We're buying diapers!!!!!

We are officially diaper purchasing parents! Not too bad for having a 3 month old. We had so many diapers from showers and gifts we received from family and friends. The shelf in his closet that once held about 20 packs of diapers now holds one lonely pack.

We've also cleaned out all his 0-3 month clothes. He's becoming such a big boy!

Appointment Details

Kevin's check up went good today. He only weighed 12 lbs 14 oz and was 24 1/2 inches. That is 50% for his weight and 70% for his height....way down from last month but we have reflux to blame for that! Normally a baby gains 1/2 to 1 ounce per day - that would mean Kevin should have gained 15-30 oz since his last appointment....he only gained 17 - so he was right at the low end of the scale. She assured us that as he gets used to his medicine and new cereal/formula bottles - he should gain lots of weight before his 4 month check up.

Everything else was good - he is right where he should be in his development. And of course his cute little self got to talk to everyone in the clinic and show off. We went to church tonight and when I picked him up from the nursery every baby was crying...except Kevin! My mom was in nursery tonight and she said Kevin would talk to the babies that were crying. I was shocked that he didn't have a complete melt down being around 9 crying babies but he did great! We're so ready for daycare....well, Kevin is - not sure if mom is ready yet ; )

Delayed Appointment

Our 3 month appointment has been rescheduled to Wednesday at 2:30. Our pediatrician's mom is very ill and she needed to leave the office early today.

I'll post his measurements tomorrow.....

3 months old

I can't believe 3 months ago today we were at the hospital having Kevin! Time has gone by so fast and Kevin is getting so big. He woke up 2 times last night because he has figured out how to role over onto his back....and we all know that this baby refuses to sleep on his back - so he wakes up crying. Of course, he only cries for a few minutes until daddy picks him up and then all is right with the world. Some may call that spoiled - we call it adorable!!!

Our fun weekend

We had a wonderful weekend! We gave Kevin back his 6 oz "night night" and "good morning" bottles and he is loving it and best of all....keeping them both down! He goes in for his 3 month check up tomorrow and I'm sure he's over 13 lbs.

Ben and I went shopping this weekend and loved the wonderful (and unseasonable) weather we had - 70 degrees in February..you can't beat that! We went to church yesterday where Kevin showed off in the nursery what a big boy he can be. I love picking him up and seeing him so happy. He then proceeded to show off his talking and laughing skills to several other people. He was passed around to everyone...and had something to say to each person that held him. He's just so much fun. We also introduced books to Kevin this weekend and we were shocked at his response. He LOVES books : ) He talks to the pictures, kicks his feet and waves his arms everywhere....it's too cute. With his reflux we had to sit him up for 30 minutes after he eats - so now we read to him during those 30 minutes.

I'll post his measurements after his appointment tomorrow. No yucky shots this time...yay!

1 year ago today.....

I found this post from Jan 31st last year. Wow...I am just amazed how much God has blessed our family in just a year. How quickly we forget! And one year later we have a happy and healthy 3 month old that we are completely in love with. He has made our family complete and has brought Ben and I closer together. It is true "having a baby changes everything!"


January 31, 2007

Had our doctor's appointment this morning and we are not pregnant. They are increasing my Clomid to 200mg with the hopes that we can get a good egg(s) on day 13. In the past, it's taken a couple more days to get a mature egg.

Looking ahead to important upcoming dates:

February 12th - Day 13 - pray for a mature 18mm egg!
February 14th - Next IUI if egg is mature
February 23rd - LEAVING FOR SKI TRIP!!!!!!
February 28th - Find out if we're pregnant in Colorado

As always, we'll keep you updated. Thank you for all your prayers.

New pictures and another cute video!

I am pleased to report that Kevin is doing much better. He hardly spits up now and is loving his new bottles with cereal. He has slept throught the night the past 2 nights - yay!!!! Hope this continues. Not too many pictures since he's been sick the past week but now that he's all better - more will follow!

Look at my new chair! I sit up like a big boy
