New Addition

Just to let all of our fans out there know, who might not have heard yet, we will have a new addition to Flea and Company around mid March. If the doctor's guess is right it will be here on St. Patrick's day and no there will be no naming the addition after the saint. We should have more updates coming soon, including pictures. 

In other exciting news, Don got a job!!!!! He is working for a small pharmaceutical company in Cambridge. He is enjoying the train ride in every day and likes his new boss and the company. They work on RNAi which is nicely explained by PBS "Nova: Science Now" if you follow this link:  http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/3210/02.html . The company's website also has some information on RNAi at  http://www.alnylam.com/science-technology/index.asp .

We meant to get this important information on the website a few weeks ago but with Don's new job and me and Jackie doing the stay home mom- daughter thing (really I couldn't figure out Don's new blog thing until now) we didn't get it up until now. We do have the new edition of Lightroom so as soon as Don gets a little spare time he will get a photo post up as well.

Finally!

Finally, we've posted new photos! The new ones are listed as "More Jackie Photos" in the Baby Photos section. Sorry it's taken so long, things have been busy! We actually have more to post, so I'll try to get to that later in the week. Until then, take care!

Tummy Time!

Jacqueline has been having tummy time lately and she continues to show us how smart she is. She is an amazing floor climber and is working on making her legs even stronger. She has learned to turn her body in a circle like the hands of a clock; her head stays fairly stationary while her feet and legs do all the turning. She can also lift her head 45 degrees and turn it from side to side. She is just amazing! And if she learns to lift her upper body with her arms then she will be crawling in no time; she has the leg part all worked out! We'll keep you updated about all of Jackie's wonderful feats.

There and back again

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the lack of update in 15 days, things have been busy. The long and short of it is that Jackie had to be hospitalized twice, first because she had lost 11% of her birth weight by 7 days (a little more than usual), and then because she wasn't regaining her weight well. Things look ok now, but the doctors will still follow her closely. Anyway, I'll post more photos later this week. We've just gotten home from the hospital, so there's a lot to do around the apartment!

Welcome home Jacqueline Frances!

Hello everyone,

Jacqueline Frances was born on Wednesday, August 1st at 5:15 PM. She weighed 7 pounds 1.2 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. I'll write more at a later time, but for now, you can check out some of the photos we've taken. The new photos are on the "Baby Photos" page under "Photo Gallery".

Take care!

Don
