3 weeks old

Andrew was 3 weeks old on Monday.  I can't believe how fast he is growing.  He had his first doctor's appointment last week and weighed in at 8 lbs 4 oz, so we have gained a full pound back from birth weight.  I think he is going to be long and lean like his Daddy, and we have nicknamed him our hungry hippo because he is ALWAYS hungry and ready to eat! 

He is pretty much on a 2 1/2 hour eat/wake/sleep routine during the day, and sometimes will let us sleep 3-4 hours in a row at night.  Hopefully those stretches will be longer as he gets older!!! I will leave you with a few pictures of our little man. 

Taking a little nap.  Those legs are certainly not from the Dempsey side!

Happy one minute....

Mad the next!





Two Weeks Old

Our little man will be 2 weeks old tomorrow.  We are still getting into the swing of things, learning to live without as much sleep as we had before, and figuring out a schedule for our guy.  Here are a few photos from the past 2 weeks.

My favorite place to nap

I was born with a rat tail.  Mom and Dad think it is pretty awesome!





It's a BOY!

Andrew Glenn Owen made his appearance into this world on June 6th, 2011.  My water broke at about 11:30 on  Monday afternoon, and he was born at 5:37pm.  Things moved quickly to say the least!  We are all doing well and adjusting to life as a family of 3 plus dog.  More updates to follow!

Still here and waiting.....

I wish I could say I was waiting patiently, but that would be a lie!  At our appointment on Thursday everything still looked good.  BP was good, urine was good, baby's heartbeat was good, and he/she seems quite content in my belly.  

I am now 2 1/2 cm dilated and 90% effaced, but I have yet to have any real timeable contractions.  I asked Dr. T about inducing on Friday (the next day) but essentially there are quite a few ladies having babies in June and the inductions are piling up.  Long story short, the first available date I could get in to be induced is Thursday June 9th!  That will put me at 41 weeks and 1 day!

So, it is a waiting game at this point.  We will either have the baby sooner as a result of me going into labor on my own, or it will happen on Thursday with a scheduled induction.  Either way, I AM READY!  I pretty much see every hour on the hour at night due to bathroom trips, but I suppose that is something I should get used to for the future. 

Hopefully by our next post we will have a BABY!
