Micah is 2 Months Old

Our little boy is two months old!  He is just the best little boy and we are so in love with him.  I'm not doing a really great job of documenting what he's been up too and when, but at two months old it's still not a whole heck of a lot. However, everything he does do is so exciting.  Haha.

Micah is 2 months old!

I posted the video of him rolling over, which was awesome.  He hasn't done it again and I know he just rolled over because he was so upset.  He didn't know he did that and I'm sure he didn't know how he did that.  Haha.  I still put him on his tummy and he either just lays there and cries or falls right asleep.

 This is how daddy puts baby boy to sleep.  :)

He's also started to stay awake more.  I feed him every 3 - 3.5 hours and he'll stay awake for about an hour afterwards, then he gets fussy and falls asleep.  He's sleeping through the night mostly although it's getting harder to get him to sleep for the night.  He is like his momma and wants to stay up late.  He's usually in bed around 10ish or maybe a little earlier and he'll get me up sometime between 5 - 7am.  Not too bad!!!

He's really started to smile alot lately.  We have a nice chat every morning and he smiles and 'talks' to me.  It's so cute!  He's also doing better at making eye contact.

1st time in the bumbo - he's not so sure about this.
In fact he started crying right after this 

 

It's so exciting to see how he's developing and changing.  We keep commenting on how much bigger he's already gotten.  We haven't been back to the Dr. since he was 2 weeks old so we're curious to see how much weight he's gained. 

 Daddy's favorite shirt.  It swallows him now but
we had to wear it for watching the game.
It says "Pint sized Cowboys fan"

I take tons of videos and pictures of him and even bought a portable hard drive to store them all on.  The problem comes when it's time to sort through them all.  That can be a huge task but I definitely want to document everything this sweet boy does. 

Well that's it for now.  We'll update again soon!

Love ya,
Stef

I'm Here to Report. . .

A good checkup from the Dr!  I'm 30 weeks pregnant this week and we went in yesterday for an ultrasound to check on my placenta previa and see our baby boy.  I'm happy to report all is great!  He's doing really well and right on track with his growth.  Praise God for a healthy baby!

We saw baby fingers and toes, little feet and knees, hair, and a button nose.  He was sucking his lips during the ultrasound and kicking me.  He didn't really want to move his hand away from his face so we didn't get a good pic of his face.  It does look like he has chubby cheeks though! 

The ultrasound tech and the Dr. both said everything looks really great.  He weighs approx. 3lbs. 8oz. right now.  They said his heart, brain, stomach, kidneys, etc. all look good.  He's still a boy so that's good . . ya know. . . since we already painted the room.  ;)

I also don't have placenta previa anymore which means I don't have to have a c-section (unless something else comes up). YAY!   If you want to know what placenta previa is just Google it, it's not gross. I'm not sure I would recommend an image search though, no telling what you'd find.

I'll upload a few of the ultrasound pics in my next baby bump update.  They weren't great pics, it's sometimes so hard to tell what they're taking a picture of.

What I'm NOT happy to report is that we waited almost 3 HOURS for the dang ultrasound.  They told me ahead of time that they'd have to "work me in" but I thought that meant like a 30 - 45 min delay - maybe an hour.  3 hours is SLIGHTLY RIDICULOUS!  Or alot ridiculous actually.  I was so upset by the time I actually got in to the ultrasound room.  Then I still had to see the Dr. which made us late for another appointment we had made for later in the afternoon.  I mean I really didn't want to waste 3 hours of my precious vacation time to sit in a very uncomfortable chair with a baby kicking me in the ribs.  COME ON PEOPLE! 

Ok - I just had to vent.  Thank you!

At least the Dr. apologized but I will never agree to be "worked in" again.  Not happenin sista!

Anyways, we're just happy to have a good report from the Dr.  We're praying he'll continue to grow and be healthy until he's ready to meet the world.

Take Care!  Talk to ya soon.
