Lots of Firsts in the First Week/Second Weeks

Image
By
The first week with Liam has been a blessing.  After two nights of being home it seems he has found a pattern that works for all of us.  He is now sleeping 2-4 hours at night and usually goes right back down after eating and a diaper change!  During the days it is much of the same, except he'd LOVE to sleep all day (but mommy wakes him every 3 hours for feedings).  Most days he will stay awake for ten to thirty minutes after one feeding.  Really is nice to interact with him during these times.

Liam has had a week filled with "firsts".  We took Liam on his first walk (and a second this week), he had his first bath last night, had a first (and second) appointment with the pediatrician (today they circumcised him--an awful experience for mommy) and celebrated Daddy's first Father's Day!

The pediatrician is very impressed with Liam's progress.  He is up to 6lbs 6oz (he was only expected to measure in at his birth weight of 6lbs 1 oz by this upcoming Monday) so he has exceeded this goal!  We are so proud.  Also, the doctor was impressed to see Liam hold his head up while I was holding him today.  He commented on how strong our little guy is!  YEP, that's our little man!

So far Liam is really calm, laid back and content.  I think he gets his personality traits from Daddy (mommy is way too much of a worry-wart to ever be calm!).  However after comparing our faces in a mirror, I'd have to say he looks like mommy!  Either way he is a true miracle and blessing.  He means so much to us... our lives were so incredibly dull before him (although somehow we thought they were complete).  Weird, huh?!

25 Weeks & Doctor's Appt.

By
We hit the 25 week mark today!  Hard to believe!  Time is flying so fast... We had our doctor's appointment today (Kevin is out of town Thursday, so we moved it up).  I weighed in at a whopping 109.8!  My nurse and my doctor's response was they are so so proud of me (I felt so special!  Who would have thought GAINING weight would be so exciting?!).  Kevin's response "WHOA!"  And my response to his "WATCH IT Buddy!"  Ha!  So that's almost 14lbs of weight gain!  I really am quite proud of myself... never thought I could do it (although, I spend most of my time eating these days, so it makes sense). The nurse said I "look cute, am starting to show and have that pregnancy waddle."  Considering I did not feel like I was waddling (sometimes I have to because my tailbone hurts so bad) I was not exactly thrilled about this comment, lol!  I asked Kevin if there is something he is forgetting to tell me... ha! The doctor measured my...

One Decision Down... 18+ Years Worth Left to Go!

By
So, in the scheme of things this probably should have been one of the easiest decisions to make, but Kevin and I just could not agree on a crib bedding set (or theme for that matter) for our little man's nursery.  We finally got it down to two and left those on the computer to stare at for a few days.   Well, Kevin finally compromised (okay--he gave in) and my set won!  So, our son now has a bedding set and a safari themed bedroom! (on order).  Next decision (prone to more disagreements, I'm sure) is finding our little man a name!  If you ask Kevin, his name is Aisen, but I have yet to agree on that (more on the great name debate later!).  For now, here is the set we're ordering our son tonight!  What do you think?! Bedding        Mobile, plays Rock-A-Bye Baby Close up of bedding/mobile   Sheet (Kevin was worried it's not "manly" enough, I had to convince him it is giraffe print and NOT leopard, which it is, if you loo...

We conceived our little miracle this time last year ( your estimated conception date was between Tuesday, September 29, 2009 and Tuesday, October 6, 2009--source babymed ). I have always thought my due date was off by 2 days, but either way we conceived around this time last year! My how things change in a year... what an incredibly blessed year it has been! I remember taking the pregnancy test a few weeks before Halloween. Crazy to believe this Halloween I'll be dressing up my 4 month old sweet lil' pumpkin! The very excited parents-to-be Halloween 2009.   Halloween 2010: Our family of 4, is now 5 (hoping to get our updated Halloween photo this year!).
