On this day in June ( a mere 3 months ago) it was 3:30am in the morning and you were getting ready to make your debut. Your daddy was so excited. Mom flipped on the light to the bedroom and told him that you were ready. He jumped up and called the hospital immediately! They assured us since you had busted your water balloon house that you would be with us that day!!
Mom took a shower and slowly got ready :) You will appreciate that when you show your husband one day your birthday pictures and your mom doesn't look too much of a hot mess.
Off we went and we got to the Norman Healthplex by 4:30am. Love this place! We were basically the only people there. Mom held off for the epidural for a little while. Why...I have no idea. By 7:30 I wanted it :) Every move you made was pretty bold by this point. Mom got the good stuff. Oh was it nice. No pain. We watched Happy Feet 2 on the flat screen in our room while we waited for you to get situated. By 11am I was super sleepy and feelin' no pain. The nurse told Mom time to push! Dads job was to help hold Mom's leg. He kept putting it down and it would fall off the bed. He did not quit realize Mom had no control.
At 11:50am the doctor came in to help you enter the world! After a few pushes she told us one more and we'd have a baby. You came out and you didn't cry immediately. Mom looked and Dad had backed away from the bed. Where was he going!? He was so nervous until he heard you cry for the first time. We have been in love ever since noon on June 24. Your mom is nuts and always told your dad that I wanted you to be born on an even day. Well congrats little girl you did it. Sunday, June (6) 24, 2012 at 12 o'clock on the dot. You were the only baby they had that day and so you received much attention! You also aced your first test this day. A score of 10 on the APGAR test. My little genius.
We take way too many pictures of you and you are pretty spoiled already. But good news is you can't spoil a new baby...well at least til your 6 months old, then we hear that you will start to "play us". :)
So far you are growing leaps and bounds. You have discovered your hands and recently your fingers. You make these adorable sucking sounds when you put your fingers in your mouth. You have not found your feet yet. Can't wait for that. You rub your eyes when you are sleepy and you squeak when you are happy. You hate dirty diapers and want them changed immediately. You are currently around 11 pounds and you wear a size 1 diaper. You are wearing 0-3 clothing and sometimes Mom puts you in 3-6 months because those clothes are so cute I can't help it. Your favorite thing is your Wubby. You are spoiled to being able to push out your paci and suck it back in and you love holding onto the caterpillar attached to it. You also LOVE your mobi. There are 4 animals on it. A pink zebra we named Ziggy- he is your fav and you follow him with your eyes, 2 monkeys- Lyla and Penelope, and a green elephant name we named Pinkerton.
You have begun sleeping through the night mostly. You sleep in a bouncer next to Mommy and Daddy's bed. We still swaddle you because you throw your arms around still and it wakes you up. After you have your 2am-5am (depending when you wake up) feeding Mom usually puts you in the bed for cuddles. Some how you always manage to get right up in my face and want to have your hands on me. Some people would say it is not smart to put the baby in your bed...well we know that but it's only for a little bit and we love snuggling with you while you are still tiny. You had your first car trips this month. They went pretty well. You have not mastered it but that's okay. Your legs are super strong as are your neck muscles. We are guessing you will walk before you crawl. You pretty much are not a fan of tummy time. We are still working on it.
You love watching television. Football gets your attention the most. Daddy loves that. When you are super cranky we take you outside. The outside air seems to calm you. Mommy dances with you all the time. You love Turnpike Troubadours, Eric Hutchinson's Rock & Roll, Eel's Hey Man, and Old Crow Medicine Show- Wagon Wheel. We will have to switch over to baby songs when you can start to repeat words ;) Usually 3 songs puts you out. Every night around 7:30 you get a bath. You have started kicking and splashing around in the water. It's so much fun to watch you learn and experience new things. Can't get enough of it. You get a baby massage with coconut cooking oil afterwards. It's organic and you can eat it so you love eating your hands afterwards. You heart your baby massage. Daddy usually sits in their with us and watches you because you are so vocal and in such a good mood. At 8pm you get a bottle and usually you are out by 8:30 or 9.
Those are just a few of your favorite things :)
LOVE Your Momma
