Jeremiah is getting so big!
April 3rd, 2010 by mariahbuckMy baby just doesn’t seem like a baby anymore. Jeremiah is 8.5 months. He loves to be mobile. He has started to crawl, but has not yet perfected it. However, he has decided to give up crawling in an effort to start walking. He can now walk along the couch holding on to the edge and he can stand for a few second unassisted.
He also loves to eat. Jeremiah’s latest love is Cheerio’s. He is still a bit young for them, but I couldn’t resist his chubby, toothless grin. I tried it with just one and the rest is history. If it were up to him we would just forget the baby food and he would only ever eat Cheerios. In fact, it kind of ticks him off when I try to spoon feed him baby food. He just wants to do everything himself. Doesn’t he realize that mommy wants him to be little for a while longer??

Our Boy is 5 months old!!
December 24th, 2009 by mariahbuck
Wow does time fly! Jeremiah is doing great! He had NO TROUBLE gaining weight anymore. I am still nursing and Jeremiah is a chub! My sis in law jokes that I don’t make milk but buttermilk. :) God has been so gracious! He has chosen, in His wisdom, to heal Jeremiah completely of his breathing problems. We have not used an apnea monitor in quite some time. Just as the doctors can not explain what was causing his breathing problems, they can not explain why they went away. But we know. We serve a loving and gracious God!
Jeremiah can roll from his back to front, but not front to back yet. He is the happiest baby ever. He has never met a person he didn’t like. He loves to snuggle and sleep in mommy and daddy’s bed. (But we are trying to break him of that.) We have just recently introduced him to rice cereal. Boy does he like that! His big borthers love him so much! He is a really lucky boy! Brandon calls him “Chubba, Chubba, Choo, Choo” and Tyler calls him “Handsome Prince.”
We have begun to settle into life with three boys. It is wonderful. What a blessing to have three healthy, happy boys. God is so good!

Chubby Bubba
December 23rd, 2009 by mariahbuckEarlier this month I picked Jeremiah up from his crib after his nap. I had put him to bed with his pacifier but I couldn’t find it anywhere. After much searching, I realized that he had it lodged under his neck fat. I love my chubby little guy!

Happy Birthday Jeremiah Riley!
July 23rd, 2009 by MariahMy sweet, precious baby boy has finally arrived. What a week it has been. I can’t believe that tomorrow he will be one week old! I love him so much and he is so perfect! However, he had a bit of a hard entrance into this world.
About 1am on July 16th I began having contractions. They stayed consistent and seemed to get harder until I woke Shaun up at 3am. We went to the birth center. Shaun called Tasha on our way and she met us there. I was honored that she joined us for the birth of our son. I was 2 cm when we arrived. I will spare the “blow by blow” details. But suffice it to say, I made slow progress. The contractions continued to come about every 3-5 mins but still no baby.
I was exhausted and discouraged. The place that we chose for the birth of our son was across the street from the hospital and is called Mercy Family Birthing Center. There are 3 or 4 rooms, a living room and a mini kitchen. It is set up to feel like home. The rooms were very big and had a bed, large easy chair, and a birth tub. There was also a full bathroom. I made use of everything we could think of to progress labor. The birth ball, tub, shower, walking, laying down, etc. but little Jeremiah would not come. Since I had chosen a drug free labor, that made it eve more difficult.
However, I have the best most supportave husband in the world. He walked with me and rubbed my back, told me jokes and even sang to me to help ease the pain. I have never been more in love in my life. He is the man of my dreams and so much more! My sister-in-law Tasha was also there. She is also amazing. She happily jumped into her 12 passenger van at 3am, leaving her 6 babes at home; forgetting the fact that she was 12 weeks pregnant, to endure 21+ hours of labor with me. Never once complaining and having nothing but patience and love and empathy for me. I am so blessed!
When the time came and Jeremiah was ready to be born, I had been in the tub for quite some time. I wanted a water birth and I was determined that that would be the way my baby would enter this world. He did. However, his shoulders got stuck. My doctor acted quickly and helped me to deliver him, but it didn’t come without much bruising to my sweet baby. Despite the pain, fatigue and little blue, bruised baby; it was all worth it! He was beautiful and one of the most precious things I have ever seen.
I welcomed Jeremiah Riley Buck at 10:20 pm on July 16th 2009. He was 8.5 lbs and 20.5 inches of pure perfection. I can’t wait for everyone to meet him!
