Ana is growing so fast!

Yesterday we went to doctor's office to see if there was a reason behind the "adorable" high-pitched and just about inconsolable screaming/wailing she had begun a few days ago. This crying shattered into our lives while celebrating Jonny's birthday (sorry Jonny) by playing games. Thankfully it was AFTER dinner out!! Anyway... we were thinking early teething... ear infection... some other sort of infection... anything! After seeing the doctor, it is just her reflux getting worse accompanied by the fact that she was just done with being out of town. She wanted to be home in her familiar world and wanted to let us all know! However, if it continues until her next appt (Oct 30th) then her reflux is getting to the point of needing meds. :( Please pray that this is not the case. I'd rather not give her regular meds at such a young age!! So, we are home again... and back to the "reflux fighting regimen"!! So far so good! :)

On another note: she is rolling now from her back to her side regularly! She prefers to sleep on her side and will put herself in this position and stay that way all night! She is also starting to reach for things! A couple days ago, we set up her jumperoo because she likes to bounce and she loves it!! She is still too short, but we stacked some books on the floor and she is happy! :)

OH! The specs! She is now 12lbs 6oz and 22.5 in!! She will be 3 months next week. Growing fast!!

Tim is doing well in his classes! He is one of the top in his class besides the native speaker that is there to learn to read and write it. Next week, because he did well on his test yesterday he only has to go to study hall 2 times a week!! YAY!!

I'm doing good... adjusting to life here. I've met some other women and we try to hang out twice a week. Anyway... Anastasia has begun crying so I have to go!

::sigh:: Never ending!

Ok, so I haven't blogged in a little bit now. We FINALLY have internet! It really only took a week and a half I think, but it seemed to take longer. :)

The Ebersoles are officially moved to Seaside, CA! Its hard to believe! Tim and I still can't believe it. When we drive and see the ocean just to the left or right of us we keep saying to each other, "We live here!" and, "The ocean is RIGHT THERE! Crazy!!" We've both pretty much spent our entire lives in California, but neither of us have lived this close to the ocean. They say Monterey is the #1 tourist destination for California residents... and we actually live here! I know, I know... it may sound like I'm rubbing it in... but seriously I'm not... I'm in shock!!

Anyway... here are the family updates:

Anastasia:
She is now 6 weeks old! Its crazy! She seems to be mellowing out on the colic... or its getting more stable as to the times she cries uncontrollably rather than being out of control for random long periods throughout the day. Her reflux is the same. :( I feel so bad for her! She seems to be in so much pain! It'll be over before I know it though! She definitely smiles more and more! She has the cutest crooked smile!! I'll post pictures soon! I have to get them all onto this computer first. Oh... and her eyes have a hint of purple in them now! At first I thought it was my imagination, but Tim mentioned it the other day. So we'll see what color they really turn out!

Tim:
Tim started "smart start" last week. It was basically a week long intense English grammar and linguistics course. It was to prepare him for the actual language classes which start this upcoming week! Fun times! He has mandatory study hall 4 nights a week for the first 2 months and PT in the afternoon once a week and in the mornings on the other days. So, I'll see him hardly ever! :( But... as with the colic and reflux... it'll be over soon. :) Oh... and he LOVES being a daddy! He got to spend a week up in Sacramento before we moved down, so he only missed the first 3 weeks of Anastasia.

Me:
I'm tired! lol I'm still unpacking... but all thats left is the unimportant decorative stuff. Mainly I hold Ana and comfort her and feed her. Oh... and I comfort Donner who is still have anxiety attacks since the move (never get a Jack Russell unless you know what you're getting!!).

Well... thats us! Again... I'll post another set of pics soon! :)

Love ya!
