Four months
Dexter!!!
Dexter turned four months old on Saturday. He can lift his head at a 90 degree angle. He can coo like crazy. He is reaching for toys, and hold them. He rolls over, and he always rolls to the right, but he loves to play on his tummy. I think his favorite thing right now besides watching TV is talking to his dad, it is so amazing to see him growing and changing so much.
He likes to sleep on his tummy. He still cries every time I lay him down no matter what. But eventually he falls asleep. He is not sleeping through the night mostly he waked two times between 2 and 5 am. On occasion he waked before that. On the other hand he sleeps until 9 or 10 and even if he wakes up early he is ready for a nap shortly after.
He started rice cereal last week and he was ready he had no trouble at all with solids as in swallowing and stuff.the first time we tried it, it was really watery and that didn't work so great. He really wants to crawl but he can't sit up yet so I think it's a little ways away.
He still absolutely loves o be outside. No matter how upset he is when you step outside he stops crying.
At his appointment he was 25 in long, and he weighed 12.1 lbs. He was in the 5% in weight and the 37% in height and 50% in head size, so he's really smart.
I love my little guy and I am so happy to have his cute face in my life. He is amazing!
Baby Dexter
I am only four months behind but here it goes...
Side note I am scheduled for an induction on May 30th at 4:00 am.
The day is May 29th, I am nine months pregnant. 6:00 am. I wake up to go potty. I feel weird like their is a baby down there but further down then normal! Weird! So I hang out and I feel some cramping, so I call the doctor on call. He says wait it and and if you loose water come in. So I time my cramping because after waiting this long I don't believe they could be contractions. They were every three minutes. I watched tv and timed it for an hour and decided it was time!!!
I go down stairs it's now 7:00 am. I'm thinking I've got all the time in the world and the pain isn't bad at all so I go brush me teethe get dressed. I go into the bedroom and a hard contraction hits so I lean against the bed. That wakes Clayton up he says "what's going on?" because I woke him up awhile 10 minutes earlier then he wakes for work at 7:15. So I ever so casually tell him that I think we need to go to the hospital. Well that wakes him up he thinks I'm joking at first then he starts freaking out and he asks me what to wear. I said anything and he was like trying to put on church clothes and then he said doesn't it have to be sanitary. It was so funny.
We got in the car and drove to the hospital. My contractions got worse as we drove. We went to through the hospital to check in and they took us back and I was dilated to a five already so it really was time. They asked if unwanted an epidural which I did but I wanted to think about it and wait to see if I really needed one. Then the nurse gave me some advice and I decided to get one. So they took me to a labor and delivery room. got me all set up and the anesthesiologist came in did he's thing Clayton liked that part. He sat close and asked the doctor a million questions. I was glad I did it when I did because it was easy to sit still before the contractions got to bad and it was a wonderful labor without any pain at all. We were waiting for the doctor to come and break my water when it just did it on its own naturally that was about 10 am. After that we all just hung out and chatted until it got real. Then we planned on starting to push around 2:00 pm but I was dilated enough yet do we pushed it back which was good because the doctor took a break and didn't make it back until 2:30. So around then 2:45 I started pushing. Dexter arrived at 4:16 pm. It was wonderful. Clayton was very tired.
He was so cute and he was so angry. He was 7.9 lb, 21 inches long. What a cutie. They handed him to me and I noticed right away that he had a very cute dimple.
My parents were there and his Dad was their for his lunch break and his mother and sister all hung out with us the whole day. It was a beautiful day!
