Sleep

Last night Owen slept for 6 and a half hours in a row! I fed him and he is sleeping again. Now the only problem is that I'm not sleeping. At least I get stay in bed.

2 Months Old

Owen is 2 months old today!

• He still gets the hiccups all the time but most of the time it doesn't make mad.
• He has grown out of most of his new born clothes.
• He rarely cries when we change his diaper.
• He likes being in only his diaper which is now a size 1. They are a little big but new born are too small. I think they need a half size.
• He like tummy time much more than he used to. He also is trying to roll when he is on tummy.
• He really likes to look at the Christmas tree lights and fans when he is on his back. He also scoots in a circle when he is on his back because he moves and kicks his legs.
• He coos and smiles a lot. It is so cute and he is not a quiet baby. Its fun to talk and make faces at him. He is so responsive.
• He likes to sit on Andrew's lap and watch football, basketball or sports center. 
• He is sleeping in bigger chunks of time during the night which is nice for my sleeping as well.

Blessing Day

The Sunday after Thanksgiving Owen was blessed in Nevada. It was a very nice blessing and Owen slept through the whole thing. After sacrament meeting we went back to my parents house and had a brunch with all of the family.

Meeting the family

It was so nice having all the visitors. My mom came up for 10 days right when Owen was born and helped out with everything. It was much appreciated. It helped my not feel so overwhelmed with all of the changes. My dad was able to come up for the weekend and meet Owen. My grandparents and great grandma came up for an afternoon.

Sorry to all of the family we did not get pictures with!

1 Month Old

Owen is now 1 month old!

• He gets the hiccups all the time, before I feed him, after I feed him and in between. He still doesn't like them.
• He is finally filling out his new born clothes but most of them still have plenty of room for him to grow.
• He really likes bath time, and cries when its over. I think it's more because he is cold then the bath actually being over.
• When we change his diaper he doesn't cry or pee all over as often. When he does pee it goes much farther than it used to.
• He likes tummy time for about 5 seconds and then doesn't like it.
• He makes funny faces while he is sleeping and while he poops, which is pretty darn cute.
• Most nights, he sleeps well. Waking up to eat and get his diaper changed and falling back asleep quickly. 

Family Photo Shoot

While my mom was here helping out, she also took some really good pictures. Isn't Owen just the cutest?!?

Visitors and 5 Generations

We had a lot of visitors and it was fun to see everyone's reaction to baby Owen. Thanks to everyone that stopped by, brought gifts and/or food.

My grandparents and great grandma came and visited. It was cool to capture the moment with all of us together.

Jaundice

Poor Owen had jaundice for about the first week of life. He had to wear a biliblanket on his skin from Saturday to Wednesday. It was nice that he got to be home and not in the hospital but it was a little annoying that the machine had to be plugged in so it was harder to move him because of the cord. We also had to go the the hospital every day for the first 10 days so they could check his bilirubin levels in his blood. They would prick his heel and fill up a tube. By the end of doing this we knew if the phlebotomist was a good one and would be quick or a slow one that would make his cry even more.

Andrew said he looked like a little glow worm and that was a pretty good description. He liked the biliblanket because it was warm. 

His levels are now normal but his eyes are still a little yellow. That's normal and should go away within the next week.

2 Day Old Appointment

Owen now weighs 6 lbs 13 oz

Introducing Owen Andrew B

Andrew and I are so happy to announce the arrival of Owen Andrew B. 

Tuesday, October 7, 2014 6:06 pm

7 lbs 6 oz

19 inches

We stayed at the hospital 24 hours after he was born. We couldn't leave until he had pooped and peed. At 4 he still hadn't peed and we were afraid that we would have to stay longer but luckily he peed a little before  5 and so we were good to go at the 24 hour mark.

Coming home!

39 Down 1 To Go

Well, its here, week 39. We are anxiously waiting for the baby Owen's arrival. I hate not knowing when he will come. I'm trying to keep myself busy so I don't think about it or realize how uncomfortable I am.
I feel huge but everyone I talk to mentions how small I am so I'm glad no one else thinks I'm a cow or at least they don't tell me I do. I also don't think I waddle so that's good; or maybe that means I have to wait longer. Who knows!

Hopefully he comes soon because we can't wait to meet him!

35 Weeks

I can't believe that I'm 35 weeks along. It's getting so close until meeting our little guy!

According to whattoexpect.com, Owen is the size of a large cantelope. He weighs anywhere from 5 to 6 pounds and is 19 to 22 inches long.

Movement? He is a little mover and I can feel him especially when I lay down
Food Cravings? Not really
Anything making you sick? Nope
Belly Button in or out? It is definitely an outie these day, which is so strange and stands out on my shirts.
Wedding ring on or off? It is still on
Stretch marks? Some but not too bad
Swollen feet/legs? Not yet
Sleep? Some days are better than others
Restless legs? Not normally
Heartburn? Only once
Bathroom breaks? Most of the time only once during the night

Alphabet Wall

At my baby shower, my mom had everyone paint a letter for the nursery. She used the colors that matched the nursery and then people could do whatever they wanted. Some got more creative than others but I love how it turned out and put all the letters right above the crib to make an alphabet wall. I think it is cute but maybe that's just the teacher in me, creating a print and letter rich environment. 

Thank you to everyone that added their personal touch!
