returned to a normal color.
There was a fiber optic pad that was attached to a machine with a three foot cord. He had to have it on at all times unless he was getting changed or bathed. You can imagine how much fun it would be to maneuver around the house. We were visited every day by a nurse named Bridget and she had to draw his blood (out of his heel). That experience is something I would love to forget. Thank God we did not have to leave him in the hospital, but we are glad it is over just the same.
It's Bath Time!
Jonah loves his baths. We enjoy watching his expressions as he relaxes in the warm water.
"Precious Little Boy"
Jonah is such a little cutie. He surprised us all with a full head a dark hair that was accented with a lovely colic right in the center of the hairline on his forehead. I can't wait to see what type of hairstyle he will have to get in the future. When looking at his hospital photo, one would have guessed that his parents were of Hispanic descent and not Caucasian ( not that there is anything wrong with that). Thanks to the Meyers' family genetics he has very large feet and "monkey toes" like his Mom, with the long fingers to match. It also seems that he has his mom's lips. As far as his eye color goes we'll just have to wait and see. From his Dad he has received the cute little nose and his eyes. As the days go by he looks more and more like his Daddy.
"He's Here!"
After almost four years of waiting for a baby we have been blessed with a beautiful son. His name is Jonah John Miligan. On August 4, 2006 he came screaming into the world at 11:00 a.m. Jonah weighed in at 6 lbs. 15 oz. and measured 21 inches in length. He is a dream come true for both John and I. We can't believe that after 10 years with just the two of us, we are finally proud parents. It is truly a miracle!
