2 weeks old...

It is so hard to believe that our little guy is two weeks old today. Time goes by so fast. I want him to stay sweet and snuggly and tiny forever. My recovery has been good. I felt great the day after my surgery and was up moving around as soon as they told me I could. In fact, I probably over did it because my incision came open and I had to get it restitched Friday. I have to be careful so it doesn’t happen again. The toughest part is that I can’t pick up Morgan. She seems to understand and is okay with it. She does want everyone else to hold her though. Our little boy is doing great. The only curve ball he has thrown us so far is that he hasn’t liked his crib. We have to keep working with him but for now he is sleeping in swing, bouncer or by me. I have heard that little boys need lots of security and are more dependent than little girls. I believe it! He sleeps a lot, gets his diaper changed a lot and is eating good. We went to his doctor on Monday and Graham weighed 7.1 (which means he gained his birth weight back and some). His appt went great. We don’t go back until he is 2 months, which seems like a long time but I know it will come fast. Morgan has been a great helper and the best big sister. Bryan has been awesome at keeping up w/ her. We had forgotten how relaxing it is to have a newborn; it is the 2 year old that keeps us on our toes.

Here are some pics from the last 2 weeks….

It is hard to catch Morgan for a picture these days, she is so busy!!

Graham Bennett Baughman

Graham has arrived!

Wednesday, January 6, 2010
9:05 a.m.
6 lbs. 15 oz.
20 in.

I was scheduled for a c-section on January 11th but Graham had his own plan. I went into labor at 2:00 a.m. on the 6th. We arrived at hospital at 6:00 a.m. and I was 3 cm. dialated. The nurses called my doctor and she arrived at the hospital shortly after. Graham arrived via c-section at 9:05 a.m. He had some fluid in his lungs so they took him to the NICU to monitor his breathing. He was released from NICU and got to visit us in our room around 6:00 pm that evening. It is so great to have him here! We are so blessed. He is absolutely perfect. We are in love yet again with our new bundle of joy.

Here are some pictures.

More to come…

No Tax Break in 2009?!?

Well, unless Graham decides to make his entry into the world in the next 11 1/2 hours we will not be getting a tax break in 2009. I am now 37 1/2 weeks pregnant and went to see my doctor yesterday. She feels that he is going to hold out until the scheduled c-section which is Monday, January 11. Only 11 days away!! I am still thinking that he is going to come early because I have been having frequent contractions, but we will just wait and see! We are praying for a smooth delivery and healthy baby boy, regardless of when he arrives. Hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year!!
