Boys, Boys, BOYS!

This morning our little guy woke up smiling and ready to play, ignorant of what the morning held. SHOTS! We took him to his 2 month checkup for a physical and immunizations. The moment we walked into the office he began to whimper as if he knew what was coming.
I’m totally making this more dramatic than it really was. Good grief.
He got 3 shots today. He screamed, then sobbed and held his breath. I really hate that cry because it breaks my heart. Ted held him and calmed him down, which took a while but he’s fine now. In the moment it seems so intense, ugh! He is totally wiped out from crying and is now napping. Poor guy!
He is now 13 lbs 10 oz (90%) and 23 3/4 inches long (75%). He is healthy and big! Although I just told Ted two days ago that I thought he grew length wise because he seemed thinner. He is still a little chunk for sure, but I could tell he grew.
I’m hoping the weight gain slows down a bit (I think it already is) because as much as I love a chunky baby, hauling him around when he’s 6 months plus is going to be quite the workout! Or maybe that’s a good thing :) Okay, now I’m rambling…
Two of my friends had their baby boys on the same day this week!

Please pray for my friend Ashton, who was induced this morning and is now in labor! She is due tomorrow and has anxiously been awaiting the arrival of her son. GO ASHTON!

While I’m here and have some time…
Tomorrow (according to the little counter above) Chase will be 2 months. WOW. He has just captured our hearts and most who meet him. He is such a good and happy baby!

In the past week 1/2:
  • He has learned to roll over onto his sides. I now am afraid to leave him on the changing table, even if only for one second.
  • He uses his fists to rubs his eyes when he is tired.
  • He “talks” and coos louder than before. Sometimes he squeals so loudly now! I love it.
  • He has begun to show a lot more personality!
  • He has slept through the night twice or he sleeps very good, waking up only once to feed!
  • He has become more and more a momma’s boy.
  • There have been a few nights where he would not sleep in his crib, but only beside mommy in bed.
I don’t want him to grow up to fast! I feel like he is already!
Okay one more thing before I get ready for work. I made a blog dedicated to me becoming healthy and fit again. I can officially begin working out- which will begin with walking- when Chase is 10 weeks! WOOOHOOO!
If you have any advice I would love it!

Swing, Swing

Originally we were going to purchase this one. I’m am SO thankful we were advised to not get a swing because (and only for this reason)…

Chase LOVES the cheesy things!
I would have never bought this one, but now I love it! Because I know it will keep his attention.
I love the more modern look, like our baby bouncer, but honestly it’s such a waste of money for us. For our baby and what he likes. Maybe our next baby will want the modern look? Yeah probably not. He pretty much dislikes his bouncer and the mobile on it doesn’t keep his attention. I am going to blame this on me. But you can’t blame me… the elephants and how it matched our colours, the ipod plug in… okay, okay it was because I liked it. Me.
P.S. amazon and ebay ROCK for purchases like this! Online garage sales :)

‘Not me Monday’

It hasn’t been a while since I’ve posted a ‘Not me Monday’!

Yesterday, in early hours of the morning, I was not so tired after feeding Chase that I decided the walk to the crib was too far away and he could just sleep with us. I was not awakened a few hours later by Ted asking, “Where is Chase?” which caused me to jump in fear and realize I had covered him up with our blanket at some point. He was sleeping soundly, but definitely nice and toasty.

I do not occasionally have an iced cold glass of caffeinated, carbonated, high fructose corn syrup-ed Dr. Pepper and enjoy it
thoroughly! Nope, not me!

Yesterday Ted and I did not, for the first time, wish that Chase could speak and tell us why he was screaming. I did not assume it was hunger, even though it wasn’t his hungry cry, and feed him over and over trying to soothe him. After the feeding didn’t work, I did not then assume it was gas. We did not spend spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to get the gas from his body and read that a warm bath and a massage might help. When I took his diaper off, and he immediately stopped his crying/screaming, I did not then realize the reason for all of the fuss! Slowly but surely the little plastic ring from his circ had been falling off of his penis on one side and pulling on the other! He didn’t have a gas bubble, no, he was hurting!!
Ted and I definitely did not cringe and feel awful.

After we realized Chase’s little peanut was hurting, we did not decide to let him take a extra long, warm bath and then remain naked for most of the night. Chase did not pee all over Ted during that diaper-less time :)

I did not (finally) get asked “when are you due?” while out running errands. I was not expecting this to happen sooner or later and this did not make me even more self conscience. This is why;
I couldn’t blame her for asking because I do look 20 weeks prego :/

During church Sunday, I was not embarrassed when Chase decided to poop during the service (he is a loud pooper- he grunts so loudly while doing so too). Nope, not me!

Saturday late evening, early morning I did not have a melt down and sit in bed sobbing as my little man ate. Nope, not me.

I do not usually have a “break down” in 1 out of every 3 days and usually during late night, early morning feedings.

I was not slightly embarrassed to write the above ‘not me’.

I did not take me over 4 hours to finish this between feedings, a quick shower after Chase threw up in my hair, getting one load of laundry started, making a pot of decaf coffee, rocking Chase to sleep. Nope, not me.

Our Smiley Little Man.

Chillin’ in bed with mommy & daddy

Chase is now 3 weeks old! He has begun to smile AT us and we can now tell. Before it was difficult to tell what he was smiling for or at. The past few days he smiles at us! We had our YWAM baby shower on Thursday evening and when he was placed back into my arms at the end of the shower, I looked down to see him smiling up at me. My heart melted all over again.

I can’t even express how much I’m in love with this little man!
(sorry the pic quality stinks. I only had my camera phone handy at the time!)
