Stop, Drop, and……. Finally!

Posted by on February 28, 2013 No comments

He finally did it!!!!
(Well, he actually did it on February 20, but I’m just now posting about it.)
Well, ACTUALLY, he did it a few days earlier than February 20, but this was the first time we caught him on camera.
Theo rolled over!
And from his back to his tummy (which I was told usually came AFTER the other way around).
Still no expert at rolling from his tummy to his back, but we hope that will come soon.

He’s SO much more active and happier and more talkative since his bout with RSV.
And his appetite has come back with a vengeance.
The ladies at the daycare are in constant awe of how much this kid packs away.
He’s our hungry little monkey.

Ash should be posting some new pics and video soon with some exctining info, so be on the lookout.

Four Months! … And the start of… D- D- D- Daycare!!!!!

Theo is four months!!!
(Actually, he is 4.75 months as I am writing this…forgot to do the update.)

He is growing so fast and so big!
His measurements form his four month appointment were:
Head 43.5cm – 93rd percentile
Length 26.5in – 90th percentile
Weight 19lbs 8.8oz – off the chart; over the 100th percentile
We asked the doctor if we should start feeding him food and she said “No”.
He’s doing just fine with mommy being his only supply.

In other news, Ash is back at work now and Theo has started daycare.
(Harder on mommy than on Theo, but both are being very brave.)
He seems very happy at daycare and, most importantly, is worn out at night. He has never slept so well.
We have so much fun on our rides to work and back home. He is really trying to talk. And he definitely has a boys voice. It’s actually kinda deep.

Here are some pics and a video from the past month.
I’ll save the rest for the 5-month update.

Can’t believe it’s already been a month!
He is doing so well.
Already holding his head up.
Starting to sleep at night (a little).
Next comes differential equations and then Mars.
They grow up so fast.

Had our 38 week appointment today.
Dubs is still big, but still content inside Ash.
Doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing him/her anytime soon.

The baby pool is closing today.
SIXTY-EIGHT responses!!!! That is AWESOME!
A rundown of the results.
People are guessing 60/40 split for a boy.
Over half of the responses say Dubs will be between 6.85 an 8.35 lbs.
(Hate to break to all of you, but Dubs weighed in @ 8.19 lbs this morning.)
Two-thirds say Dubs will be tall.
60% also say Dubs will be late.
I hope you are correct on those two (especially the late part).
And it’s a pretty even split on the time of day.
I’d say that’s a pretty good baby pool we have here.

Bonus points……where do the pictures above come from?
If you need help, see below.

We have an appointment on Thursday to make sure they are in correctly.

I didn’t post on Sunday as it was a fast day.
But if I did, it would have probably looked like this….

So hungry…..must eat now……
*snore*
LEAVE ME ALONE!
*snore*
Enticed to eat own foot.
DON’T JUDGE ME!
*snore*

Yeah, something like that. Probably much worse. I’m glad I didn’t.

Ash is off work now.
Good for her….not so good for me.
With no one to talk to on the ride to work….I’ve taken to talk to other cars, not the people in the cars, the cars themselves.
Oh, and I saw the most AWESOME person on the ride to work on Monday. This guy…

That’s right. It’s Mr. T as a little person. His name is Mini T and he’s AWESOME!

16 …(days to go) and pregnant

No real news today.
I guess the news is that there is no news.
I am on full alert, though.

Sorry for the late post.
There were some server issues last night.
We saw two great places last night.
Unfortunately, the better one had a construction issue.
Disappointing, but what are you going to do.

We also got our bags packed for the hospital.
I have to get the car seat in the SUV and then we will be ready to go!

Had our 38 week appointment today.
Dubs is measuring @ 40 weeks.
That’s right, this kid is already bigger than most newborns.
Very exciting (and I’m sure somewhat scary for Ash).

We go see the apartment on Thursday. We may have also found a backup.
Here are the 2 units we are looking at.
Apartment 1
Apartment 2
Hope we can get ONE of these.
