First Day at Work

Yesterday, my mommy decided to pack me up and take me and Nani to visit her co-workers. It was a long trip but it was nice to hear familar voices. I must say I felt like home as I laid on my mommy's old desk and took a nap. I also got to meet baby Nicholas who is 5 months old and a potential future prom date. I also met baby Micaela who is 3 months old. We had lots of fun taking pictures, being held and mommy's co-workers were in awe about my hair!

Two Weeks to the Day

Yesterday I turned two weeks old, and it was a very exciting day! My mom was changing me in the morning, and noticed that something was missing. My umblilical cord fell off! I'm so happy to have a belly button now. The timing couldn't have been any better, because a few hours later a photographer came to take pictures of us. I can't imagine having her take picutres of me without being able to show off my new belly button.

Last night, since I no longer had the umblilical cord, I was finally able to take a bath in the bath tub! I really enjoyed it and I was a bit disappointed when it was time to get out. All in all, I'm doing great and I think my parents are finally getting the hang of the parenting thing.

First Trip to the Doctor

Today Mom and Dad took me to see the doctor for the first time, since they discharged us from the hospital. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep after they put me in the carrier. It is a very comfy seat, especially when it is in the car and we are driving somewhere. The next thing I knew, I was lying on a bed in the doctor's office.

I weighed in at 6 lbs. 4 oz. I had gained about 2 oz. since having left the hospital. The nurse didn't measure any change in my length. The doctor told mom and dad that I was doing great, and that I need to come back for my next appointment after one month. I look forward to riding in the carrier again soon.

Finally Made It!!!

Mommy was actually scheduled to be induced last night, but I had other plans. I figured rather than having to put mommy through an extra night in the hospital, I would go ahead and come on out on my own accord. At about 3am yesterday, the intense contractions began and my parents knew the time was arriving soon. They waited until about 5:30 or so to go to the hospital. They arrived, and checked in.

The cervix had ephased about 80%-90%, so it wasn't necessary to give Mom any cervidil. Soon after her IVs were in, they began giving her pitocin to advance the contractions. Shortly after, they gave her an epidural which made everything much better. After just a few hours, the doctor came in and checked on us and said that I was ready to come out. Mommy did such a great job and Daddy was very proud of her. I think Mommy only pushed through two contractions to get me out, which is phenomenal since I'm her first child. Daddy is going to take next week off from work to be at home with me and Mommy. Be sure to give us a call and please feel free to come by and visit us.

Here's a picture of me wrapped up like a burrito. Mmmmmmmm.... Burrito. I can't wait to have teeth some day so I can eat Mexican food.
