6 Month Update!

I am a little behind on this since Ryan turned 6 months old on September 12, but he went to the pediatrician last week, and here are his stats:
Weight: 15 lbs 9 oz
Height: 25 1/2 inches
Head circumference: 42 1/2 inches

They didn't tell us the percentiles this time, so I'm not sure what they are.

Ryan is such a joy. He wakes up smiling every morning. He can sit up now and loves playing on the floor with blocks or in his Exersaucer or Jumparoo. He is eating 3 meals a day of solids, in addition to formula. So far he loves all fruits and vegetables and rice cereal! We are working with him on rolling from back to tummy. I don't want to teach him to crawl just yet :) He doesn't sleep through the night yet but wakes up at least 3-4 times. Hopefully once his teeth come through he will sleep a little better!

Ryan Joseph's Birth Story

Here is Ryan's birth story in timeline form: March 12, 2013 12am- Admitted to L&D for scheduled induction at 37w2d 1 am- Cytotec inserted to begin softening the cervix and start contractions 2:30-3am- Contractions became too strong and close together and baby was not handling them well, so the nurses came in to give me a shot of terbutaline to slow them down and oxygen to bring his heart rate back up. Everything ended up fine! 3-6am- Contractions were getting more regular, stronger, and uncomfortable. The nurse encouraged me to get my epidural before the OB came to break my water, and I happily obliged! 6:15am- 3 cm dilated, got epidural 7am- My mom arrived at the hospital and Joey woke up from his sleep on the not-so-comfortable couch bed. I was comfortable and resting (and putting on make-up :)) *At some point in here, the nurse started me on the lowest dose of Pitocin, but when the OB arrived, she told her to stop it because my contractions were regular and s

A letter to "Baby S"

I found this letter that I wrote to Ryan, aka "Baby S," the morning I found out I was pregnant. I can't believe that this: has actually become this sweet little guy: Here is the letter: July 18, 2012 My dear Baby S, What an amazing morning. Right now, this is a secret between just you and me. And your big sister Faith. You had a sister who did not live outside my tummy. She was beautiful and would have loved you so much. You are my rainbow. I had a feeling you were coming soon. Last week, the neighbors across the street took a picture of our house with a rainbow landing right in it. Your Aunt Val also dreamed last week that I got two positive pregnancy tests. I love you so much. I’m scared to death. I just want to sit in the house on our couch for the next 8 months to try to keep you safe. I can’t do that, though. Please know that I love you so very much. Please grow strong and healthy and be born healthy. You are due March 31, 2013. How are we going
