3 Weeks and counting

Connor is now over 3 weeks old. We saw Dr. Nave for his two week check up and he was very pleased with Connor's weight gain. He was 8 lbs 5 oz! All of his measurements came out to the 52nd percentile so he is right where he needs to be. He is doing great at home and starting to get more and more alert. The only problem is that if he is awake he thinks he needs to eat! He was a little fussy last night but I think that is becasue he has managed to catch a cold that Sarah first had and then I had it earlier this week. I guess we are testing that immune system early!

1 Week Old Already!

Connor's 1st week has already flown by! So far everyone is doing great. He is nursing like a champ and filling up diapers quickly. I am sure he will get a good report at his next Dr. visit on Monday. He lost a little too much weight after he was born (7lbs 4oz to 6lbs 10 oz) but neither I nor Dr. Nave was concerned because he just was not interested in nursing at first but he has certainly made up for lost time. We are starting to get on a schedule and I am going to skim through the Baby Wise book and refresh myself on the principles of it so that hopefully he will be a great sleeper like his sister. Sarah is still being a great big sister and loves her baby "Cubbie" or "Bubba" as she likes to call him. Today, Connor and I went over to Jennifer Grayson's house for his first official photo session. I cannot wait to see what Jen got! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I will try to keep the posts coming!

Wow!

Hey everyone! Baby Connor and Mommy are doing great! He looks like Sarah! Jen did wonderful, she is a super trooper! He is feeding right now, and sitting on his mommy's chest. His little Cub's hat is too big, go figure, a Mountjoy with a small head! Here are a couple of photos

The Water is Broken

Dr. Edwards came in and broke her water, she is dilated to 5.5 to 6, Jen feels great, her legs are a little numb from the Epidural, overall things look great. We will keep you posted!

Labor

Jen is in labor. She has fluids and the Pitocin going. Epideryl is going in, just waiting for the Doc and for her to progress. she is close to 5, so maybe this young man will show himself prior to noon? More updates on the hour.
