3 to 6

This weekend I finally sorted through Lucas' next set of clothes.  He's moved on up to the 3-6 months size.  I just went through and washed them all.  And of course I had to do all the Ooohing and Aaahing along with it.  A full hamper's load!  This kid's got more clothes than I do!! 

 

And that means that I had to retire his 0-3 month clothing.  That was sad to do!  There are still a few outfits that I just want to squeeze him into because they're soooo cute.  But nevertheless, it was long overdue.

On another note, we put him into his jumper again and this time he's holding his head up in it much better.  And he's actually turning this and swatting that to make it play the noise.  Of course he still can't touch the ground with his little (big) feet yet.

Alphabet Scramble: D is for... Part Two

This week's Alphabet Scramble is brought to you by the letter D.  This is the second part!  You can find Part One here.

 

 

Delivery - When I had my baby boy I was nine days overdue. I had gone in on the eighth day to be induced. From the time they began induction and the time I got the epidural was ten hours of laboring. The next seven hours went by slowly still but I managed to get some rest. At some point when my doctor checked me he accidently broke my water which helped to progress my labor finally.

           So the last three hours (yes, that's a total of twenty hours) I finally got into the last stage of active labor. Unfortunately, I'd say that that was the point where the epidural no longer helped me out. It didn't actually run out until the final push but it just wasn't effective for me anymore. So in essence, my delivery was pretty much natural.

           I'd say it was about two hours of pushing with just Hubby and the delivery Nurse until baby's head finally got into position. The Doctor was called and made it to the room relatively quickly since he'd just been taking a quick nap in the on-call room. Finally the last half hour of pushing and my baby boy was here!

           This short video was taken by Hubby shortly after the delivery. It was a very special moment for me as I was just amazed by the little person I was holding in my arms, that just previously I had been holding in my womb for ninth months.

Alphabet Scramble: D is for... Part One

This week's Alphabet Scramble is brought to you by the letter D.  I have split this into two parts because one topic I chose to elaborate.

Daycare - Since we've put Lucas into daycare he gets to spend more time with other infants.  He's usually the first to arrive and one of the last to leave.  The gals just love him.  One of them actually asked me if he ever cries!

Daddy - Lucas and Hubby love each other very much!
