Christopher Kekoa ka 'Ahu 'ula-O-Kalani nui Mehameha Mitchell was born on Sunday November 4th at 1:27pm! He weighed 8lbs 11oz and was 20.5in long. He is my perfect little boy. It is so amazing I have never seen a more sweet little child then Kekoa. He never cries which I know will change but for the time being he is perfect. He sleeps about 22 hours a day which I know is insane. We have to set an alarm to wake him for night time feedings. Because he was born by c-section my milk is having problems coming in so right now we are having problems latching him and having to suppliment with formula and pumping. I feel like I pump all the time just for him to drain it. It is a good cause though. My sweet angel is well worth the cause.

4 months old!! I can't believe it is already spring time. My little boy is growing so fast. As for breastfeeding, we beat the odds. He is now only on breastmilk with two bottles a day at day care. It is such a wonderful feeling to accomplish this feat. It was just a weak sucker at the beginning and needed time to grow. And that he is doing. He is trying to sit up and stand! We are going to his check up on Friday but last time I weighed him he is was 15lbs and 27in long. WOW! My big boy. I love him to death. Oh and he is still the sweet little angel. Only cries when he is hungry, tired or hurting. We all just got over the flu and poor little guy tried his hardest to be happy during it. We survived.

8Months Old! Time is flying so fast. I'm on here everyday but I never have time to update my profile. It's usually jump on and off. HAHA! So let's see. What has been going on? Christopher Kekoa turns 8months on the 4th of July. He is cruising like a pro and starting to let go of the furniture. He has two teeth and cutting the third. He's still an angel. He loves everyone and brightens all our lives. Ok, so babies think but what do they think about? With Kekoa it's weird. You look into his eyes and it seems like there is much more going on then a lot of babies his age. It's awesome watching him figure things out. We have one smart cookie on our hands. He is now over 20lbs now and just moved to his big boy seat. We bought the Britax Boulevard. It's a beast but it is the safest on the market right now and I love it! As for our biggest challenge, it's no more! We are still breastfeeding and going strong! He is eating solids like a pro although he doesn't have a big belly yet. He's saving room for his teen years. I'm still working but I am paying down debt and hopefully a little while after we buy a house I can quit. YAY! That is my #1 goal. I want to be a stay at home Mommy.....

This is Joe and I on our wedding day and our wedding party! The center lady in red was 8months pregnant with my nephew. The other two munchkins are mine three year old niece and nephew. How cute!

He is 7cm (2.8in.) long and has a heart beat of 168. And this is my three month belly!! Baby Mitchell at 11.5 weeksy shot.

Above are two of my 20week pictures. We are having a boy!! The photos are his profile and his little baby parts. Ahhh how cute! His weight is 13oz. and his heartbeat is 145bpm.

So you all asked...Here is my belly at 20weeks 2 days.

I finally took a 26week belly photo. Getting bigger!!

4D ultra sound at almost 29 weeks! I have so many pictures (60) it was so hard to choose ones to put up on the site but above is the first photo they took, before we woke him up. Next to it is a picture of him smiling after he woke up.

These two pictures are of Kekoa sucking his thump and yawning.

nikkin - Monday, 21 Jan
OMG - i am sooo sorry i didnt mean to offend you, my mind is elsewhere at the moment as you can appreciate with baby stuff and sleepless nites and constant nappy changes, apologies for upsetting i never meant it that way xx


munkobaby - Tuesday, 15 Jan
How'd you like the snow this morning? Fun huh? The girls loved it, Taylor got to sleep in an extra couple hours and I got to drive her to school in it. I actually love it when it snows - it's funny how things shut down around here though. They didnt' even pick up our garbage today??? Nuts. Glad to hear little man is doing so well. Sleeping through the night is definitely something to celebrate! SO, do you go back to work on Feb. 11? Have you found a good daycare that you feel good about? That's the most important thing. It's great to hear from you honey! My pregnancy is going okay. I have a hernia and there's nothign that can be done about it until after I recover from the csection. I have a long time to live with it, and it's so painful. Other than that, I have no complaints. Big hugs! xoxoxj


MELISSAW. - Sunday, 6 Jan
ugh... did you get your period yet? Oh god, it was a doozy! I felt terrible. Hey, don't worry about the weight. I'm not. :-) Weight Watchers, here I come! LOL! I can tell from your pictures that you have a thick bone structure and you are super tall. Lucky girl.... !!!! A size 14 is GREAT! I am in a 16 right now. :-(


MELISSAW. - Saturday, 5 Jan
Awwww... Bri... that was so sweet. I have 2 seconds to respond and I have to go take care of Evan, But I wanted to say the same sentiments. I don't know how I would have gotten though this pregnancy without you and I consider you one of my closest friends also. Good night lady, kisses! :-) PS... we will def stay in touch!!


MELISSAW. - Friday, 4 Jan
Hummmm... where do I begin? When I first brought Evan home, all he did is take cat naps all day long. And he wanted to be held constantly. Now, I can lay him down on the couch next to me (like now) and he just looks around and Coo's for a while. What you have to start doing is let him fuss a bit. He needs to get used to keeping himself content for a bit or he will not be happy at daycare. And that would just break your heart. Don't leave him lay until he is crying... but let him fuss a little.

It is tough because Kekoa is your first. And your lacking confidence and I swear they know! Once you are more relaxed, he will come around. I feed Evan and give him tons of kisses and play with him until he falls asleep... then I lay him down. Whether he wakes or not. Then I only pick him up if he cries. It is to the point that he doesn't wake and just sleeps.

Evan takes a 1-2 hour nap in the morning, then cat naps till a late afternoon nap. He takes a bottle every 3 hours, about 5 ounces and rarely misses a feeding. :-) My chunky monkey.

Once Kekoa can amuse himself more, you'll be able to relax and not feel like your day is constantly trying to amuse him. It is a frantic feeling...like 'now what do I do with him?'... but it doesn't have to feel like that. I hope this helps. :-) And then yes, I clean or do laundry or make bottles. It never ends. But I work around him. Yesterday I started cleaning my kitchen cabinets and had to stop half way through and couldn't finish them until today. Oh well. Hang in there lady. Oh, I just picked up Baby Einstein video for 3 month old babies... I will let you know if it works. :-)


MELISSAW. - Thursday, 3 Jan
Hello Lady! We are all good. It is nice to hear you enjoyed your holidays. Our holidays were quiet. Before I forget.... NOPE, not skinny, I have gained 5 pounds since I had the baby. I had to diet while pregnant with diabetes. Not fun. :-) I can not believe how quick the time is going. Evan is getting much easier to care for. I am actually able to get more stuff done around the house. Oh gosh, I just love having a baby in the house again. Makes me want more.
Are you ready to go back to work?
I bet your family enjoyed Kekoa. Isn't it great to get a break? I miss that. My MIL used to love my babies as much as I do, but now she lives too far away. And my mom is not very lovie. Oh well. So, what else is new? How is Joe with the little guy? Russ has been a workaholic through the holidays. I may not even see him till February. He got a monster bonus, but it doesn't make up for not having him around. Evan is fussing.... chat later. :-)


MELISSAW. - Monday, 31 Dec
Hey! How are you? I am going to be on the 2 month page tomorrow. Hope your up for some chatting! Miss you


Jamiekid - Monday, 31 Dec
Bri, your son is beautiful. I haven't been on in a while so I am just catching up now. Congrats. How are things going?


3 awesome babies - Thursday, 4 Oct
hey bri how is it going.


MELISSAW. - Wednesday, 3 Oct
That is so weird! I can read your profile. It is funny, but I knew there might be an out cry of people saying something about the caesar salads as I pushed the button. I know we are not supposed to eat them.....this is where I play chicken. :-) How are you? I know when you are anxious or upset, we really don't here much from you. So, I have really been wondering! I really need to get out of the house for a bit today. I need a few things from Michaels Crafts. I am trying to consertively decorate for Halloween. Who knows, I might have my baby!


Micheleandbaby - Wednesday, 3 Oct
Thanks for the comment about Ceasar dressing. I love Ceasar salads, but I haven't been able to find any dressings not made with raw eggs. If you have a brand to suggest and maybe where I could get it that would be much appreciated. I used to ask when we would dine out, but finally gave up. Hope all is well with you.


ALOHA<3 - Tuesday, 2 Oct

MELISSAW. - Wednesday, 26 Sep
Bri, where you be? I haven't had too much to say lately.... except for today. I am chattier. All unpacked? Did you start working on the baby's room? How is work going????


MELISSAW. - Friday, 21 Sep
HI BRI! Great day! They cancelled my appointment and reschedualed for this morning. It was tuff in traffic to get to the doctor's office, but well worth it! I will just repost my message on your page....... Hi everyone! I just got back from my ultrasound and am soooo excited! I am exactly 32 weeks and 6 days. The baby's head is measuring at 35 weeks, leg bone at 35 weeks and belly at 34 weeks. The doctor looked over my measurements and said 'Wow! Big baby!' He said they are going to induce me at 38 weeks. When they add up the measurements, they believe the baby now weights 5 lbs and 6 oz! The baby was practicing breathing and sucking on his wrist. What a day! I feel so informed. We looked at all the major organs and everything is great. I am on cloud nine!


MELISSAW. - Thursday, 20 Sep
Added 32 week photos!


Jamiekid - Thursday, 20 Sep
Just stopping by to see how things are going:)


MELISSAW. - Wednesday, 19 Sep
Same OL same OL here. Nothing too much new. I see the doctor tomorrow and I am 95% sure I am going on insulin because I have high morning blood sugar levels. But, good news... I am having my ultrasound! I can not wait to find out if I wasted money on newborn size clothing or if I should have just skipped to 3-6 Months. LOL! I will let you know how much the baby weighs tomorrow. Hee Hee. I have been sticking to my diet, I have a new appreciation for people with type II diabetes. I down right feel real sorry for them. Well, at least I am not the only one ready to kill the world. I am hoping the mood picks up. I knew this move would be so hard on you. But it sounds like you are almost done. Hang in there lady! :-)


MELISSAW. - Wednesday, 19 Sep
Hey , how are you? I have been a real crabby patty lately. The hormones are causing me to release my anger. I try to keep it away from my family but it is hard. Some people cry, I get mad at the world. Anyhow... how did the move go? Are you unpacking everything? Been thinkin about you.


3 awesome babies - Sunday, 16 Sep
he how have you being.


MELISSAW. - Thursday, 13 Sep
Okay, just got back from the doctors office. My blood numbers look good, but I may have to be put on insulin. The doctor wants to see me again in another week. I have lost a pound. :-) Good news: I get another ultrasound! The baby is measuring at 33 weeks, although he said it may be because the baby has not dropped yet. Interesting. I am starting to feel better now. I was riding an emotional rollercoaster. I cried for no reason on the highway home. So sad. Hope your day is going well.


MELISSAW. - Thursday, 13 Sep
Hey Lady, the site was slow for a bit this morning. Ugh. Thanks for the 'good lucks'. I need to relax. I am just making myself sick today. And it is good to hear that your appointment went well. I think I am going to stop at the Baby Gap on the way home. I have a $20.00 rewards certificate to use and maybe it will make me feel better. I have been nervous to buy too much because I fear I am going to give birth to a 12 pounder. When I was at the dietician, she pointed to the wall of baby pictures and said '12, 10, 11 pound babies'. I am nervous. Did the doctor say that it looks like yours will be big? I remember you saying that it was common in your family. If the baby is 12 pounds can we elect a c-section? I pushed out my first who was 8 lbs 7 ozs and a head the size of a melon..... and recovery from that was really hard and I lost a lot of blood. I can't imagine which is worse? I just found out that my sis-in-law is finally pregnant. She is 9 weeks now. I hope everything works out for her. She lost the last baby because of lack of hormones. How is your sister doing? Oh and that girlfriend of yours that is pregnant? Well, I am sure I will log on later. Kisses, Mel


lil one mom - Wednesday, 12 Sep
Okay thanks! I don't feel it until I lay down...I feel a lot of pressure while I'm standing and walking.


MELISSAW. - Wednesday, 12 Sep
Boss over the shoulder, not such a good thing? You must be busy moving. Sorry so crappy the other day. Just one of those kinds of days. I have lots on my mind and sometimes even the little things can throw me for a loop. Too too much on my mind :-( Dscanyi was wondering where you were also.


Kylene - Sunday, 9 Sep
Thanks for the response to my post.Good luck with the move dont over work yourself just remeber take it slow and no heavy lefting thats what we have men for lol oh ya and drink lots of fluids.


MELISSAW. - Sunday, 9 Sep
You should just go out! Have a great time. You have been working so hard! If only men got that nesting urge like woman.... could you imagine that amount of stuff that would get done? If only.....
