One Month Update!

One week old

One Month Update from Thomas:

Growth

Weight: nearly 9 lbs!!!

Length: nearly 22 inches - long and skinny like daddy

Things I can do:
POOP! I'm the master at it! lots of eating (breast milk is the best thing EVER!)
I can also see better now, I stare at the mirror in my swing and love looking at mom and dad
I giggle but Mom is still pretty convinced that all that is gas :)

Things that I have changed:
I've grown! I outgrew most of my newborn clothes so we upgraded to 0-3 months. Mom was a little sad but happy that I'm so healthy.
I also now love to be in the Mobi

Big News!
Next week we start trying out this place mom calls the crib? We'll see how that goes . . .

One Week Ago Today . . .

   One week ago today we were in the process of having our baby. My doctor told me on Thursday that if I had not gone into labor by Saturday she would start inducing. I am so grateful that she did because as we found out after he was born had he been much bigger I would not have been able to avoid a ceasarian birth.
   We started on Saturday and spent a little under 29 hours in labor and 3 1/2 hours pushing to get our angel out. We found out while pushing that my tailbone had small notches that we had to push him past which is one reason it took so long.
   I was worried before having him that I would miss being pregnant. I had enjoyed my 40 weeks so much and loved the closeness of feeling this life moving inside me. I had no idea how much better it could get. Marco and I have never been more in love with each other or any person. Our lives changed instantly in ways we could have never imagined. He is everything we could have wanted and more. The out pour or love and support from our family and friends has been so overwhelming and amazing. We are so thrilled and ready for the adventure of parenthood we get to now experience :)
