BREAST FEEDING

Loss Of 13 Ounces

Loss Of 13 Ounces
Something that can scare any parent, going to the pediatrician and finding out your son has loss 13 ounces! 4 days after the birth we went to our first pediatric visit and found out this news. The doctor explained that this was like one of us losing 30 lbs in that timeframe. We were told to come back the next day for another weigh-in and that if he did not gain any weight our son would go to the hospital. So we started using a supplement as the doctor suggested after breast feeding to ensure our baby would get enough to eat. The next day was very trying for us as we were both te...

GIVING BIRTH

My Son Is Here

My Son Is Here
Well once again this will be from a father's prospective, so keep that in mind when reading this post on my sons birth. My wife woke me up around 430 on the 16th of June 2007 and said I'm having contractions so you might want to get up. A little tired I had to laugh at how calm she was but how timid and soft her voice was. So I asked if we needed to go or if I could shower. She said she was comfortable enough and felt we should wait till the contractions were more consistant. So we got ready for the day had breakfast and she then took a nap. Their wasn't too much need of panic ...

PREGNANCY DOCTOR VISITS

Three Inches Dilated

Three Inches Dilated
My wife and I went to the doctor last Wednesday the 30th of May, 2007 and the doctor asked if my wife had felt any contractions. The doctor was surprised that she hadn't since she was already 3 inches dilated. We aren't due till the 24th of June but the doctor expects that we could be a Mom and dad by the end of this week. So now panic sets in and I call my Mom and she calls her Mom to give them an update and to make arrangements for them to come visit at our house. My Mom made sure to remind me that “your life will never be the same when you become parents”.

TRAINING WHEELS

No Training Wheels And A Ditch!

No Training Wheels And A Ditch!
As a child my parents had my older brother help me to learn how to ride a bike without training wheels. My brother is about 4 years older than I am. So just up our street was a small hill, of course at my age this was everything but a “small hill”.
So with my Mom and dad watching from the kitchen window my brother began training. Off came my training wheels. So it started by trying to push me enough to get my momentum going, but that didn't work, down I fell. So the hill up the street provided an excellent way to get going right? Of course it did! But I sh...

PREGNANCY ANXIETY

Only 6 More Weeks!

Only 6 More Weeks!
A regular checkup with our doctor and things are going well. I ask my wife if she's starting to get nervous and she says no. I'm glad for her, however, with only 6 weeks left till she's due and the fact that the doctors hoping for the baby to come a couple weeks early I'm beginning to feel a little nervous or anxious or both I'm not sure. So even though I put in my two weeks a couple months ago to get everything ready around the house, I have continued to stay on and work just a couple of days a week to help train the new manager. But today with me getting nervous and all I finally w...
