One Month and We're all Smiles

I can't believe it's already been a month since this little boy came into our lives. He's such a nice boy, very patient, very cuddly and so cute! I know I'm supposed to have him sleep in his crib when he naps or I'll be sorry but I just love the cuddles. So, I guess maybe I'll be sorry or maybe I'll look back and enjoy the time spent cuddling my first baby:) I can't think of a better way to spend my day!

Our little biker man

He has cRazY hair after his baths

I'm pretty sure he's been having a growth spurt lately because he eats every two hours (ouch!) and sleeps all the time...except at about 5 until 7 AM which is fine for me cause I can sleep when he sleeps. Sorry Adam who has class at 8:00 AM! The picture below shows how chubby my baby's getting with his double chin and his tummy poking out of his shirt. I love to kiss chubs!

CHOMP!

Snoozing with Daddy matching arms in the air...like father like son:)

One month old and looking so grown up

Here's to all the AMAZING months to come!

3 weeks plus a little

I can't believe my baby is already 3 weeks old!! Everyone says time moves fast with these little babes and it is so true. Not to mention the fact that Wyatt is growing like crazy. When we went to the doctor 2 days after we left the hospital he was down to 6 lbs 4 oz which was a normal weight loss. She said at his 2 week check she would like him to be back up to his birthweight of 6 lbs 10 oz. Well, he definitely made that goal:) When we took him back he weighed 7 lbs 8 oz!! He's getting to be our big boy. He fits into all his clothes now...in fact he is almost outgrowing some of them. Not a problem though cause I'm pretty sure the bigger he gets the cuter he gets so we'll survive.

Adam getting a little snuggle time & studying of course!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

At my follow up appointment I got good news too--I can start running again. Hooray!! I never thought I'd be so excited to start working out again--we'll see how long the excitement lasts. So, I went for my inaugural run (okay so it was more of a slow jog:) on Monday at the 3 week mark and it felt awesome!! Now if I can just figure out what to do with all this extra skin that has overtaken my stomach. That's something no one warned me about. What the heck?

This picture's for my sister to see how much he loves snuggling with his Ducky

And this is what he looks like right now...which is why I am ending this post to snuggle:)

Wyatt

Here's the story of a little boy named Wyatt. It all started on Sunday February 21st. I started the day with work from 10-4, when I got home my visiting teacher's came, then we went to our friend's son's baptism at 6:00 PM. After the baptism I was feeling way tired but I figured it was just from being on my feet all day. We finished the day over at the Hardy's house after the baptism for some dinner. At 9:00 we were saying our last thank yous and goodbyes and I had a painful contraction. By the time we made the 10 minute drive home I was having another one. These were the first contractions that actually hurt so I didn't think to much of it. I laid down for a bit once we were home. Then our friend Ryan came over at 10:00 and I didn't want to be bad company so I moved from the bed to the couch to hang out. The contractions kept coming but were anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes apart so still not too worried. He left around 11:30 and Adam and I went to bed. From 12-2 :30 the contractions kept coming but I kept waiting because I did NOT want to go to the hospital and get sent home!

Finally at 2:30 I woke up Adam and said they were painful and close together so he sat with me and timed them. By 3:30 I thought I would die but Adam was not fully on board with the fact that I was in labor. If they were even one second above 5 minutes apart he would say, that one was over 5 minutes. Funny boy, I finally made an executive decision that it was time.

We got to the hospital and I was at a 3 and 90 percent thinned. I got into a room and I really wanted an epidural at this point so after another two hours of waiting (that's another story for another time) I finally got what I wanted. Let me just tell you after having contractions for 9 hours without anything I don't know how people go natural all the way! I am a firm believer in epidurals and will be getting one with any and all future pregnancies:)

By 6 AM I was totally relaxed and from there it was all downhill. Adam and I just hung out and took naps and at noon the nurse said let's start pushing. I pushed for an hour, the doctor came in the last 10 minutes and out popped Wyatt. He didn't even make a peep. He was a little stressed when he came out cause he was stuck for a minute but once they got things going he still never cried. It kind of freaked me out cause I thought something was wrong but they said he was fine just looking around.

Seriously?! Look a those chubby little cheeks, that was seconds after birth..he must take after his mom:)

Adam said he was going to wait in the lobby smoking cigars with the boys until the baby was born. Instead he was there the whole time supporting my back while I pushed, what a guy!

And so after a long absence from the blogging world there's the story of Wyatt. He still doesn't cry much even to this day, only when he's hungry but that's okay cause I cry when I'm hungry too:)

Crazy how fast they become your whole life...what a life to have:)
