A Grell Tale

We are so glad you have taken time to check in on our lives. First and foremost, God is the author of this story. Every thing we do, say, and have is His.
Jared and I have been together since 1998, and married since 2003. After four long years of trusting God, he blessed us on August 1, 2009. Balen James is the most "perfect-for-us" little man in the world! We LOVE being parents and just can't get enough of him.
I love to spend time sharing our story with you, and I truly enjoy getting to hear your comments as well! We hope you enjoy watching our family grow. Thanks for stopping by.

Week 1 with our little monkey

A week has already flown by. Balen is the most perfect little baby. I am so glad because there is no way I could have been able to be up and around with a fussy baby. He has been sleeping about 4 hours at a time each night since day one. Feeding has been a challenge for me since I really can't move much. We have had to supplement at times but he is getting better every day.
I am improving a little each day. I will spare you the details but I had a minor (I'm lying!!) set back starting Wednesday night and am still trying to recover. Let's just put it this way-enemas+major episiotomy= WORSE than childbirth!! Eeew gross, did I just share that with the world! :)
Here are a few pictures from the week. Enjoy!
Big boy!
Our little ET!
Balen had a little battle with jaundice. Here he is in his bili blanket. He is already doing much better.
