Starting from Scratch

Going along with the last post, we think one reason Eva has been a little fussier than normal is because she’s been drinking more formula, which doesn’t sit too well in her stomach. Over the weekend, I started to give her more formula than usual because we were out with family a lot and it’s […]

Dear Baby Eva, You finally are here! In just the short time you’ve been with us, your mom and dad have fallen in love with you. We are so grateful you are ours and can’t imagine life without you. Doctor Judd told me that some people are great at having babies. Those people had their […]
