1 month appt.

Well, our little man now weighs 11 lbs, and is 22 3/4 inches long! He's growing like a weed.

We had an ultrasound done on his hips last week (because he was breech, and because of my hip birth defect) and everything looks perfectly normal! He was checked out pretty good at birth, they just wanted to do this as a precautionery measure.

We've survived weeks 1 & 2!

Well, we've been parents now for almost two weeks, and what a ride it's been! Nicholas has been sleeping for 2 1/2 -5 hours at a stretch, and going back to sleep relatively quickly. Gee, if only that would last! :) He's gained 14 ozs. since last Wednesday, and is now up to a healthy 9lbs. He's been (obviously) eating like a champ. We're really enjoying parenthood so far, and can't wait to watch him grow!

We had some professional pics taken of him last week, and should have the proofs by within the next few days. We'll be sure to post 'em!

Nicholas is finally here!!!

We went in for an induction yesterday at 7 AM. They started the pitocin around 8, as well as a foley catheder in my cervix to help me dilate. After 2 hours, I was dilated to a 5 or 6, from a 1. At that time, they broke my water, only to discover that the baby had flipped, and was now breech. 2 hours later, they took me in for a c-section, and 15 minutes later, there he was! He weighed in at 8 lbs, 11 ozs, and is 21" long!
