4 month Checkup

Xander did pretty well at his 4 month appointment. To start off you go to the scale and take off all his clothes and diaper. Then pick him up so they can reset the scale and place him back; weight 15.7lbs. Then the nurse measures his length; 25in, and then the circumference of his head; … [Read more…]

3 months and life

This time last year…I was 3 weeks pregnant. I’ve been amazed everyday with Xander. He will do something I’ve never seen and I hit Steve and say look look. I was so excited when he was playing in his jungle gym (what we can the activity gym) and he grabbed his foot. He hasn’t rolled … [Read more…]

The scariest thing ever, Leaving the hospital

Don’t get me wrong I wanted out, like caged lion out but I was nervous. This is a baby a living human being not like Megabyte who was 6 weeks when we got him and after 3 days I begged Steve to take him back where he came from (which we didn’t). There was no … [Read more…]

CESAREAN time

Steve was told it would be 5 minutes and he would be in with me. I didn’t like that he couldn’t come in with me from the start because I was officially nervous and scared. So they roll me into the operating room. It was nothing like what you see on TV, it felt too … [Read more…]

MARCH 11, 2012- D DAY

I wish I would have written this down while everything was happening but here it is as I remember it. I wasn’t nervous or maybe I was I don’t know Steve would know better. The hospital is less than 15 minutes from our house. We got there on time which was good. We checked in … [Read more…]

Not really sitting and Waiting Hello it was Bike Week!

It was a great thing that it was Bike Week because that meant Anthony would be staying with us which is always a good time and this time he brought a friend (who I must say I thought was going to be a douche base on his crappy Facebook picture) who turned out to be … [Read more…]
