Two Weeks Already!!!

Time sure does fly by! Xander is two weeks old! We have our first doctors appointment tomorrow so we will get to see how well he is growing. He is doing well, sleeping between 3 and 4 hours in a row at night and being very alert during his few waking hours during the day. He is becoming more vocal and making lots of funny sounds! He loves getting a bath and enjoys relaxing in the water. He also loves to cuddle and normally falls asleep and snuggles close when we hold him.

One Week Old!!!

So hard to believe that a week has gone by already. We are loving every minute of having Xander home with us and watching him grow!!!

First Few Days at Home...

Our first few days at home were pretty uneventful!

Alixander is enjoying himself sleeping and eating :)

He weighs 7lbs 11oz ( was 7lbs 7oz when we left the hospital)

The dogs love him and are very happy with him home.

They follow him everywhere!!

We took our first trip out today and Xander had fun

sleeping through the whole thing ;)

Tomorrow we are going to try a bath...should be interesting!

One Day Old

One day old!!!

Better Late Than Never....

Alixander has arrived!!! (1hour old)

Oct 11, 2008 at 5:36 p.m He weighed 7lbs 15oz He is 21.5 inches long.

He is absolutely perfect and we think he is the cutest baby in the world!!!

Thank you so much for all of your support and thoughts and we
are so excited that Alixander is blessed with such great friends and
family!

Doctor Appointment and Update...

We went to see the midwife today for our weekly appointment; we are 4 days overdue. She said that things are progressing but kind of slowly so far. We are hoping that by walking and with a few more days Xander will help the process along but not sure how long it will take. They've decided that if he is not here by Monday we will start the induction process.

They have a few methods we are going to try to try and start labor without drugs so if we have to go that route hopefully they work. May not be comfortable but we want to avoid drugs if at all possible. If that doesn't work the drugs are the only option besides a c-section. Please keep us in your thoughts and hopefully it all works out well. We are still hoping that baby will decide to come on his own.

We will keep everyone informed as we know more... In any event, we will have our baby here by Tuesday!!!

40 weeks...

Baby Alixander
is not here yet.
Unfortunately he
takes after
mommy's affinity
for being late!

They are expecting
him to weigh
just over 7lbs but
be very long!

We are (impatiently)
waiting for him to
decide when he would
like his birthday to be.

Everything is ready for
his arrival!
