Partying too hard.

Everett has just been drinking way too much since he was born(up to 5 oz at at time), we found him passed out twice now. here are the pics to prove it.

New Pics

Everett had his 2 week check-up. He now weighs 9 lbs 15 oz and is 21.5 inches long. He goes back at 2 months. He is doing well except for having his days and nights mixed up.

The King has arrived!

We went to the hospital on Oct. 30th at 7:00am and Tera was induced at 8:30am, she then proceeded into labor for the next ~14 hours, she was dealing with very intense contractions until around 8:30pm when she started pushing on Dr orders.

At 10:51pm October 30th, a 9lb/10oz baby boy, measuring 22inches long was born.

All of this happened without an epidural and all natural. So major props to Tera. I think she is rethinking this decision.

We brought him home around 1pm on Saturday afternoon, Tera's parents were at the house already, they surprised us, which was very nice.

It was a little rough the first night, he wasn't getting enough to eat, so he was a little fussy, so we supplemented with a little formula and that knocked him out for several hours.

Today the milk is flowing, and he is a happy baby, eating and sleeping, and lots of little baby toots.

here's what everybody is wanting to see, more pics.

More doctors appointments

I'm still going to the doctor weekly however the ultrasounds have stopped. I'm still having the non-stress tests though. There isn't much new information. Everything with the pregnancy is going fine. I'm just having the basic discomforts that go along with being pregnant. They did tell me today that I'm dilated 1 cm so hopefully it will be any day now. I'm still working but hopefully for only a couple more days. Dustin's looking forward to being done with work too.

Update

More doctors appointments - Same info. The amniotic fluid has leveled off. They said it's still on the high side but basically normal. They measured him today and said he weighs 7lbs 10oz. We had to laugh because both Dustin and I were 7lbs 10oz when we were born. The doctor wouldn't say for sure that he would come early but she did say that with all the fluid the pressure may cause him to come sooner then later. The nursery is coming along. I've been doing a lot of laundry and finding a spot for everything. Just waiting for Everett.

Maybe in Everett's world there lives a happy little fish over there

I sorta modified a Quote from Bob Ross for the title, it originally read "Maybe in our world there lives a happy little tree over there".



My Mom, aka Grandma 1, aka Sally was over on 9/15/08 slaving in Everett's room painting "Happy Fish" on the walls to make it appear that he is under water. It looks awesome, and it only took a mere 8 hours to paint. She made the stencils from the "Bubbles" bedding set that we are using in the crib.

I already decided that I was going to tell Everett that he needs to watch out when he enter/leaves his room that the crab is going to pinch him when he is not looking.

Stay Puft Marshmallow baby!

This scan is from 9.17.08. Looking at the scan, you would be looking him right in the face. All I can say is wowza those are some big cheeks. It looks like he is either smiling or sucking on a huge gum ball. Tera also says that during the ultrasound that he appears to have rolls on his arms and legs. Ouchi for Tera!

Other info:

As of 9.10.08 Everett weighed 6lbs. 4oz.

Dr. reports Amnionic Fluid level has decreased to the normal range.

Everything is looking normal.
