Growing like a WEED!

Well it's been a few months since the last blog update and our little boy is growing like a weed!

Jordy turned 1 on January 8, right after we returned from watching the Jimmies play in Phoenix and Denver.  Both stops were SO much fun as we got to spend some time with Justin's great aunts and uncles on the Henning side (Kay & Dennise and Warne & Janelle) and with Sissa, Nick, their little boy Lucas and Angie, Paul and their little boy Oliver!  Jordy even went to his FIRST NBA game, the Denver Nuggets!  (it was mine, too!)

The Jimmies struggled on the trip but then had a great ending to the season, beating the #9 ranked team in the conference tournament to earn a trip to the NAIA National Tourney!!!  Not too bad for Coach Wieck's first season.  So, naturally, I took a week off work and packed a 1 year old for a 15 hour BUS trip to BRANSON, Missouri!  The Jimmies came up short in the tournament but it was so awesome to get a quick stop in Kansas City to see my cousin Christopher and dear friend Tiffany, and then Jeff, Karna, Leah, Jalen, Jackson, Abby, Brent, & my parents all in Branson.  While the coaching carousel can be really challenging sometimes on the homefront, we get to do a lot of fun and special things and do lots of traveling.  And other than ME having a meltdown at a Wendy's and Jordy having a metltown at the Dixie Stampede, the trip went so well.  The guys on the team are so great with Jordy, playing with him and teaching him tricks.  He now nods his head "yes", gives knuckles, and loves stealing headphones.

We were able to make it back to Iowa for Easter.  It was pretty fun watching Jordy "hunt" for Easter eggs with Cady & Owen.  They were both SO sweet and helpful trying to show him what to do!  Jordy didn't get much of an Easter basket but we decided it was finally time to get the kid his own hoop (I know you can't believe it, but he didn't have one!).  So I guess we can consider that an Easter gift.... He has known since he was about 10 months (& walking) that the ball goes in the hoop and just begs the team or his daddy to pick him up high so he can put it in there.  So now he has a 39" hoop and he loves it SO much and cries whenever we try to put it away.

We are learning the ins and outs of home ownership!  Even though we owned our condo in Iowa City, owning a HOUSE is a whole new ballgame.  Needless to say we are the two most un-handy people in the world and have all ready replaced our heater and we are going through a bathroom renovation which might just put me over the edge.  It started March 25 and still isn't completed.  Joke is on you HGTV fans, except the part about ALWAYS uncovering extra expenses... so far that has true :)  Oh well.  I know we will love it when we are done and fingers crossed that what they say is accurate about improving the re-sale value someday.  Blessed are those who are able to pay their bills, right?

Our baby had his 15 month check up this week.  As usual, we walked in and Jordy greets everyone "hi, hi, hi, hi" and makes SURE they say it back!  He charmed all the nurses and is now 85% percentile in height and weight.  He weight jumped enough that we were told to go from whole to 2% milk, so maybe he won't be QUITE as lean as Daddy!  He is 25.8 pounds and 31 1/2 inches tall.  I swear he is learning a new word every day.  He "talked" so much at the check up the doctor forgot to order his shots because she thought he was 18 months all ready.  Lucky boy, they recovered and gave him his shots.  As usual, he hated it and told the nurse "No, No!"  he quickly forgave her in exchange for the dum dum.

I am renewing my goal to blog once a month, it's actually helps me reflect when we are so busy and don't keep much of a schedule... how much we have done and what we get to do together!  So until then, never be to busy to count your blessings too!

Watching Baby Einstein.  The only thing that gets him to sit for 15 minutes EVER

Wieck's New Years Card 2013

Reflections on the first year!

Well, here it is.  We've kept Jordy alive for an entire year.  And if you know his parents, that's quite the accomplishment.  Justin's mom just asked me over the holidays what it was like being a mom for a whole year.  The only thing I could think of to say was, I'm actually a little better at this than I thought I would be!  I personally find being a mom terrifying.  Between worrying about SIDS and Jordy choking on something while I'm watching Good Morning America instead of watching him, I've popped more than one zit and grown a few extra grey hairs (and shout out to my sister(s) for helping me get rid of those over Christmas!).

Let's start at the beginning.  Pregnancy is HARD!  I had morning sickness OH about 5 minutes into being pregnant that turned into all day and all night sickness.  I was tired all the time and couldn't stand most smells.  I had a small reprieve during weeks 24-29, then it all came back, along with painful wake-me-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night leg cramps.  I am not sure why I thought it would be a good idea to try my hand at being a school principal for the first time?  But as you see I live to tell the tale.  I admit, even with all this, I did like being pregnant.  It's a pretty cool feeling, especially later when you can tell which exact body part is jamming you in the ribs.

And then there was labor and delivery.  YIKES.  If you get queasy stop reading now.  Because it looks like a war zone in there.  After the hand grenade went off in the nether regions (I spare you the details, besides, it's a much better story in person), we had to have a C-section.  Not in the Birth Plan!  STOP! NO!  Wait, there will be no more pain?!  Yes doctor PLEASE HELP ME!  Take him through my foot!  Pull him out my nose!  I love you Dr!  Things get a little fuzzy from here on out but as Justin comments, "They pulled all your guts out and they were just laying everywhere, then they told me it was a boy!"

If you think you can wait to find out the sex of the baby, I highly recommend it.  After 19 hours of the S&*% hitting the fan, that was pretty much all I had going for me-- finding out if we had a boy or a girl!  Plus, I'm convinced we saved a ton of money because when you're pregnant you just want to buy every cute little baby thing that you see, especially clothes and shoes, and then once you have the baby you realize they just wear white onesies for about 6 weeks and everything else people buy for you (people love to buy your baby clothes!  It's awesome!)

But seriously, just like that, they took my guts out and he was here.  I remember they said "What's the baby's name?"  And neither one of us answered!  Ha!  We were too surprised it was our kid and it just didn't feel like we were given permission to name this beautiful human being! Justin followed with exact precision my copious notes on who receives a phone call and text, and then properly waited until the next afternoon for the dutiful facebook post (which are the most unflattering pictures of me on facebook you will EVER see, completely bloated and pumped full of God knows what, but after-war pictures are never pretty).

 One of the nurses took our camera to get this shot.  This is them showing Jordan to me over the curtain after the C-section.  I'll be honest, I really couldn't see much :)

 I absolutely hate this picture of me.  This is when they brought him down to me in Recovery.  I am so bloated I could hardly move my mouth to smile.  But the boys look cute.

So, for my top 10 learnings during Year 1:  (pause for effect)

#1: The Glory that is the Rock And Play.  If you don't spend $70 on this for your baby, I will seek to have you committed.  Jordy slept in this sucker for 8 months, literally until he crawled out of it and I found him in the kitchen one morning.  And sooooooo easy to travel with it.  This thing is so good, we brought it to daycare the first day for him to nap in, and his daycare provided went out a just bought one.  Yep!

 

 #2: Breastfeeding is NOT easy.  First of all, joke's on you Moms because you don't actually have milk come in until AFTER you leave the hospital.  So while you're there recovering from surgery it feels like your precious newborn is sticking a knife in your boob while other people are pushing on them and all you hear is a piercing newborn hungry cry (shudder).  It's also not easy traveling with baby... SO GET A GOOD BREAST PUMP with ALL the accessories!  Car charger, battery charger, etc, etc, etc!  My last piece of advice is find a good lactation consultant that you connect with.  Some of them really suck but Kim from Avera St. Luke's is awesome.  All she did was tell me things like: "You can't screw this up!  You're a great mom!  He is perfect!"  Also, Justin was a champ.  He covered all diaper changes AND always got me something to eat/drink when I was strapped down.

#3: You will not get ANYTHING done on your maternity leave.  Do not Pinterest new recipes.  Do not make promises to work like you'll be available by E-mail (I did this----VERY dumb).  Between feeding, pumping, rocking, cuddling, playing, Googling "baby acne", sanitizing, and uploading a daily photo of your baby, it is exhausting!  So please just get out one of your freezer meals (you DID prepare these in advance, right?!) so you don't bite your husband's head off when he asks you what's for dinner. (Because you were home all day, right?)

#4: Never be afraid to call the doctor.  Guess what you usually don't talk to the doc anyway.  The nurses are super nice and answer all of your new-mom questions right over the phone.  Tip: They usually listen to baby's symptoms, then tell you to do nothing :)  Call in a week if he's not better.  But, it stops the worrying (or at least it did for me).

#5: Other people giving advice are just trying to help you.  Use what you like, discard what you don't, and trust your instincts.

#6: Accept offers of help.  If someone wants to bring over a meal, do your grocery shopping (side note: We bought Gift Cards to our grocery store before baby was born, so when my sisters came after the baby, I sent them on their way with the list!) or do your laundry, let 'em.  Guess what everyone wears underwear so just let them do your laundry!  Or if they want to watch the baby.  I never like leaving Jordy with a babysitter, so if someone you trust offers to watch the baby, at least go to Target by yourself.  You WILL have a panic attack the first time.  But if you are like me and don't have any family that lives within 700 miles of you, your friends are your family and your baby will be JUST fine!  But you CAN wait until YOU are ready, don't let people FORCE you.

#7: We do everything we can to NOT compare to other babies.  Hard but we try.

#8: We found out we really DO work as a team!  And if I do say so myself, Justin and I are pretty darn good at it.  He knows when I say, "Do you think the baby is cold/tired/hungry?" that I mean, "I THINK the baby is cold/tired/hungry, and I would like you to fix that."

#9: When your husband brings home beer (or wine), put the baby to bed and drink it!  Even on a weeknight!

#10: Cry It Out works.  It really REALLY does!!!

Well, those are my musings on the first year.  Did I leave anything out??!!!  Cheers to a new chapter--- having a 1 year old!!!!!

 Little baby, about 6 weeks old

Happy Birthday little love nugget!

Jordan Jeffrey is 11 Months Old!

Aye da guy da guy da guy! 
This is what we are woken up to most every morning!  We're not sure yet what it means, but that's exactly what it sounds like.  All is well in the Wieck house with a baby sleeping ALL night in his crib!  Although I believe the experts should re-name Cry It Out to Scream It Out like a Crazed Banshee, whatever you want to call it, it works!!!!!!!!!!

In the last month, the Jamestown College Jimmies are now 6-6, and the last 3 games we've lost to Top Ten Ranked opponents by a COMBINED 5 points.  Sheesh, so close!  Even Jordy and I were sweating in the stands!  The team is honestly improving with EVERY game, and the Coach is getting better too!  Jordy continues to be really awesome at the game.  The assistant coach's wife and I have gotten really close the last 3 months and she and her husband love Jordy as much as we do and it really helps having someone else to help entertain during the games.  For the most part he really does just sit and watch!  We LOVED having Grandma Karna, Aunt Abby and Aunt Mer come up to visit and see a home game!  All are welcome, it is really fun watching Justin coach!

And now it's time for what you've all been waiting for~ Jordy time!!!  This little guy is growing FAST and getting into everything!!!  Although we were happy he was walking a little before 10 months, I do think it is better for babies to wait.  They just don't have the depth perception yet to be walking around banging their head into stuff. I feel TERRIBLE whenever he falls down or bonks his head on stuff :(   So don't mind the bumps and bruises, but we hope you enjoy him as much as we do!

Diaper size:  4

Clothes Size: 

 18 months.  *sigh* Time to pack away all the cute 12 month stuff!

Sleeping:  

YES!  7:30-7:30 in his crib.  45 minute morning nap and 2 hour afternoon nap (although I'm told he doesn't do a morning nap at daycare).  For the most part at night he goes down with minimal fuss.  Still cries it out about 5 minutes for naps.  When we travel and then come home we do have an adjustment period but it 3 days we're back to normal!

Eating: 

Pureed fruit + cereal for breakfast, finger foods for lunch and dinner and lots of snacks!  About 26 oz of various sized bottles throughout the day.  Drinks water from a big boy sippy cup.  I think the transition to sippy only will be smooth, but I will be sad to see the bottles go!  At Thanksgiving he started his new trick of spitting out baby food at us!  He likes to feed himself!

Playing: 

LOVES dancing and playing with blocks!  LOVES balls, especially basketballs (wonder!).  He likes to take things out and put them away.  Especially in all the drawers in the kitchen!!!  He also is recently into climbing.  He tries to get onto the furniture and crawls inside drawers.  He still LOVES books!

TEETH:  8 and one popping through.  

Accomplishments:

-Lots of talking!!!  Mama, Dada, bye bye, Ball (baa), Grampa (bampa), Hi
-Brushes his teeth
-Lots of mimicking!  Both sounds and actions, he tries whatever we're doing.  Pretty freakin cute.
-Walking and running
-Waves bye bye
-Blows kisses
-Throws a ball (I'm serious, he does!)
-"helps" put away his toys

All in all, he's wonderful and healthy.  Jordy and I went back to Iowa for Thanksgiving.  He did great with all the travel and sleeping in 2 new places.  We missed Daddy!  I also had my 10 year high school reunion.  It was fun to catch up with some friends and meet my friend Angie's 6 month old son.  It definitely gave me a great perspective about reflecting on how far I've come in 10 years and all that I have!!! I wish Justin could have been there, I'm all ready looking forward to the next reunion! 

I think this whole holiday season, we all have the chance to take a breath from our busy lives, pause and rejoice in all of our blessings!  As I look back on November alone, in all 30 days I saw Justin only 14 of them!  Sometimes we are two ships passing in the night:)  We just have to remember to make the days count and thank God for his wonderful gifts to us!  Wishing you all peace and happiness!!!!

 Put up the Christmas tree before Daddy's game!

10 Months Old!

Whew, finally, a new blog.  Staying true to my 'at least once a month' goal!!!

Our little nugget turned 10 months old yesterday.  He seems so new, and yet it feels like he's been in our family forever.  What you've missed from Team Wieck.....

Justin's team the Jamestown Jimmies had their first two games.  They won BOTH!!!  We are accustomed to home openers being exhibition that are a little less of a test, but we played a TOUGH team from Canada.  Grandma Karna and Grandpa Jeff came up for the weekend to watch the Sathers came up for Fridays game.  It was so nice having family there!!!  I was worried about Jordy would do at the games because he's so mobile and curious but he actually sat and watched!  He was GREAT!

A few pics from the Head Coach's first WINS!!!!!!

 Looking a little anxious pre-game

 Jordy snuggling with Grandpa before the games.  He was SO awesome

 After the game playing with buddy Sam

After the game with Sathers

 Justin's mom and dad.  Very proud after the win!

Then the Jimmies hit the road and played the #4 and #7 ranked teams.  For a YOUNG team we played REALLY well and kept it close in the first half, but lost both.  So now we are 2-2 with a home game tonight and away game tomorrow!  Hopefully on Sunday we'll be 4-2!!!!!!!

Then, we MOVED into our house!!!!  Why do I NOT have pictures yet?!  Here are two of a little helper: 

 We have a HUGE deck that we love and Jordy was going crazy at the door and looked out and saw a HUGE wild turkey perched up there!  Have no idea how he got up there but we had fun watching him for awhile!

And of course came Halloween!  Jordy HATES hats or anything on his head so it was a challenge finding a cute baby costume that didn't include anything on his head.  I found this online and it was soooooooo cute and his cousin Owen had the same costume!!!  Here is Superman!

 And here is Superman playing with the team at our house during Daddy's team meeting

Finally getting a little braver with Jordy trying more finger foods.  So far he has LOVED everything.  Here is the little guy trying blueberries for the first time:

Other than that, we are adjusting to our new schedules and lives in Jamestown.  Justin typically works 8 am - 7 pm every weekday, then he comes home and puts the baby to bed (on nights when he isn't monitoring team study hall) and when Jordy and I go to bed he calls recruits and/or watches film (of other teams or our own games).  Weekends are filled up, too, with either games, going recruiting, hosting recruits, practices and staff meetings.  We were fairly warned but you still have no idea the time commitment of being a head coach until you are actually living it. He is also teaching a class at the college 3 days a week.  We will miss him at Thanksgiving (and our high school reunion!) this year as the Jimmies are playing in Montana, but we will celebrate when he gets home with our basketball family.  I feel so lucky and blessed to have such a hard working husband who loves his job so much.  But needless to say, the unpacking is SLOW going :)

So here is an update on Jordy, since he is growing SO fast!!!

Diaper Size: 4.  OH MY GOSH!

Clothes Size: 12 months or 18 months.  Seriously.

Sleeping:  Good Lord I am a NEW Woman!!!  We decided the move into the new house was the time to start sleep training. It was perfect timing since he is somewhat old enough to understand that we don't leave him FOREVER and he is currently NOT cutting teeth.  I knew that we weren't doing him any favors letting him use us as a crutch to fall asleep (it was a long 9 months of rocking and shushing!).  I really want him to have the skills to fall asleep by himself when he can.  So night #1 we put him down in his crib, drowsy yet awake, and that little stinker SCREAMED and CRIED for 55 minutes.  Luckily we have a white noise machine and our rooms are further apart than we've ever had.  Justin slept like a rock right through it!!!  Night #2, he cried for 30 minutes.  Night #3, he cried for 10 minutes.  Now it is 10 minutes or sometimes even less or just a little whimper and he is sleeping 11 hours!  We do the same routine for naps.  We are ALL 3 SLEEPING BETTER!

Eating:  He is still drinking formula and eating purees (I love that he has fruits and veggies every day), but more and more eating finger foods.  He's had noodles, waffles, blueberries, green beans, cheese, meat, scrambled eggs.  This kid will eat anything.  He still loves puffs and yogurt bites for snacks.

Accomplishments:

-A WALKING BABY!!! Jordy started walking around 9ish months, but still preferred to crawl.  Now he walks EVERYWHERE!

-Says "mama" and "dada" to the right person!  Says "hi" and "mmm" for milk!!!  The dr. said we are going to have an early talker.

-Responds and walks over when you say "Come here Jordy"

-Makes kissing noise when you blow kisses at him

-Waves bye-bye (sometimes)

-Shakes his head "no" when you tell him "no".  He OBVIOUSLY doesn't quite understand the meaning of this word yet though!

Well, until next time!

 It's fun being 10 months old~

 Getting into everything :)

     

 

9 Months Old!

On Monday our adorable little nugget turned 9 months old.  He's accomplished quite a bit in 9 months, all ready been on a plane and lived in 2 states!  We also went to our first doctor's appointment in Jamestown.  With very little time to do my research, literally just picked the only pediatrician in this town!  Come to find out, since she is the only pediatrician, she typically works with the high risk or special needs cases, so the nurse practitioner does the well baby visits.  I was totally okay with this since let's be honest the nurses do 90% of the work anyway, but I did want to meet the doctor.  I think Justin was embarassed how many times and how many people I had to ask to actually meet the doctor, but in case we ever did need her for something I wanted to meet her, get the vibe, and have her see how freakin adorable her new patient is.  So we met her and she was great, and she explained again she wouldn't be seeing Jordy unless absolutely necessary (see doctor=bad news).  We also really liked the CNP so that was good.  Unfortunately for Jordy, you don't get any shots at 9 months, except that it's flu season, so he did!  He gets his follow up shot on Nov 9, and Justin and I get ours, too.

Jordy's stats:

Weight: 20 Pounds (65th percentile)
Height: 30 Inches (97th percentile)  (for Reference, I am 62 inches.......)

Diapers: We are going to make the jump to size 4.  I know the package says up to 28 pounds for size 3 but I don't like it when I see the marks on the legs.  so Up we go.  Also, definitely a Pampers guy.  We knew he had allergic reactions to Target brand diapers but we tried Luvs and same thing happened with the rash on the tummy.  *Sigh*

Sleeping: Well, we tried crying it out.  The kid screamed for 35 minutes.  We do let him cry it out to fall asleep but if he wakes up in the night we go get him.  We need our sleep and we are still in the apartment!  When we get our house we're going cold turkey crib!  9 month roller coaster is about to cruise to a halt!

Eating: Still loving all fruits and veggies and getting used to more textures.  Eats Puffs and shredded cheese for finger foods.  The CNP was actually in agreement with me on being a psycho about choking!  She said it was okay to go as slow as we're comfortable with.  The kid puts everything in his mouth.  I have found, among other things, him chewing on one of my earrings!

Accomplishments:  -Stands on his own and has taken 2 steps.  Yikes!
-Flushes the toilet (stinker!)
-Points to picture of Daddy  (still working on mom!)
-Turns pages of his books.  Learned this little trick from my friend Tina, say "Turn the page" every time you read little one books and then they start to actually do it themselves.  Gotta get a video of this, it is really amazing!

Other than that, he's pretty much an amazing little boy.  He totally lights up when either one of us gets home and belly laughs at just about everything.  He loves to crawl around in the kitchen and bang everything together!

This week is a BIG week for the Wieck family.  Justin is making his head coaching debut this week!  The Jimmies play at home vs. Brandon University out of Canada (pause for effect)  Yes Canada.  They play both Friday and Saturday night.  Justin is cool as a cucumber and I of course am sweating just thinking about it!  We are so excited that Jeff & Karna will be here to cheer him on and of course some help with Mr. Won't Sit Still during the games.  I hope that you follow our season.  It is crazy to think that Justin really is living his dream of being a head college basketball coach.  I still haven't wrapped my mind around it.  I can't wait to see him in action!!!!  And of course I am beginning my formal duties as head coach's wife and hosting a little get together for the parents of the players after Saturday's game.  I feel bad we haven't had the team over yet but it's first order of business once we have a house!  Until then, enjoy your blessings and here's some shots of my blessings:

Sleeping baby!

So tired

Watching Daddy coach at practice.  Team is looking good!

 

 

Here is our first attempt at getting a 9 month pic...........

 Thank Goodness the iPhone has that feature where you can flip the camera and look at yourself.  Someone is a little vain.... but it works to get a picture :)

 Night night Jordy!  Stay in your crib all night, will ya???

Double Ear Infections!

What a week!  Justin had to travel to Minneapolis to recruit last Wednesday, which as you know is my "busy" day at work (I work 8 am to 9 pm).  So, I had all ready planned to pick up Jordy at daycare around 5, run home grab the diaper bag and be back by 5:30 for a Sacrament tutoring session and then have him join the volunteer babysitting that night (she watches a 4 month old and 4 year old children of 2 of our catechists).  Which was all ready a big step for me since I didn't know this lady really well and I have NEVER left Jordy with someone I didn't know well.  (Although, if you think about, the daycare providers during the day are virtual strangers before you start.... Anyway...)

And yet, I get a call at 3:45 that he had woken up from a looooooooong nap (And I should back up and mention the kid slept ALL night in his crib and had to be woken up to even go to daycare, should've been a red flag!)  and that he had a fever of 102*.  My first instinct, of course, was to PANIC!!!  But I calmly told her to please give him 1.25mL of baby tylenol and I would call the doctor.  Well all the nurse said is "We can't just see every kid that has a fever."  I had a few interesting retorts since I have NEVER gotten that kind of response from our Pediatrics in Aberdeen (and I am on a first name basis with the receptionist & nurses, and if you remember, we lived next door to the Doctor).  So I calmly made an appointment for the following day in case he still had a fever and went to pick him up.  We decided between the two of us that his behavior was just unusual as he slept almost all day (what!) didn't finish all his food (unheard of!) was not interested in playing (who's baby?!) and was just a little too cuddly with me (of course I like cuddles but he's usually too busy!).  So I decided to take him to the walk-in clinic that was open until 5.

Upon entering a room of near death looking individuals coughing and hacking, we finally saw the doctor and thank goodness I listened to my instincts because Jordy had DOUBLE ear infections.  BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!  So they called in a prescription for Amoxicillian and away we went to the local grocery store to pick it up.  At this point it's after 5 and I'm sweating because he STILL has a fever and haven't been home yet to get his neccesities to get back at work.... Waiting.... Waiting... Waiting.... NO PRESCRIPTION.  So since they're open until 9, we decide to leave.  And then I called back about 8:00 pm to check on Jordy's prescription.... STILL did not come in.  What the heck Dr!  So I did what any normal mother would do, I called the ER and asked for the doctor on call.  Explained the situation and the mystery of the missing prescription and sure enough he called it right in.  PHEW!  So, here is double ear infection boy.....

Still LOVES Walks!
