ly eating a piece of cake in ezra s honor i mean he ll get it vicariously right happy 2 months baby boy posted by chelsea at 12 36 am 12 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday september 22 2013 ezra 6 weeks old as of yesterday ezra is 6 weeks old a part of me is getting a little emo thinking about it and while i realize that is pretty pathetic i can t believe that my little newborn is growing and changing so fast watching a 7 lb nugget turn into a nearly 10 lb nugget in a matter of weeks is astounding my dad put it best when he said it s like watching a blob turn into a person not that we ever thought you were a blob ezra everyday my baby is gaining a little more personality and learning more about his surroundings milestones ezra has been holding up his own head since he emerged from the womb but he is getting a little better at controlling his head movements every day he has started responding to james and my voice and sometimes even makes eye contact with us ezra has started to smile and the desire i have to get him to smile at me has pretty much consumed my life my mom voice has gotten out of control but it is a price i am willing to pay to see that gummy open mouthed grin i guess a milestone that i will really not ever forget is the time ezra projectile pooped on me and then proceeded to tinkle all over my pants i guess i am a legit mom now sleep we had heard that newborns sleep somewhere between 16 20 hours a day james and i feel a better representation of ezra s daytime sleep schedule would be between 9 and 15 minutes a day that s not completely right either though some days he ll take a nap or two at a couple hours each and other days he ll take maybe one good nap and a few 20 minute sleep sessions ezra usually wakes up about every 2 3 hours during the night to eat but once he made it to 4 hours best moment it s really hard to pick a best moment but the night we brought ezra home from the hospital was probably my favorite memory of this month it was so fun to see my family go crazy over him and it felt so good to be in our home after being in the hospital entering our house as a family of three was an incredible feeling and we ate kfc that night so worst moment when we took ezra into get his 3 day check up we were told that he had a sacral dimple aka a little hole above his bum hole our doctor had us get an ultrasound of the area to make sure that it wasn t connected to his spine but told us that it was probably benign well when ezra was 9 days old i received a phone call from the doctor s office letting me know that the dimple was connected to his spine and that we would need to go to primary children s medical center to see a specialist in case it was spina bifida seeing as i am the kind of person who instantly thinks of the worst case scenario i assumed that my baby would be crippled for life that morning was pretty rough a few weeks later we had him checked and he is fine eating for awhile i felt like ezra was eating pretty much all day and he was haha nursing is a more than full time job but it is so worth it to me usually it is amazing to know that every ounce he gains is an ounce i give him i put ezra in the first outfit james and i purchased for him today and he looked so cute that james and i just had to snap a few read 100 pictures of him here are some of my favorites since i am a picture obsessed mama here are some more of my favorites from the rest of the time he s been home ezra has very expressive eye brows he makes this grumpy face frequently especially if i am doing something lame like kissing his cheek or talking to someone other than him we think it s pretty funny ezra thought his first bath was pretty weird but now he s got the hang of it and it s his favorite thing in the world minus milk the cutest outfit ezra wears is probably his birthday suit this baby has definitely stolen my heart not that you re reading this but i love you baby boy posted by chelsea at 3 21 pm 10 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday september 8 2013 ezra s birth story throughout my entire pregnancy i was sure my baby would come early my mother had me two weeks prior to my due date and james mom delivered him one week before he was expected naturally i thought baby t would come well before his estimated due date of august 4th when i asked my doctor at my 38 week appointment how much longer he thought i had and he responded i wouldn t be surprised if it was this week i just knew that meant my baby would be coming that night after the appointment james and i rushed home and i began scrubbing my house from top to bottom once the house was suitable for a brand new baby i packed my suitcase took a shower and went to sleep just knowing that i would soon start having contractions and would probably wake up during the night asking james to drive me to the hospital i woke up the next day severely disappointed i was not in pain from contractions in fact i hadn t felt this good physically in weeks for the next two weeks i followed the same bedtime ritual as the night of my 38 week appointment scrub the house re pack the suitcase shower tell james tonight s the night wake up baby less i was a fool to think i could predict baby t s arrival an absolute fool two nights before my 41 week mark of pregnancy i woke up with severe lower back pain it was so bad that i couldn t go back to sleep i noticed that the pain would be really bad for about a minute stop for a few minutes and then come back apparently this is what a contraction feels like i started timing the contractions and discovered that i was having 1 minute contractions every 4 minutes i showered got dressed and woke up james to take me to labor and delivery once we got to labor and delivery they put us in a cold room and hooked me up to a torture device i believe it s formal name is non stress test but i will tell you right now this test had me stressed after a few hours of lying perfectly still while having insane contractions and being periodically checked for dilation i was sent home my body wasn t ready to have the baby i puttered miserably around james parents house from around 7am to 2pm waiting for my contractions to get worse my doctor said to come in later in the day to get re checked but i wanted to wait until i couldn t stand the pain any longer i wanted to make sure that the next time i went into labor and delivery i would walk out with a baby when i went to get re checked pretty much nothing had changed my doctor gave me two options 1 i could go back home and keep laboring there or 2 i could get checked in to the hospital have my water broken and get induced at this point i couldn t possibly imagine going home again and my doctor agreed that given my state of misery it was probably time to speed up the process james and i were elated we were finally going to have this baby james and i got checked into our hospital room and started watching seinfeld to distract me from my labor pains the doctor came in and broke my water which doesn t feel nearly as weird as i thought it would and soon after that they started the pitocin i tip my hat to anyone who has given a natural birth while on pitocin because that stuff is a wench instead of having a 4 minute break between contractions i had a 1 second break maybe it was intense contraction upon intense contraction i have never felt pain like that i don t think i could have even comprehended pain like that without experiencing it not even jerry seinfeld could distract me from this pain and that is saying something i got an epidural about an hour after the pitocin i think the anesthesiologist might have been an angel i felt better after that epidural than i had since my second trimester the pitocin started speeding things up and before i knew it i was at an 8 suddenly fear came over me i was really going to have a baby what if the baby didn t like me what if i didn t know how to be a mother what if i didn t like being a mother would everything be okay every time a nurse came in to check my progress the fear intensified by the time i got to a 10 i was nervous enough to chew my hand off it was time to start pushing i m not sure how long i spent actually pushing but it felt like minutes before i knew it a loud cry filled the room this cry was the sweetest most beautiful sound i had ever heard it wasn t a sad cry or an angry cry it was just waaahhhh as soon as i heard this cry my nervousness immediately wore off i was in love okay maybe the cry was a little angry i had been warned that my baby would potentially look like e t upon arrival and a little alien is exactly what i was expecting while i surely would have loved an alien baby my perfectly human son was a pleasant surprise the nurse put our baby boy on my chest and tears filled my eyes big bright eyes looked up at me like i was the most interesting thing in the world tiny fingers wrapped around my pinky soft pink lips gently opened and closed i was born to raise this child having him in my life was already the greatest gift god had given me and it hadn t even been 5 minutes james and i decided early on in my pregnancy that we didn t want to name our child until we met him we had thought about names and there were names we liked but we didn t want to pick anything until we could see our baby and feel his spirit we tried out a few names while the baby nursed on my chest was this baby a harrison could he be a grant no this baby was definitely an ezra our ezra our little helper our sweet sweet boy i had a few complications after giving birth to ezra so i didn t get to hold him again for a few hours he was sent to sleep in the nursery while i recovered when i woke up the next morning to feed him i fell in love all over and honestly now that he s a nearly month old i ve fallen more in love with him every day since while it has definitely been the hardest month of my life it has also been the most wonderful month of my life i am so grateful for my sweet baby ezra preview of our newborn session by debi rae photography i could go on and on but i will save that for my 1 month post later this week posted by chelsea at 5 17 pm 15 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday april 10 2013 recently i am so behind on documenting my pregnancy that i think my fetus is second hand embarrassed for me i love reading other people s pregnancy posts complete with weekly bump shots but i haven t really felt compelled to take many pictures yet being tall has helped me hide the pregnancy weight pretty well up until about a month ago my bump was non existent these days i look like i just ate a few too many cinnamon rolls over conference weekend it s definitely gotten to the i can t zip up my pants anymore phase but i just find things to be kind of uninteresting in that realm or maybe super interesting if you are now thinking of cinnamon rolls mmmmmm as of saturday i am 23 weeks pregnant 23 weeks i know i m still a lightweight in the pregnancy ring but i feel like i have already learned so much over the past five and a half months for instance i have pretty much learned not to be a psycho key words being pretty much i did happen to have a mini meltdown a few hours ago over wanting a milkshake but not having ice cream i have gone from crying almost everyday about almost everything to crying maybe once or twice a week about something completely random and usually food related in terms of baby i have been able to listen to a sweet little heartbeat using my fetal doppler it s so comforting to hear a steady heartbeat a know that my little love is doing well i have an anterior placenta so while i have felt a few flutters i m not sure if i ve felt a sure kick the doctor said strong kicks are coming soon though when you re not sick and you re not bumpin it s sometimes hard to feel pregnant but i think that feeling is rapidly encroaching and i couldn t be more excited i know the gender of my little canteloupe and i will share that on the blog soon i get asked a lot do you have any names picked out and i always feel kind of stupid saying no but i m really telling the truth james and i have talked about it a good amount but neither of us feel super connected to any particular name right now i keep saying a certain name in my head but i don t want to share it until it s the one which knowing me won t be until after the baby debuts this probably sounds kind of bad but i m not really sure i want advice on names like if i were to tell someone a name i like i would be super bummed out if i got a bad reaction to it ya know i don t want opinions to ruin a name james and i think is perfect but like i said we re not even to that point yet we re calling the baby rumplestilkson so far so we ve got a bit of brainstorming to do still about a month ago i had my last ultrasound i can t believe that the next time i seem my baby we ll be face to face from our first ultra sound to our last ultrasound our baby turned from a dinosaur to rough sketch of an infant i can only imagine the changes that will take place in the next few months the other day i felt a sincere ache to hold my babe it was such a strange feeling and i can t really describe it but my arms just felt like they were missing something i know every mother probably feels this way about her child but i just get the feeling that i m carrying someone very special it makes me tear up just to think about the beautiful life i ll get to bring into this world in 17 weeks maybe less i can honestly say that i love being pregnant i wake up every day feeling like i ve accomplished something great i ve sustained a life sure there are days when i get insecure about my changing body but the reality of this miracle makes any stupid little hardship seem so mild in comparison i feel like i should be doing things to prepare for my little chicken wing but i don t know where to start we just barely moved into a new home so i now know where the nursery is going to be and have a bunch of wonderful things from my amazing sister in law but i know i need to be buying more of these baby essentials any tips on cribs baby swings changing tables baby carriers baby baths and diapers would be super appreciated seriously i don t have a clue i can t think of anything else interesting to write right now and to be completely honest i m sure this is only interesting to maybe my mom but i guess it s high time i write something about this pregnancy because i couldn t be more thankful for it so many more posts i need to write hopefully this week i ll put a dent in it posted by chelsea at 9 52 pm 16 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday february 6 2013 how we told our families like i mentioned in my previous post i found out that i was pregnant on november 26th as we were leaving the doctor s office one of the nurse s said...
