dj ludlow land skip to main skip to sidebar dj ludlow land monday february 13 2012 what can happen in a year and 3 months yes it s been that long since i ve posted anything on our blog rather than bore you with excuses of why my re entry into the blogosphere has taken so long i ll just jump right in to our adventures since 2 novembers ago here are some of the happenings in the ludlow household caleb has grown from a two year old with squishy cheeks who wore diapers and told long stories very few people could understand to a three year old with less squishy cheeks who wears underwear and on occasion headlamps and bow ties and tells long stories that more people can understand levi went from a tiny baby who screamed most of the time to a one year old who loves to wrestle play in the rain and climb into the oven drawer more to come posted by j lo at 2 51 pm 1 comment tuesday november 2 2010 happy halloween our halloween festivities began on friday night with the brilliant idea to have a family date night carving a pumpkin caleb s interest lasted approximately 2 minutes after which time he decided the pumpkin guts were yucky and he refused to touch the pumpkin at all he did however realize that when mommy and daddy s hands were covered in pumpkin guts that was a great time to destroy everything within reach oh well better luck next year unlike previous halloweens can that be plural i was not feeling up for putting together a family ensemble as such caleb was the only one who had the privilege of dressing up for the church party he was a doctor complete with scrubs thanks aunt tiffany a surgical mask and the following accessories which he refused to wear surgical hat stethoscope rubber gloves here he is before the party i captured the 2 5 seconds where he did wear the hat i took this video right before the church party z on the day of halloween caleb wore this winnie the pooh bee costume that we borrowed from a neighbor and absolutely loved it here he is next to the finished pumpkin which he had no interest in carving here are the cute neighbor kids who let us borrow the costume caleb loves them those sour patch kids really make you pucker getting ready to ring doorbells our little busy bee here is pooh with the fruits of his labor he caught on to the concept of walking from house to house and saying tic teet to get candy but also thought you had to walk inside each house david spent the better part of the evening wrangling pooh out of the neighbors houses the boys in their halloween pjs thanks grandma ludlow here s a better look at levi s monster pjs very fitting posted by j lo at 7 33 am 7 comments thursday october 7 2010 lev s birth story in an effort to be more punctual with levi s birth story than i was with caleb s which took me a year to post i will now share the story of how levi made his earthly debut 10 5 2010 tuesday despite feeling great with child i decided to tackle the nesting project of setting up the bassinet in my closet don t judge wrongfully it s a rather large closet caleb assisted me by testing out the stability of the finished product and gave it his stamp of approval other nesting projects included packing a bag for caleb and creating a detailed spreadsheet of his eating and napping needs preferences in the off chance that i were to go into labor before my mom could be there at this point i was 3 weeks away from my due date so all of this seemed a bit premature boy am i glad i did them though because 10 6 2010 wednesday 12 30am i woke up after one hour of sleep to find that my water had broken a conclusion i came to only after ruling out the possibility of having wet the bed phew i then paced back and forth in the bathroom for 15 minutes talking to myself the dialogue went something like did my water really just break it sure did that s impossible i m three weeks away from my due date well maybe i should start packing a bag for the hospital a nesting task that had not been completed now where did i put that nipple cream this self talk continued until another gush of fluid came at which point i realized it was time to wake my sleeping husband david david i whispered huh came his drowsy reply my water broke and we need to go to the hospital i said what are you serious how is that possible out of bed he leaped and the next 30 minutes are a bit of a blur i do recall that we were both running around the house like crazy people david was on car seat duty caleb s out of the car baby s in the car i was still looking for the nipple cream and packing my bag while putting the infant seat in the car i heard david yell we don t even have a name for this baby yet so he grabbed the baby names book for us to discuss this most relevant issue on our drive to the hospital i called our friend talana who drove me to the hospital when my water broke with caleb and she willingly agreed to sleep at the house until caleb woke up a huge help 1 30am talana arrived at our house i debriefed her on caleb s needs and gave her my intricately designed spreadsheet we got in the car and headed to the luxurious state funded lsu hospital while talking about what to name our second born son here we are just before leaving the house 2 00am we were settled in the labor and delivery triage room and the 2nd year resident came in to do an exam in the midst of it he said you seem tense to which i replied well it s not exactly comfortable he responded yeah i m grateful everyday that i don t have a vagina the he looked at david while doing the exam mind you and said high 5 for no vagina his attempt at humor was extremely ill timed and poorly received so i made it very clear that his hands would be nowhere near my body ever again 3 00am i was hooked up to the monitors but still hadn t had any contractions so was feeling pretty good dilated 1cm 3 15am with my water broken and the clock ticking they needed to induce labor so in went the catheter and contractions started immediately i told the nurse that i absolutely wanted an epidural and did not want to feel contractions for hours like i had with caleb she put the iv in and had the anesthesiologist alerted during the next hour i endured severe discomfort as the contractions intensified but kept telling myself soon i will have the epidural and can take a nap like i did before caleb was born the hope of impending relief was enough to get me through dilated 3 cm 4 30am the epidural was positioned and my feet went numb but nothing else um this isn t really helping i said to the anesthesiologist he suggested i lay flat on my back to see if the numbing effect will reach the desired area that lasted for 1 2 of a contraction and then i yelled i can t lay flat on my back when i m in this much pain now i was starting to get concerned that the much anticipated relief and nap were slipping through my fingers speaking of fingers i just about crushed david s as each contraction reached its peak at one point he said i do need to be able to operate with these hands you know i think my response was something like well cry me a river buddy bad timing 5 00 7 00am despite trying to lay in different positions and being given repeated boluses of medication my feet and lower legs were the only parts of my body not in extreme pain the emesis bag became my best friend and i had really lost my aloha spirit david provided encouraging words you can do this and i yelled i don t want to do this make it stop hurting 7 15am david insisted the anesthesiologist reposition the epidural and i reached my low point hunched forward and having to hold completely still while the needle was placed 2 vertebrae higher all the while vomiting having intense contractions and feeling completely exhausted 7 30am i was finally starting to feel some relief from the pain when it occurred to us that no one had checked me for about 4 hours when the resident came in she said oh boy you re completely dilated and ready to deliver 7 45am my doctor arrived and had me moved into the delivery room the pain was completely gone as well as all sensation and motor control a small price to pay so it was all about getting our beautiful baby boy in our arms 8 13am levi costley ludlow was born after just a few pushes here s the obligatory paternal cord cutting with our newest addition little 6 pound 2 ounce levi levi and i got a visit from several of the ent residents later that afternoon what a treat we did some rearranging of beds in our recovery room for a bit more togetherness getting ready to head home levi s first car ride off to pick up big brother caleb and then grandma costley at the airport yipee here is caleb with our good friends the richardsons meagan picked caleb up the morning of levi s delivery and took such great care of him for the two days we were in the hospital we ll never be able to thank them enough and that s the story of how our family of three became a family of four posted by j lo at 3 02 am 9 comments wednesday october 6 2010 now presenting the newest addition to our family ladies and gentlemen put your hands together for levi this 6 pound 2 ounce 18 inch bundle of joy decided to go from his comfy womb residence here to the great big world here a few weeks earlier than anticipated but all are doing well thanks to amazing friends who answered their phones 1am more details are to come but for now just know that we love this little boy as much as we love his older brother and that s saying a lot posted by j lo at 7 41 pm 23 comments thursday september 9 2010 take me out to the ball game we ventured to dallas a couple weekends ago to meet up with my brother cory s family and my dad grandpa had the great idea to go to a texas rangers baseball game and the kids were in heaven here s grandpa with 4 of his grandkids plus my cousin s little cutie brock our latest family portrait if you enlarge this photo you ll see that caleb has a fist full of m ms and chocolate smeared all over his lips my conservative estimate is that caleb consumed in excess of 200 m ms during the game every time we turned around he had another cup of those things occasionally he would take a break from m ms and munch on some very nutritious oreos at least he was willing to share those by the end of the night he had food coloring all over his shirt and was soaking wet from ginger ale hence the bare chest and yet the m m consumption continued who are his parents anyway daddy and caleb outside rangers stadium it was a great weekend in dallas we sure love our costley
