Three Weeks Old!

At his three week old check up, Ian was 10.91 lbs (90%) and 23.31 in (98%). My kid is going to be a basketball player! He is in the 98 percentile for his height! I never thought I would have a tall kid considering if he had gotten my genes he would look like an oompa loompa!

Swinging Around

Ian has his fussy time from 6pm to 11pm... Its not that fun for his parents. We have started to learn that he LOVES his swing and his binky right before he wants to go to sleep. And it calms him down during his fussy time as well!

Being Flagged

Poor Ian, Jonathan flagged him with flagging tape that archaeologists used to flag their artifacts and such.... But did it have to be pink.

So humiliating...

My Boys

This morning I had a dentist appointment, so I got up, fed and changed the baby. Then I left him in the bed with Jonathan while I went to take a shower. When I returned this is what I encountered...

Notice that they are sleeping the exact same way with their arms up!!

Bath Time

Ian is not a big fan of the bath but after we finish, he looks SOO cute in his towel!!

Birth Story

July 7,2010

I had to be induced because I was two weeks late and Ian was just not coming... I got to the hospital at 8pm and they were so backed up with other women having babies that they didn't start me until closer to 10pm... All night I was in labor but I did not progress until the next morning...

July 8, 2010

I was told I could not get an epidural until I was 4cm dialated, sad thing was it took me forever to get to a 4cm and a 2cm and 3cm starting really hurting. When I got to a 4cm, they gave me an epidural, which slowed my contractions down, so they decided to break my water which also slowed down the contractions. They had to give me a dose of pitocin to start my contractions again. Once they did I went from a 5cm to a 10cm in about 45 minutes. Then I pushed for two and a half hours before Ian came into this world. I was so exhausted after the pushing, I could not believe he was finally here. It was one of the most awesome experiences of my life! Our wonderful little family is now three!!
