It felt like such a treat to get to meet her so early, since Wes was born at 41 weeks 1 day. On Wednesday morning (March 12) we went to the hospital at 6 am. I think it was perfect timing because Wes was still asleep so I didn't have to get all emotional over telling him bye. I was a little teary eyed the night before as I put him to bed, but honestly I was amazed that I wasn't more emotional. I was just so ready to meet Addie and have her here with us. <br />
So, we got to the hospital at 6 am (ok, we were like 10 minutes late..) They took us right to our room and I remember not really feeling anxious. Since I just did all of this 18 months ago I think that really calmed my nerves. They got everything started and around 7:30 am my doctor came by and started the pitocin and asked if she could break my water. I said ok,(she also mentioned as she was doing this that Addie had a lot of hair! we were surprised) so she did and said she would be back around noon to check on me. She assumed Addie would be born sometime after 1 pm. My mom was flying in that morning so Kathy picked her up and they came to the hospital around 11 am. My labor was progressing steadily for awhile, my doctor checked me at 12:30 pm and I was 6 cm and 80% effaced. She decided to up the pitocin ( I had my epidural around 12 pm so I was fine with this!) In fact, before my epidural I kept telling Drew (and he agreed) it was crazy how different this labor was than my labor with Wes. I mean, I was ready for the epidural when I got it but I had really only been having painful contractions for around 2 hours. With Wes, I had been in pain for about 7 hours! So this was a breeze. haha :) Anyways, I told my doctor I was feeling some pressure when I had a contraction and she said sometimes that happened with epidurals and it would help me to feel when it was time to push. I did not feel ANY pressure or pain after my epidural with Wes so this was very different. Around 2:00 pm I remember the pressure REALLY increased during each contraction, so much so that I was not able to carry on a conversation and really having to focus to breath through it. After an hour of doing this I noticed that the pressure was constant, not going like it had before after a contraction. I told Drew I think the nurse needs to check me. This was at 3:00, she checked me and looked at me with kind of a shocked face. She said "yeah you are at 10 cm and 100% effaced, do NOT push." She quickly called my doctor to come over (her office is across the street). My nurse's name was Stephanie, she kept telling me to not push and wanted to leave my legs flat. (She knew that I only pushed for 10 minutes with Wes and was worried Addie might arrive before my doctor did.) Drew went to the restroom really quick (it was in the room) and when he came out he said he started to panic because he realized how quickly it was all happening. (For the 2 minutes he was in the restroom several people had came into the room, my doctor, delivery nurses, nursery nurse, etc.) They quickly prepared the bed for delivery and my doctor asked if I was ready to push. Ready was a MAJOR understatement. The pressure was so intense and I was determined to meet Addie ASAP. I pushed for 10-15 minutes and then we meet Addie Grace. Dr. Leah was correct, Addie had a head FULL of dark brown hair. Wes' hair was the same color when he was born but he had just a bit of peach fuzz. My doctor immediately laid Addie on my chest and she cried the sweetest little cries. After a few minutes I tried to feed her and she immediately latched on. The nurses were all laughing because Addie Grace was HUNGRY. After 5-6 minutes I pulled her off and they weighed her and got her measurements. Then when they brought her back to me she immediately began eating again. I had to get her to stop so her daddy could hold her. haha :) They gave her her bath in our room and she cried some but overall I already noticed how content she seemed. <br />
We stayed in the hospital for 2 nights. We waited until Thursday Morning to have Wes come meet Addie because I knew all the IV cords and things might freak him out (by Thursday morning I had all of that taken off). When Wes came to meet Addie I was pretty emotional. The minute he walked in the door I started crying and he immediately climbed up in bed with me (drew was holding Addie). When we showed Wes his baby sister he kind of stared at her for a minute.. then he tried to take her paci. haha! So we quickly gave him his. He opened his big brother gift and played around the room and didn't show much interest in her so we didn't push it. Addie slept really well both nights in the hospital. The first night she seemed a little less content as she kept spitting up amniotic fluid, this is common for babies who have quick delieveries. She did NOT like getting her diaper changed and having the cold wipes put on her, but other then that she was pretty chill.<br />
On Friday (March 14) around noon Drew and I brought Addie home. Wes and Grammy (and Lucy) were waiting here for us. Wes wasn't a fan of Addie being with us and had a rough day.. basically he was fine as long as momma was not holding her. So I would just sneak off to our bedroom when she needed to eat. However, when he woke up Saturday morning he kept showing a lot of interest in her and I even nursed her in front of him and he was fine! Ever since he has done really well, he is learning how to be "Easy" when he wants to touch her and he really likes to bring her toys. I am so impressed with him so far and have NO doubt it is because of so many people praying for my sweet guy. Addie is a sleeping beauty. I have to wake her up to eat (day and night) and she immediately falls back to sleep after she eats. Wes was such an alert newborn this is SO different. She rarely cries unless she is cold because she is getting changed. She is such a sweet content girl. <br />
<br />
Addie Grace,<br />
We are so thankful we finally can hold you in our arms. Blesssed is an understatement. We are so thankful to God for our two precious, healthy babies. I am just amazed that I am a momma of two. My heart just grew the minute you were born and I love you more than words. I want to savor every little moment because I know it is all going to go by way too fast. You are making the savoring super easy because you are such a sweet, content little girl. We love you more than words and can't wait to watch you change and grow.<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Momma and Dada<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">You love Grammy and watching shows on her computer!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Wes Patrick,<br />
I cannot believe you are a year and a half old. It amazes me all the time when I am watching you from across the room and see how big you are. You are a full blown toddler and although it does make me kind of sad we really are enjoying this stage and watching you learn new things each day. It can be hard, as you often can't express to us what you want and you get frustrated. I remind myself in those moments that "this too shall pass" and I KNOW one day I will be wishing these days back. We are praying for you as you make the transition to big brother. We know that you have no clue how much your world is about to change.. but we also know someday you will love having a sister to play with! We love you more than words buddy. We are so so thankful God trusted us to care for you and love you just the way He made you! You are precious in His sight sweet boy. We pray you always know that to be true.<br />
Love,<br />

Honestly, I am just glad I have found time to at least do a few. It appears the last one done was Week 21. whoa. Here we are.. 3 days away from "full-term" status. Today is March 1, and I woke up so excited that it is my baby girl's Birth Month (that her Daddy gets to share with her!) <br />
<br />
Symptoms:<br />
-Well, considering I basically have a beach ball for a belly.. my back is quite achy most of the time.. especially in the evenings.<br />
-With Wes, I honestly slept GREAT.. even at 41 weeks pregnant! With Addie.. sleep is ok. I wake up to pee approximately 5 times a night.. and I know that most of this is because every time I wake up I drink a ton of water.. but I can't help it! One interesting thing with this pregnancy is how stiff my body gets at night. When I wake up to pee each time I am so sore and stiff. Thankfully, it's gone in the morning though!<br />
-Addie is sitting much lower than Wes. When I sit down my belly rests on my thighs... and this never happened with him! In fact.. I even have a lovely heat rash on the underside of my belly from it resting on my thighs.<br />
-I am feeling some relief on my lungs but still get out of breath a lot.. it might have something to do with chasing a toddler.<br />
-Restless Leg Syndrome: Has been horrible at night. My doctor told me to take calcium and magnesium which I have been doing daily and it is helping tremendously!<br />
-Exhaustion: At the end of the day I am so tired, once again.. probably has something to do with chasing a toddler! :)<br />
<br />
Cravings:<br />
-crushed ice. I am an addict. I could eat it all.day.long.<br />
-mint chocolate chip ice cream (I have never liked this flavor.. so strange!)<br />
-pineapple<br />
-sweets, I have always had a sweet tooth.. but Addie has taken it to a new level!<br />
<br />
Best Moment:<br />
Last Saturday I had a shower here in Houston and it was so much fun getting to celebrate with friends and family. I loved getting all the precious outfits and bows.. I still cannot believe I am going to have a daughter!<br />
<br />
Looking Forward to:<br />DUH! Addie's Arrival!! My official due date is March 17, But Addie has measured 4 days early on every sonogram I have had. That still doesn't change my due date but since it is my second my doctor will induce me the day I turn 39 weeks if I want. (Obviously I could not make it to that point but I feel like I probably will!) So, the plan is right now to induce during my 39th week if she hasn't arrived on her own. Probably on March 12 or 13. I am starting to progress, but very slowly! I am still hopeful she might come on her own since she is low, time will tell!<br />
<br />
Addie Grace,<br />
Your Daddy and I cannot wait to meet you. Your brother is clueless that you are arriving soon but I know you will grow on him quickly. We are praying for you and your entrance into this world. We are so anxious to meet you and see what you look like, what your personality is like.. just to know you. I am savoring these last days of having you with me constantly. You are so loved already, and we cannot wait to hold you in our arms! <br />

Wes Patrick,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You are all toddler these days. It is amazing to watch you watch us do something and then immediately try to do it yourself. You are quite shy-- we are not sure where you got that. And you are pretty sensitive. You love to be outside and explore new places and things, but like to know that momma and daddy are close by. You will go places alone that you are familiar with (you no longer cry when being dropped off at the nursery for church). We are really having to start telling you "no" and it is quite obvious that you often still do it anyways. It can be tough and tiring sometimes when you continue to test our limits. It is hard sometimes to see you so upset but at the same time I know that it is just part of learning. You are learning new things everyday! We love you so much and it is so hard to imagine that soon you will have a baby sister. We are super excited to meet Addie but are also soaking up our days of just putting all of our time and energy into you. We love you so so much sweet boy, more than we every new was even impossible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Love,</div>

GIRL!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We found out on Monday that we are having a girl. It was so much fun to find out by opening the box of pink balloons. I really had felt like it was a girl since my pregnancy symptoms have been so different than they were with Wes. But, at the same time I just couldn't really imagine seeing a box of pink balloons and getting to buy bows, leggings, bloomers. :) We went to the sonogram and saw Addie first (but didn't know that she was in fact a she) it's so fun watching that sweet baby move all around. At one point when we got a good profile shot drew and I both looked at each other and said "she has Wes' nose!" Obviously it's hard to tell but it really looks like his sweet little nose. I love it! The sonogram tech was so sweet and funny, she turned off the wall monitor when she went to see the gender to make sure we couldn't peek :) we are so excited and feel so blessed! We can hardly wait for March to be here and to see Addie Grace Pennywell. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizppTQwafZg3Na411_jo4ojTceyrWAAmAYYfTyZb9y-CFdaOoim1Dld77S5nhKVAi5quUeTAt6okXfVCGUjMRZdI6l2LWThQlwjtekENvR2-ugdhzu48wOecCts5FIippzBCW_AKieQAn6/s640/blogger-image--1358375887.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizppTQwafZg3Na411_jo4ojTceyrWAAmAYYfTyZb9y-CFdaOoim1Dld77S5nhKVAi5quUeTAt6okXfVCGUjMRZdI6l2LWThQlwjtekENvR2-ugdhzu48wOecCts5FIippzBCW_AKieQAn6/s640/blogger-image--1358375887.jpg"></a></div>The Pennywellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08727155539422276462noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886821103263430143.post-37680553709559286382013-10-02T12:22:00.002-07:002013-10-02T12:22:51.042-07:00Bump Update- Weeks 13-16October 2, 2013<br />
16 weeks 3 days<br />
<br />
<br />
Symptoms:<br />
<br />
<u>nausea/ morning sickness</u>: This is pretty much gone but this pregnancy has made me GAG all the time. I thought that would go away after the first trimester but no.. I am still gaging when I smell something bad, brush my teeth, etc. It is super weird because I NEVER did this before I was pregnant. And I didn't do it with my first pregnancy. I am hoping it passes after this baby is born. <br />
<u>tired</u>: Well, I was really starting to get my energy back in Weeks 14 & 15.. then last Friday I caught a horrible stomach bug .. I ended up in the ER saturday night because I was dehydrated. This really wore me out and I am feeling pretty sleepy again. Hopefully I get my energy back soon.<br />
<u>hungry </u>: Well, obviously the stomach virus took away my appetite but it is (Slowly) Returning. I am still a little cautious about what I eat and upsetting my stomach. <br />
<u>emotional:</u> Oh goodness... I cry at the drop of a hat. Not like sobbing, just little tears streaming down my face. It is quite ridiculous. haha :)<br />
<br />
Cravings:<br />
Not so many cravings (especially not "fun" ones) Since I had a tummy bug. But,<br />
Crushed Ice (I could eat sonic ice ALL DAY LONG)<br />
Gatorade (Glacier Freeze, its light blue, and delicious)<br />
Yesterday I craved Green Bean Casserole.. so we had that with our dinner :) <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Best Moment:<br />
Really feeling those little baby flutters this week (Week 16) From what I can remember, this baby moves a lot more than Wes did! Mostly I feel it at night when I lay down. It is just the coolest feeling.<br />
Hearing that sweet heartbeat at the ER. I knew that my tummy bug shouldn't affect baby but I was feeling so terrible (and rather emotional) and I just lost it when the nurse (finally) found that heart beat with the doppler. There really is no sweeter sound.<br />
<br />
Looking Forward to:<br />
13 days people, 13. Pink or Blue? I can hardly stand it.<br />
Our sonogram is at 1:30, afterwards I will take the envelope to Drew's cousin, Nicole. She will go get a box filled with pink or blue balloons. Then, we will meet her for pictures (She is a photographer), this is when we will find out if Wes is getting a baby brother or a baby sister. I get tears in my eyes just thinking about it.<br />
Yeah, I will need some MAJOR waterproof mascara for that day. <br />
Either way, this pregnancy is going by fast and I am super excited to meet Wes' sibling. I keep wondering if they will look alike, if I will have another baby with that sweet, light blonde hair.. or maybe a red head.. only time will tell!<br />

It is fun to look back at my posts about my last pregnancy and compare/contrast things.<br />
Pregnancy Information:<br />
<br />
September 9, 2013<br />
13 Weeks <br />
Today officially marks the beginning of the 2nd trimester (WOOHOO!) I am so relieved that the beginning is over. I am going to write about my first trimester today.<br />
<br />
Symptoms: <br />
This pregnancy has been SO different from my pregnancy with Wes. I found out I was pregnant when I was almost 6 weeks. My only real reason I thought "I might be pregnant" was because I was exhausted and taking naps everyday. I decided to test just in case and those 2 blue lines showed up IMMEDIATELY. I told Drew and we both felt: happy, surprised, shocked, excited.<br />
haha :) I really couldn't believe I was pregnant, it was harder to believe than when I got pregnant with Wes because we weren't trying and I wasn't expecting it.<br />
<u>nausea/ morning sickness</u>: Around week 8 I really started feeling <strike>morning</strike> sickness.. all. day. long. I started gagging all the time to smells and just not feeling good. Thankfully, I never really would throw up I would just feel pretty crummy all day long. This finally started getting a little better around week 10, and is almost non-existent now (week 12)<br />
<u>tired</u>: I have also been SUPER tired, and have been taking full advantage of Wes' naptime! I have started to get my energy back the past week and am really excited about that! As much as I have enjoyed napping at naptime it will be nice to be able to get things done.<br />
<u>hungry </u>: I noticed my appetite increasing around week 9 and have really made myself eat snacks even when it does NOT sound appetizing. I find that usually I will start to feel better a bit after eating (a small snack) even if I don't feel like it. I also have found if I didn't get too full at meals it helped me not feel as nauseous.<br />
<u>emotional:</u> A symptom I really didn't experience with Wes.. this has been a new ballgame! I cry so easily! One night I was crying and laughing at the same time and Drew asked me "Are you crying or are you laughing?" and I said "I don't even know!" haha. At least I can recognize that I am being overly emotional and usually calm myself down.<br />
<br />
Cravings:<br />
Something about pregnancy.. makes food taste SO good. haha :) Some of these have been the same as with Wes!<br />
Chick Fil A chicken sandwich (With extra pickles.. like 20)<br />
Ice water with Lemon (crushed ice)<br />
cheeseburgers<br />
cantalope<br />
bananas with peanut butter<br />
garlic bread<br />
pickles<br />
<br />
<br />
Best Moment:<br />
Well, out of the whole first trimester I would say the best moment was seeing baby (again) last week. I actually have already had 3 sonograms. I went to my old OB the day after I found out I was pregnant and she did a sonogram (I was almost 6 weeks) we saw baby and the heartbeat but it was slow (she was not concerned since it was so early) Then at 9.5 weeks I saw my new OB (My old OB is sadly not delivering right now, she has little kids and wants to be at home more). She recommended my new OB and they are very similar so I am glad I like her too :) I still miss Dr. Blackwell though! Anyways, my new OB, Dr. Leah, did a sonogram and we saw baby at 9.5 weeks. Then, at 11 weeks I went back to my new OB and saw a tech who preformed a end of first trimester ultrasound. This one was much more detailed and I LOVED watching that sweet baby move all around. She said our baby is REALLY into sucking their thumb :) It was so cute it just kept putting that thumb in it's mouth.<br />
<br />
Another great moment.. over the past weekend I started feeling those little flutters. I was unsure at first but now know for sure that is what it is. It feels so awesome and I am just so grateful to the Lord for this sweet little baby.<br />
<br />
Looking Forward to:<br />
In about a month we will find out if baby is a BOY or a GIRL! Woohoo.. I am so so ready to know!<br />

I just started offering a sippy cup before your nap and you seemed a little confused but took it fine. The next night I started doing it at bedtime too. You are drinking whole milk and you took the switch just fine! I am trying to offer the milk to you with meals too because you don't drink much before your nap or bedtime, usually 3 ounces or so. But you are really into eating your snacks. I give you a morning snack and an afternoon snack in between meals and you love snack time!</span></span><br />

Wes Patrick,<br />
Well Buddy, we survived the first year. In ways it seems so much longer then that and in other ways so much shorter. It is so hard to imagine life before you in ways. You have brought so many smiles to mine and your daddy's face in the past year! It is crazy to think about how much you have changed this year too. We are looking forward to watching you learn even more new things and and are so thankful you are a happy healthy toddler! We love you Wes Patrick.<br />
Love,<br />

Your schedule is pretty much the same as last month. You can be awake
anywhere from 3.5-4 hours and then you are ready to nap. You sleep anywhere from an hour and 15 minutes- 2 hours. You can skip your morning nap and just take a long afternoon one IF we are really busy, you can make it until about 12:30 and then you will sleep until 2:30 or 3. Most days I still give you 2 naps because you are much more content.</span></span><span style="color: #660000;"> You go to bed about 8pm and have
been putting yourself to sleep without crying (YAY) HOWEVER... you are
still waking up around 4ish.. so I am trying to wean you of that feeding
and get you to not wake up. You go back to sleep until around 7 or
7:30.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Eating: You take 2 bottles (6 oz), one before each nap, and one before bedtime (8 oz)</span>. I have started offering you whole milk in a sippy cup occasionallly to start to get you used to it. You like it ok but you are much more inclined to want a bottle. You also eat 2 snacks, one around 9:30 am and one around 4:30 pm. You are really into fruit (grapes, watermelon, oranges) you want to eat it all the time, you also really like black beans.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Next month you will be ONE. That is crazy. One year ago we were anticipating your arrival and wondering what our new lives would be like. Looking back a LOT has changed.. but we would not have it any other way. You are a silly boy that also is a bit cautious and really loves to know that his mommy is close by. You get so excited every night when Daddy gets home from work. I am not sure who gets a bigger grin- you or him. You are on the go and constantly want to be entertained. You are really good at entertaining yourself though and playing with your toys. You love watching tv and eating snacks... so yes, you are all boy! haha :) We love you so much and this month has been so fun, we are so excited to celebrate you turning one soon. </span></div>

Your schedule is pretty much the same as last month. You can be awake
anywhere from 3.5-4 hours and then you are ready to nap. You sleep anywhere from 45 minutes- 2 hours.. it totally depends on how worn out you are I suppose.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> We had some ROUGH sleep for about 2 weeks this month. The past week has been pretty much back to normal (PRAISE JESUS!). You seem to sleep bad every time you have a big developmental leap.. so as soon as you started pulling up all the time I knew it was coming. You figured out how to pull up in your crib and it started... you would wake up 2 or sometimes 3 (yikes..) times a night and just scream. At first, you couldn't really get back down and would fall and bump your head.. so I would go lay you down. Then you started getting those 2 top teeth, so that made for bad sleep too. It was rough. I (of course) wanted to comfort you if you were in pain, but I didn't want to start a bad habit either. I just went with my mommy instinct and rocked you most nights.</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">As soon as the teeth poked through we went back to some sleep training (NO FUN!) But.. to my amazement after a few nights you gave up and started sleeping well again. You still SCREAM right when I lay you down and I leave the room (which breaks my heart) but you get over it pretty fast. We have also noticed you don't get as upset if it is Daddy leaving you.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Eating: You take 3 to 4 bottles a day. Sometimes one when you wake up (if you didn't wake up at night) then one before nap #1, one before nap #2 and one at bedtime. Occasionally you wake up around 4 or 5 am and have a bottle and THANKFULLY go back to sleep!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">You eat 3 meals a day and usually you eat whatever we are eating. You really are not picky and I think you enjoy eating the same things as us. I am trying to be better about giving you snacks. One mid morning and one after your afternoon nap. I started giving you more snack foods: crackers, goldfish, cereal, yogurt bites. So far I think goldfish are your favorite. You also started drinking those pouch things of applesauce, which are nice if we are on the go. You love when it is time for a bottle so I am NOT looking forward to giving that up. I am going to try to start transitioning you to a sippy cup around 11 months, so the countdown is starting.. and mommy is scared. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-size: small;">This month you have learned so many new things.. seeing you pull up and stand has really made you seem not so much like a baby anymore. Very soon you will be walking and then you really will seem like a BIG boy. You are still very independent and like to do things your self. However, you have started to like to snuggle right when you wake up from a nap. If I get you up from a nap and immediately set you down you start crying BIG tears. Then I pick you up and hold you and you snuggle, and it melts my heart. You also will crawl over to us and pull up on our leg for us to hold you when you are tired or hurt yourself. It warms my heart to see you wanting love from us. You still only say "dada" ALL the time but I know "mama" is coming soon and I can't wait to hear that buddy! This month has been so fun, and I know we are in store for more fun as your first birthday is quickly approaching. I get a little sad when I think about you turning one.. but then again it is exciting to think of all the new things you are going to learn and we can't wait to watch you learn them Wes. It has also been a hard month when you were not sleeping well and we had to let you do some crying. It breaks momma's heart to hear you cry buddy, but deep down I know I am doing what is best for you. It has been a beautiful reminder of how our Heavenly Father often feels about us I am sure. He hates to watch us stumble but in the end knows we have to figure it out ourselves. I can't protect you from everything and that is hard, but deep down I know He loves you WAY more than we do! You are our pride and joy and it is impossible to imagine life without you. We love you Wes Patrick!</span></span></div>

Well, you officially stopped nursing at the end of 8 months. I tried everything and it was very obvious you wanted NOTHING to do with it.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> So, I spent a month exclusively pumping. I would try and pump 3 times a day but I was not getting much milk at all. I tried fenugreek and eating more calories.. but still the most I would get in a pump session was 5 ounces. And that was after pumping for 45 minutes. So we were supplementing with a lot of formula. I couldn't decide what I wanted to do and kept changing my mind every day. Last week I decided to stop pumping and just give you formula. It was not my original plan but pumping and chasing you around was a huge challenge.. and you would cry and cry because you wanted me to hold you. I know you had breastmilk for almost 9 months and I am so glad you did, and I know formula isn't "bad" but sometimes it's hard not to feel that way. You LOVE your bottles though and are so happy and really gaining weight. Literally, when I start making you a bottle and I shake it up you SQUEAL out of excitement. So, I think in your situation it's what you needed at this point. Hopefully someday your sibling will love nursing the whole 12 months. You are just way too much of a busy boy! So, you drink 4 bottles a day that range from 5-6 ounces. Then your bedtime bottle is 8 ounces. If we do a night feeding you drink a 6 ounces bottle. You eat 3 meals a day and usually 2 snacks. You eat basically whatever we are eating and your current favorites are: avocado, bananas, cheese, chicken nuggets, grilled cheese, peas, sweet potatoes.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">It is hard to believe that you have been here with us for just about the time that you were in mommy's tummy. You are mobile now and exploring everything. It is so cute to watch you when we are in a new place, you love to check everything out. If we are at a friends house and they have toys you can sit and entertain yourself for a long time with all the new things. You are a very happy little boy and people always ask mommy "is he ever not smiling?" I just laugh.. there are moments when you are not happy and you are VERY quick to let me know! You don't really enjoy riding in the car too much and you basically always just want to be on the MOVE! You are "all boy" as they say. Your daddy and I love playing with you and watching you figure new things out. We are quickly approaching your first birthday and in a way its so strange that you haven't even been a part of our family for a year. It is hard to think back to before you were here! Your daddy and I are excited to watch you figure even more out and love that you are ours sweet boy. We love you!</span></div>

You are finally on a set schedule and I LOVE knowing exactly what times things need to happen:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">7:00 am, wake up.. you sometimes stay in your crib until 7:30 or so when you really start moving around</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">7:30: Breakfast.. usually banana and cheerios and a plain blueberry waffle. You used to LOVE yogurt but currently are not interested in anything I am feeding you.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">8:00-10:00: PLAY! (we usually go for a long morning jog/walk from 8:30-9:15)</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">10:00-10:30: get ready for nap.. I either give you a bottle or nurse you (depending on your mood) and we read a few books.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">10:30: I lay you down and within a few minutes (usually) you are sound asleep</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">You sleep usually until 12. sometimes 11:45 or so, and sometimes 12:30. Depends on how tired you were!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">12:30: Lunch (this varies a lot.. Lately, a grilled cheese or chicken nuggets and peas/green beans/sweet potatoes. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">1:00-3:00: This is when we run errands if I need to get out, or if we have lunch plans I usually make them for 12:15. We always try to get back home before 3:15.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">3:15- get ready for nap, bottle or nurse and read books</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">3:30- Nap #2. Depending on how tired you are.. sometimes you sleep an hour and sometimes closer to 1.5 hours. I try to get you up by 5:15 so you will be tired for bedtime. We play until dinnertime when you wake up.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">5:45: Daddy gets home, get ready for dinner.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">6:00: Dinner. you usually eat what we are having or something similar to your lunch.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">6:30-7:30: Play with Daddy.. and sometimes you take a 4 oz bottle during this time if you want it.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">7:30:Bath time (you love to spend lots of time playing!)</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">8:00: Bedtime. Daddy or I put you to bed. I have learned you need a bottle to go to bed because if you nurse you just fall asleep too quickly. You only drink a 4 to 5 oz bottle.. you never drink more than that no matter how hard we try.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">*You wake up around 4 or 5 am and I nurse you for around 15 minutes and lay you back down. Sometimes you take a while to go back to sleep but (THANKFULLY!) You are content and quiet until you wake up at 7 am.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Whew. that was a lot to type but I am sure I will be glad to have it to look back on when you have a sibling.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Eating: You are eating a lot more at mealtimes and not wanting as much milk. I know that "Food is fun until they are one" but it is hard to get you to drink more than 4-5oz in one sitting.. so I am just doing the best I can but you LOVE real food so much. So, you eat 3 solid meals a day and you take 3-4 bottles or times to nurse during the day. You are not into nursing and most of the time I have to pump. I also give you formula if I am going to be gone and someone is keeping you. It has been SO MUCH less stressful on me than worrying about having breast milk for you. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span><br />

Wes Patrick,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Wow.. yes I am going to say it again.. this month has flown by. You are now mobile and your daddy and I love watching to see what you are motivated to crawl toward. You are very interested in things but also a little cautious. You like to be in whatever room we are in and don't usually crawl to an empty room. You are starting to talk more and we love to listen to you try to make new sounds. The other day I was whispering to you and you started smiling and whispering back.. it was so sweet. Your smile buddy.. daddy and I love that smile so much. We spend our days making you laugh and we are so sad when we can tell you are not feeling well. You are a busy little boy and I know that is only going to progress at this point. Sometimes, I have to remind myself that God gave you ALL that energy and he doesn't make mistakes! haha :) For the most part you are not into cuddling but when you get sleepy you sit in the chair with me and we read books and I love those moments. Sometimes you will grab tight to my neck when I am carrying you and I love those moments too. Your daddy loves that feeling and is so ready for you to hang tight and give him a BIG hug. We love being your mommy and daddy and we love getting to see you learn new things, and see the world through your curious, eager eyes. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Love,</div>

*You are so much better at picking up food this month! You love to feed yourself and its amazing how quickly your hand-eye coordination has developed.<br />
*You constantly roll to your belly during diaper changes and getting dressed.. it is very hard to do either.<br />
*You are babbling more but still make the same noises, no ma-ma or da-da yet...<br />
*You occasionally push up on to your knees when you are on your belly-- still no crawling!<br />
*If your back legs are against something you will push off to move towards whatever you want.<br />
*You have TWO teeth!! Both of your bottom ones, they came in about the same time- the left bottom started coming in on March 27 and the right bottom poked through on March 30.<br />
Sleep:<br />
You take 2 naps most days. One good nap (1.5 to 2 hours) and one short nap (45ish minutes) your short nap is usually first and your long nap in the afternoon. Every now and then both naps are short.. so on those days you take a 3rd short nap. You FINALLY put yourself to sleep for naps without making any fussing or crying sounds (WOOHOO!!!) it has made ALL the hard work pay off and I am so glad I don't have to hear you cry anymore. It was tough...but totally worth it! You sleep from 8:00 pm to 7:00 or 7:30 am and usually wake up to eat sometime between 2 and 4 am. **You are waking more in the night and crying, I am letting you cry it out because you just want me to hold you. I have read that separation anxiety can start now so I think this might be what it is. oh joy :(<br />
<br />
Eating: You eat every 3.5 to 4 hours. You are SUCH a busy boy and want nothing to do with nursing unless you are a)very hungry b)tired. So, I usually nurse you BEFORE a nap rather than after. You are so silly.. if Lucy is in the room you will turn to "talk" to her rather than eat. It is basically a big chore to get you to eat but I am still trying to make it work. You eat solids for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I am starting to give you little tiny pieces of food rather than purees. YOU want to do it yourself. You will even grab the spoon if it is pureed food and try to do it and make quite a mess!<br />

Wes Patrick,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
7 months. (Yes I am going to say it.. AGAIN) time flies buddy! You are learning new things everyday and changing so quickly. I know any day you are going to figure this crawling thing out and be mobile... and mommy's job is going to get a lot harder! That is ok.. I am so excited for you to be able to get places on your own and "explore." God made your personality so curious and it is so fun to watch you try to figure something out. God also made you a little "persistent" as I like to say. Daddy and I see that you already have your mind decided on things and will grunt to try to get your way. So discipline will be interesting ;) We love you so much and are excited to see what the next month holds Wes. This month was special celebrating our first Easter with you. It makes it even more meaningful knowing what God did for us, when we think of you and how we would do anything for you. So thankful for a God who gave His son for our lives, and for yours. We love you buddy boy.</div>

We are so blessed to have Nicole and she is such a great photographer. We had a lot of fun and were able to get lots of cute pictures in about 45 minutes. After that Wes was ready to be done and take a nap! I love all of them so much.

I must do a update because today has been a GREAT day for us, Wes! Last week I was devastated after your 6 month well visit. I couldn't believe you had only gained 4 ounces in 2 months and I couldn't make sense of it. Well, once I calmed down and really started thinking about everything it just wasn't making sense.. your clothes fit tighter, and a lot you have outgrown-since 4 months. You wear a bigger diaper size now. And you just seem heavier! Your pediatrician had talked to me about supplementing with formula.. not something I was planning on doing!! I will supplement if you need it, but I also know that you love bottles so you will probably lose interest in breastfeeding very quickly if you are getting a bottle. So, I got our scale back from a family friend and started weighing you again. I was getting that you weighed 15 pounds 12 ounces. That is a BIG difference and I was worried my scale was just inaccurate. <br />
So, today we went in for a weight check and your mommy was right buddy! You weighed 15 pounds 10 ounces at your check-up. That makes you the 14th percentile which is WAY better than the 4th percentile. The nurse and doctor were so apologetic and could not believe that this all happened. A part of me wanted to be VERY mad but then again... mistakes happen. The good news is that you ARE growing and breastfeeding is still all you need. It was a good reality check for me as a mom to know that things won't always go my way. I have always just assumed I would breastfeed you for the first year. And, I still plan on that. But.. it might not always happen the way I "plan". So .. for today I will be happy that things are working and I will trust that God has it all worked out for the future. I love you sweet boy.<br />

One good nap (1.5 to 2 hours) and one short nap (45ish minutes) your short nap is usually first and your long nap in the afternoon. Every now and then both naps are short.. so on those days you take a 3rd short nap. You FINALLY put yourself to sleep for naps without making any fussing or crying sounds (WOOHOO!!!) it has made ALL the hard work pay off and I am so glad I don't have to hear you cry anymore. It was tough...but totally worth it! You sleep from 7:30 pm to 7:00 am and usually wake up to eat sometime between 2 and 4 am.</span></span></span></span><br />

We had a BIG scare for mommy at your 6 month check up when we found out you really have not gained weight in 2 months.. it seems like you have but you have not. Your doctor talked to me about supplementing with formula. We may start doing that if we need to. I realized that you have started nursing for usually just 10 minutes..I thought you were just getting more efficient but turns out.. you were eating WAY less. You get really distracted when you eat so now we are really focusing on getting you to eat for at least 20 minutes. We have been doing this for 5 days and I can already tell it is making a difference!! Apparently, you are such a busy little boy that you don't even want to sit still long enough to EAT! Now solids.. that is a different story. You love eating at dinner and breakfast time. You have had : Peaches (your favorite), apples, green beans, peas, mangos, carrots, and your top favorite veggie is sweet potatoes. I mix them in with just about everything. You also LOVE puffs & you like yogurt melts too.</span></span></span></span><br />

Wes Patrick,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
How in the world have six months already gone by? Part of me wants to be sad about that. But.. to think back to August 25 and how little we knew you is crazy. Of course we already loved you more than words.. but it has been SO SO fun to watch you change and grow. I love seeing your little personality develop. You remind me a lot of your daddy and that is just fine :) It has been hard the past few days as I want to worry so much about your weight.. Daddy and I keep remembering that you are on loan to us.. you are a child of God and He is going to take care of you! I will do my part by really focusing on getting you to nurse well. We can only imagine all the amazing things you are going to do in the next 6 months.. we love watching you explore the world and see new things each day. It is amazing how quick you will figure something out and start doing it. We love you so much and feel so blessed to be your parents Wes!</div>

Your energy level AMAZES me... you are going to exhaust your mommy when you start crawling Wes!</span></span><br />

I am so glad I found it because you absolutely love to rub it on your face as you fall asleep.</span></span><br />

They range anywhere from 45 minutes-2 hours. Most are 45 minutes.. if you are REALLY tired you will sleep longer or put yourself back to sleep. You are getting SO MUCH better at putting yourself to sleep for naps without crying. At night you seem happy to get in your crib and put yourself to sleep... naps are a different story. You ARE getting better though and mommy is SO happy about that! You sleep at night from 7:30 pm-7 am. On a good night you wake up once to eat, around 3/4 am. On a bad night you wake up twice. We have had a lot of GOOD nights lately so I am hoping that continues buddy!! Some mornings you wake up early, around 6 or 6:30 but you will usually entertain yourself in your crib until I come and get you (thanks!)</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Crying: You are still quite the little dramatic boy from last month. MOST of the time if you cry we can distract you by making a silly noise or a funny face and you start to smile and forget about it. You still get scared by loud noises but are much easier to calm down these days. Now, when you are eating you will "whine" if you are done, if we aren't feeding you fast enough OR if you want to try and drink from your sippy cup (You want to hold it by yourself SO bad.. you are persistent--thats for sure!)</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Eating: You eat every 3 to 3.5 hours during the day. You have 2 meals with solids, breakfast and dinner. I breastfed you and then about 30 minutes later give you solids. You eat oatmeal mixed with breastmilk. I normally add in a fruit at breakfast and a veggie at dinner, so far you have had : Bananas (LOVE), pears (not so much, peaches (ok), sweet potatoes (LOVE), avocado (ok). I have a baby breeza so I am making all of your baby food.. I am shocked at how easy it really is and it really doesn't taste that bad since it is fresh!</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span><br />

Wes Patrick,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You are almost half a year old.. that is crazy buddy. Daddy and I have loved watching you start to eat solid foods this month, it has been so fun. You also are drinking out of a sippy cup when you eat and I can't believe how BIG you look doing that. So often I look at you and see you doing something and am amazed at how grown up you seem. Then, some nights when I am doing the dishes and you are playing with daddy I see you from across the room... and you still look so tiny. It melts my heart when you see me across the room and give me a BIG grin... oh I never knew how special that moment is! You are such a silly boy and you love to figure new things out. Everyday it seems I see you realizing you can do something new.. and you work on it, and work on it, until you figure it out! You are very persistent that is for sure! At your 4 month check up your doctor commented on your energy. He said you were gonna wear your mommy out when you start crawling.. I think that is the truth. Although Daddy says you love to stand so much you might just skip crawling and go straight to walking! Speaking of your Daddy, oh does he love you SO much! When he gets home he holds you and loves on you and it just melts Mommy's heart. When he is off work and he hears you wake up in the morning (Playing in your crib) he JUMPS out of bed and rushes to get you.. even at 7 AM. You are so loved Wes Patrick. Wes, we love being your mommy and daddy. We can't wait to see what this month brings buddy!</div>

Wes Patrick,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I know I say it every month but buddy you are growing SO fast!! Somedays, your Daddy gets home from work and swears you grew that day. I believe it.. some nights when I am putting you in your crib I can't believe how big you feel. We love watching you figure things out and it is so exciting to see you master a new thing. Being your mommy is the best and I loved getting to have a baby this Christmas. It just makes the holidays that much sweeter. Your Daddy and I are really enjoying making you give us those HUGE gummy smiles and also your laughs. You don't laugh too often but when you do we LOVE it! We can't wait to see how you change and grow in the next month. As we start the new year we have SO SO much to thank God for, but you are obviously the BEST blessing HE gave us in 2012. We love you sweet boy!</div>

(still do this from month 2)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">*You do not like loud noises that startle you.

You have 3-4 naps a day. I try to do 4 but sometimes you won't ever fall asleep for the last one. Just look around in your crib or swing. One great thing is you are very content being alone in your crib or swing... sometimes it just takes you so long to get yourself to sleep that you get frustrated and over tired.. so when that happens I will rock you. You go to bed at 7pm (bath at 6:30, asleep by 7) and you wake up once, sometimes twice, to eat. You sleep until 7:15 or so. You normally only have one "good nap" (which to Mommy is 2 hours) all the other ones are around 1 hour.. sometimes just 45 minutes. I have tried everything to help you nap longer but you really aren't fussy...so I am over trying! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Crying: You are pretty content these days. If you are cryings it is almost always because you are over tired... which has gotten much better lately. Luckily you get a lot of good sleep at night so this keeps you happy even with not so good naps. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Eating: You eat every 3 to 3.5 hours during the day. This month you got a lot more "efficient" with your nursing and only eat for around 15 minutes total, where it used to be 25. You also pull off a lot and "talk" to me or look around. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Your daddy and I can't believe how much you have changed this month. You are so expressive and we can just sit and listen to your little noises for hours. I think all 3 of us love bath time the most. Daddy is home, and we get to watch your face light up as daddy brings you in the bathroom. He undresses you and talks to you about your day and tries to get you to laugh. Mommy gives your bath and lately, we've been singing christmas songs. (I think your favorite is Rudolph) Then, Daddy dries you off, gives you a massage and gets you dressed for bed. I love this time together and I know your daddy does to. We can't wait to spend Christmas with you this year, the Holidays are even more special with you around. You are such a blessing to us and we thank God for allowing us to be your parents and pray that we always go to Him to help us be the best parents we can be. </span></div>

Wes</div>
2 Months Old: October 25, 2012<br />
Length: 23.5 inches (79%)<br />
Weight: 11 lbs 7 oz (36%) <br />
Head Circumference: 15.5 inches (66%)<br />
Diapers: You are wearing size 1 and can fit in size 2. I usually put you in size 2 at night.<br />
Clothes: 3-6 months. I can no longer fit you in your 0-3 month things. Some of your 3-6 months are a little big. We got you some cute little jeans and they fit but are kind of big.. you are just long and lean so most pants slide right off of you.<br />
Likes:<br />
*being swaddled (this is new.. you used to hate it for the first 10 minutes or so, now when you see me get the blanket out and I start wrapping you.. you get happy!) I use the Miracle Swaddle Blanket and I swear by it.. that thing is amazing and has helped me to get a lot of sleep- woohoo!<br />
*ceiling fans.. you love watching it go around.. and you love to "talk" to it.<br />
*your hands.. you have recently discovered that your fist can go in your mouth.. and you are constantly doing it.<br />
*your paci- you are now taking a NUK paci, sometimes you still prefer the soothie but Grammy is happy you are liking the Nuk because it is better for your teeth (which will come later!)<br />
*mommy and daddy- you love to look at us and "talk" to us.<br />
*your MamaRoo, if you wake up at night I move you from your crib to the Mamaroo and you stay asleep.. you also take a lot of your naps in it still.<br />
*you still LOVE your bath and massage. I have no doubt it is your favorite time of the day!<br />
*Nursing.. you love to eat.<br />
New Things: <br />
*You turn your head in the direction of our voices<br />
*You "talk"to us, mostly in the morning and during/after your bath<br />
*You have discovered your hands and keep putting them in your mouth. I notice you always use your right hand. You also prefer to lay out head to the right.<br />
*You are holding your head up.. you only do it for a minute or two though.. we are working on it!<br />
*Sometimes now when we hold you up you put weight on your legs.<br />
*You are so much more alert, constantly staring at things and taking it all in. This has also caused you to get over stimulated much easier than last month.<br />
*You roll over from your tummy to your back- technically this was after 2 months, you did it today (October 30)<br />
Dislikes: Well.. you must have been a bit more indecisive in month 1 but now you know what you like and don't like.. you are pretty particular..<br />
*You are particular about your naps.. you really prefer to be at home, and in your swaddle blanket. Sometimes you will nap in the car and when mommy is running errands.. but if you are over tired you let me know you want to be home. This is the #1 reason you get upset.. I guess you just get over stimulated really easily. So we try to stay home a lot and I plan errands during your wake time.<br />
*You still HATE when you are in your car seat and the car is not moving.<br />
*You hate when I am about to feed you and set you down to do something.. you start this pitiful cry to let me know I hurt your feelings.<br />
*We learned today that you hate shots! Whew... after you got them you screamed for a few minutes and turned red.. Daddy was holding you after and you would calm down.. then I guess you would get a Flashback or something because you would start screaming again. I nursed you and you calmed down and went to sleep.. very thankful for that because that screaming broke my heart.<br />
*You don't like sitting in the same spot for too long... you are good about being on your own but often start fussing and if I move you to a new spot (to look at something new) you are usually content.<br />
<br />
Sleep: You take 4 naps a day.. most of them are about 1-1.5 hours but the last one is usually only 45 minutes. You go down fairly easy for most of your naps except the 4th one.. you always take that one in the mamaroo and I often have to come put your paci back in for you to stay asleep. You sleep 5-6 hours at night (on Monday night you slept 7, that was great!) then after the 6 hour stretch you do a 4 hour stretch. Mommy has learned so much about looking for your "nap cues" to let me know its time to go down. You are normally awake for about an hour when you start to yawn. We try to put you in your crib before you are asleep. If you start to cry we give you 10 minutes and then do the "shh" pat that we learned from the book "The Baby Whisper" you seem to be doing well with that. I love rocking you but I also really want you to be able to put yourself to sleep... I think that is very important!<br />
*We have been having sleep issues since your shots on Thursday--- you are waking every 3.5 hours at night-- not very fun :( I am praying it ends soon and trying to be patient with you but am really missing those 5 and 6 hour stretches of sleep. I am very thankful I am staying home with you though and can nap during the day when you nap. <br />
<br />
Crying: Like I said earlier.. you've gotten pretty particular about what you like. You mostly only cry for 2 reasons 1. hungry and 2. over-stimulated. The hungry cry can be solved quickly.. the over tired cry sounds more like a scream and I have to work to calm you down--so we really try to not get to that point! Most days now you are napping so well you don't get over tired, and it's been great! If I am out to long and you get off your schedule then it's obvious by your mood. You really like your schedule and knowing what is coming next.<br />
<br />
Eating: You eat every 3 to 3.5 hours during the day and I do a dreamfeed around 9/10pm and then you wake up around 3/4 am for your nightfeed. Sometimes you wake up again at 6.. and sometimes at 7. We are working towards making it 7 all of the time because Mommy likes that a lot more! :)<br />

Your daddy and I can't believe you are 2 months old already. You have changed a lot in the past month.. we are really starting to see your little personality. You are kind of dramatic when you are ready to eat or sleep.. and I will admit you probably get that from your mommy :) You have changed our lives so much and it is amazing how much time your daddy and I can spend laying in bed staring at you take in all that is around you. In some ways I want time to slow down.. and in other ways I am ready to see you change and do so many more things. With the Holidays approaching I can't help but think how next year at this time you will be walking around- wow! For now I will cherish being able to hold you in my arms so easily, and watching you give me those HUGE grins as you drift off to sleep. The toughest moment this month was after your shots.. you were SO upset and screaming for over an hour and daddy and I could not seem to help you to feel better. My heart was broken and I would have done anything to take that pain away from you. Once you finally calmed down I was so thankful to see you smile again. It is amazing how much we love you and at the same time how much I feel my love for you has grown since last month. I can't wait to see the changes month 3 brings. We love you so much sweet boy. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>1 Month Old: September 25, 2012</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Length:</b> 23 inches</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Weight: </b>Last week you were 9.4 lbs, so probably a bit more than that!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Diapers:</b> You can squeeze into our leftover newborns if I know you will be getting changed soon, other then that you are in size 1</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Clothes: </b>0-3 months, you can't fit in any of your newborn stuff because you are too long. Some of the 3 month stuff is a bit big, mostly because you are so skinny. You are long and lean :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Likes:</b> riding in the MOVING car (not a fan of stop lights), sitting outside, going on walks, looking at yourself in the mirror, laying on mommy or daddy's chest, eating, your paci, you LOVE bath time and when Daddy gives you a massage after your bath!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>New Things: </b>You are focusing so much more on our faces, you follow an object with your eyes, you suck your thumb occasionally, you are starting to coo a lot, especially when you look in your mirror on your play mat :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Dislikes: </b>You sometimes get overly stimulated and tired around 7 pm, it is your "witching hour" and mommy really tries to get you to sleep before 7. Sometimes you fight it and then you get so upset because you are so tired. This is the only time you are fussy and it normally is avoidable so we are thankful for that! If you are awake you like to be able to see us, you are fine in your swing or bouncer as long as you can see what we are doing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Sleep: </b>Wes you are a wonderful sleeper.. I am thankful for this everyday and also know it could go away at any point. (please don't change this!) you nap in 2 and 3 hour stretches during the day. When you are awake I aim for about 50 minutes tops and then get you back to sleep. You sleep in 3 and 4 hour stretches at night and sometimes even a 5 hour stretch! Since you love a paci so much if you wake up before the 3 hours I try to just give you that and most of the time you fall back asleep.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Crying: </b>other then the "witching hour" we don't hear you cry very much. Of course you give a soft cry to let me know you are hungry or tired.. but as soon as Mommy gives you what you need you are quiet. Every now and then when we are at a stop light in the car you will scream for a minute or two but you calm yourself down.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Eating: </b>You eat every 3 hours during the day and everything 3-5 hours at night, depending on how long you sleep. I didn't have to work really to get you on a schedule, you kind of did it naturally. I think you really like your schedule and that you can predict what is going to happen in your day. I notice if we are out and things change significantly you are more fussy that evening.</span></div>

Your daddy and I cannot believe that you are ONE month old! In ways.. the past month has gone by so fast.. in other ways it seems long because it is hard to imagine life before you!

We are so excited to watch you change and grow and cherish each moment. You are one LOVED little boy!</div>

You are growing SO much already and I am already putting you in size 1 diapers at night. At your 2 week check up you weighed 8 lbs 2 ozs and were 22 inches long. You are nursing really well but sometimes are a bit fussy afterwards, I have learned I really have to work hard to get some good burps out of you- you are quite the gassy little boy! You are a GREAT sleeper and sleep in 3 and 4 hour stretches each night-- sometimes you even give mommy a 5 hour stretch which is just heavenly! You LOVE your bath and we give it to you around 7 pm each night. After that you have a bit of a "witching hour" as mommy feeds you before bed. You normally don't fall asleep until close to 9:30 but once you are asleep you stay asleep so that is good! We love you so much Wes and can't imagine our world without you. </td></tr>

I was REALLY wanting my sweet boy to come on his own and wasn't really looking forward to being induced.. but at 41 weeks I was so ready to meet him and didn't really care too much how it happened. We packed up the car, told Lucy bye (she tried to jump in the front seat 2 times and I started crying...) and headed to the hospital. It was rather uneventful and not how I thought we would be going to the hospital, since we were not actually in labor yet. We got to our room, I changed into my gown, and it all started to seem a bit more real. My doctor had told me that when we got to the hospital they would soften my cervix using Cervidil, and then sometime early Saturday morning (around 5 am or so) we would start the Pitocin. The nurse put the Cervidil in (around 6:00) and my doctor came in to check on me for the evening. She said she expected me to have some cramping over night, but nothing major. If the pain got bad she had prescribed me some pain killers to be given through the IV and also an Ambien to help me get some sleep. Drew and I watched TV and just hung out and listened to Wes' heartbeat (I had 2 monitors on my belly, one for this heartbeat and one for contractions.) Around 9 pm I started feeling contractions but tried not to look at the screen or time them since I was sure it was nothing serious. Around 10 pm I asked Drew to turn the screen towards me and as I was having a contraction I saw the line bounce all the way to the top- whew! My mom came up to hang out for a bit and kept commenting on "when I had a big one" Drew reminded her that I knew when it was a big one-- I could feel it, ha! Before my mom left (around 11 pm) I took the Ambien and went ahead and got the painkillers in my IV, my tailbone was killing me and I was having contractions every 8 minutes. The painkillers felt great for about 30 minutes but then it seemed to fade away. I drifted in and out of sleep until around 2 am and was really hurting again. The nurse gave me more painkillers (I could have it every 2 hours) but once again it only helped for a short time. At 4 am the pain was getting very intense and I asked Drew to call my mom to come back up to the hospital. The nurse came in and was so surprised at how quickly I was progressing and commented that I might not even need the Pitocin. She decided she wanted to take the Cervidil out around 5 am to give my body a rest. After she took it out I was laying in bed, My mom massaging my feet and Drew helping me breathe slowly through each contraction. I kept commenting to my mom that I felt something coming out of me but she wasn't really replying. I said I might need to go the bathroom and when I stood up a gush of liquid came out-- my water had broke! The nurse came in and checked me and I was 3 cm. She said I could have the epidural now and I was ecstatic! ha :) I had to wait for the anesthesiologist for about an hour... the hospital was crazy busy with deliveries! That hour was VERY long and quite painful. When the anesthesiologist came in he asked if I had any questions .. I quickly replied no and my mom and Drew left the room. My nurse was Cheryl and she was AMAZING. I was leaning on her while he put the epidural in, and during that time I had 4 contractions. It was so hard to hold still and breath through it but I kept reminding myself with each contraction that it could be the last one I feel. Once I finally laid back down and the epidural kicked in I was so relieved. I closed my eyes and drifted in and out of sleep for awhile, I wanted to rest up so I would have energy when it was time to push. From around 8 am to noon things went by so fast. Everytime the nurse checked me I had progressed so much more than she thought I would have and she was shocked. I never had to have the pitocin which was great! At 12 pm she said I was 10 cm and called my doctor. I carried Wes very high and he refused to drop so even though I was fully dilated my doctor wanted to see him engage some more so I would not have to push for hours. The nurse had everyone leave the room except my mom and Drew and we did some practice pushes before the doctor came in. I remember them praising me as I was pushing and this made me want to keep up the hard work. I kept picturing forceps and the vaccuum thing in my mind and didn't want them to have to use these--- so I pushed with all my might. Around 12:15 my doctor arrived (she was so busy-- had already delivered SIX babies!) She kept telling me what a great job I was doing and I remember looking down and seeing Wes head. It was so amazing and I was so anxious to see the rest of my sweet boy. At 1 pm I heard those first cries and it was amazing. I couldn't stop crying as they sat him on my chest and I kept telling him how excited we were to finally see him. It is amazing how much your heart grows in that instant. I nursed him and he did fantastic for about 20 minutes, then they performed his apgar and all the other things they have to do then. They brought him back to me after a few minutes and he got to stay with us for quite a while- about an hour and a half. Drew's mom and my dad came in to see him. Wes did fantastic during our hospital stay, he is such a happy content baby and is nursing so well. However-- his mommy was NOT the best patient. I lost a lot of blood during delivery- and was also anemic. When I tired to get out of bed a few hours after giving birth I fainted, and fainted 3 more times the next morning. After all of this excitement my OB decided it would be best to give me a blood transfusion. I am SO thankful she had me get one because after that I felt like a new person! My recovery was still kind of slow and I am just now really starting to feel like myself again- 2 weeks later. Still having to take it easy and my body lets me know quickly when I have overdone it.

Your due date was Friday and it was a very uneventful day. Mommy went to Galveston with Grammy and Kathy. We ate and walked around a lot and hoped maybe since we were traveling away from the hospital (not too far) you might decide to join us. Mommy is very ready for you to come join us but you seem very content inside. I went to the doctor on Thursday and had made a little bit of progress (thinning, but not dilated). We go back on Tuesday morning for a non-stress test and will either induce on Tuesday or Thursday, depending on how things look. I am still praying that you will jut come on your own before then... but I know that God knows exactly when you will make your debut so I rest in that! Your Grammy flew in last Tuesday and has been keeping me busy while Daddy is at work. We go on lots of walks, talk lots about you, and shop! I am still sleeping pretty well so I am very thankful for that, I know I will need my rest once you arrive. Some moments I can't believe you are still not here.. and I start to wonder if I will be pregnant for forever.. I know that is not true though. Next week right now I will be holding you in my arms and that is a sweet, sweet feeling. Today we went to church and I kept thinking "this is for sure my last time to not be here with Wes in my arms." I am rubbing my belly a lot and cherishing you move around (you are still moving like crazy.. despite the tiny amount of space you have in there!) I know I will miss these things and I feel so blessed that I have gotten you all to myself for the last 40 weeks. I can't wait to see what you look like and to feel those little feet from the outside. Daddy and I can feel them pretty well now when you stick them up and its so crazy to us that you are in there.. so close yet so far away. We can't wait for you to come and if you want to come tonight.. we are ok with that. I am glad my next blog post will be about your birth. <br />
Love,<br />
