Aunt Sandy's Visit

WAaaaaahhhhh AAAAAaaaaaaaaahhhhggggggggghhhhhh !!!!! here maybee this bottle aunt Cathy & Uncle Jamey sent will shut him up! dad & mama sure enjoyed it!

Such a sweet boy .......all better; )

Like Father, like son. My babies so sweet

Aunt sandy is here yaaay! she talks to me, changes me, burpes me, feeds me, cuddles me, loves, me. we had a few fun days together, while mama rested and got some errands/projects done..... we think she overdid it cuz now she is moving slower that she was yesterday.

Aunt sandy is also talking to me about my job in life as a baby, to poop, eat and sleep. Then giving me the itinerary for the day. At the end of the day it was okay cus the first rule was I'm the baby so whatever I want I get.....pretty much!

Changes

We've experienced some "Changes" ...Mostly in Diapers, Sleep, Feeding Time, and, computer time.

Diapers: he went from 1 poopy in a 24 hour period to 4 in 2 hours. And yes the sound that could carry to the next room has definetly been a shock for new parents. The first real wattery blow up mike was leaving to pick up dinner and handed JC to me. Thanks! I was so blown away that I could see the color from the outside mike had to come back quick to take a look. I would have laughed harder but it still hurts to laugh.

Sleep: DEPRIVED - We are so exhausted by morning. In the evening we are relaxed. We love watching him sleep, the silly things he does with his lips and eyebrows.

Feeding Time: Every three hours.....Okay simple enough. But then he takes an hour to feed and burp that only leaves 2 hours to do whatever. aaarrrgh

Computer Time: Mike has been working from home and on the computer constantly. So my time to play is while he is sleeping.... ha haa!

Baby Boy

He is finally here. Born at 9:45pm

Weighs 7lb 7oz and 20in long.

Thank you all for your love and support.

We both are very excited for our new little bundle of joy.

Last Picture in Utero

Dr. Appt on Tuesday, Dr. was thinking 'lil dude' is a good 7lbs....somthin somthin oz. She is worried about 'lil dude's" size and my size were not a good combination for natural birthing. So to confirm her fears she sent me to get an ultra sound to measure and check other needed info. He had a normal size head, about 7lbs. 12 oz. Cutting it pretty close to the 8lb. mark. He could grow that fast if we wait till due date..........so............... After much discussing and contemplating we are going to hurry things along. We go in Thursday evening to get things rolling.

Today we spent the day getting the last minute things done and ready. Also enjoyed dim sum together, took a nap...laundry, cleaning up the yard before the rain comes again.

We'll see you on the other side.

Dr. Appt

As of Friday things are looking bigger and better!
Size~Dialated to 1cm...... 46cm belly size
Baby Size~Dr. thinks about 7 lbs.
Sleep~ Getting in and out of bed is hard, so Saturday we lowered the box spring and mattress so I could just rollout and fall into bed. SHould have done this months ago! Still waking up at around 2:30 and can't go back to sleep for a few hours. Frustrating!
Appetite~Hungry all the time.
Mood~ask Michael.
Nesting~I guess, just getting the fridge/freezer stocked, house cleaned, bags packed, projects done, things bought and washed.

Catching you up

Since the last post lots has happened.

Superbowl Weekend Mike went Riding. He was allowed to go only if he proimsed to take it easy and not come home with ANY injuries that would affect his performance in the delivery room or the weeks leading up the delivery. He came in wonderful spirits with fun stories to tell about his setup, and riding with the Williams. Glad he could enjoy himself.

Two days later he calls me to ask..."where's the Dr's office?" "WHTAT the.... "was going thru my mind.... Mike never goes to the Dr. so when he's asking....Im a thinkin...this is bad....this is real bad. But he was as calm as a cucumber! He had gotten pierced like a shish-K-bob with a piece of RAZOR WIRE! Said he put his finger in the hole to stop the bleeding! (sigh)

Four stitches later and one painful Tetnus Shot! eeeew! He was a tough patient. The tetnus hurt more than the actual injury.

BABY CLASSES! The more you try to know about being a parent the more you realize that you know less than when you started! Feeding, pooping, bathing, breastfeeding, crying, swaddling.......who knew!

Baby DAZE

Getting closer..... Reality is hittting us both a little more. Starting Baby classes, touring the hospital, learning how to take care of babies, and getting the last few essentials. Today I procured a breast pump with the help of Holly 2 states away! What an accomplishment, now Mike won't have to make one. Yes he offered to make one to save some money....he's good with his hands but he can keep his contraptions away from my breasts!
