We found out yesterday that the baby is a boy.. He was measuring 20 weeks and 1 day, and weighs 12 oz.

Thanks for sharing your ultrasound pictures, they are so amazing! And congrats on having a boy!

I must have missed Connor's 2 month pictures before, but he is really cute! Isn't it wonderful when they start smiling? How is he doing after his surgery?

[gemini9961]

Thanks Jill! Connor is doing really good after his surgery, it's a complete change in how he was. He is happily eating all of his formula and asking for more at times.

Just wanted to give a quick update- Christopher was born at 12:53 am on Saturday, May 22. He's a BIG boy (was over due) weighing 9 pounds, 12 ounces and measuring 22 inches long.

I'll post his birth story and pictures soon.

Congratulations, and welcome, Christopher! You were born into a good place!

Congratulations! Lots of little boys being born lately, it seems!

Here are some new pictures of Tyler. Tyler is crawling around like crazy and pulling herself up into standing positions (using furniture etc). Her vocabulary has gone wild the last few weeks, she is so so funny. She waves hello and buh-bye. And though she is still nursing, she is eating so many different types of solid foods now. Her favourite food is papaya, and her least favourite is green beans. Her two bottom teeth broke through over the weekend, and my poor baby has not enjoyed the process; But she's dealing with it really well.

I found out that Mike's brother's wife is having a BOY and he is due in October! So exciting. It is their third child, along with two little boys! Oh boy I can't imagine the craziness in their house as they get older!! I am excited.. I feel like a aunt to these boys.

[molucass]

I'm 5 days away from my due date.. Seems the baby is going to be late though.. I haven't dilated any at all.. My next doctors appointment is on the 16th.. My due date.. But if I don't go in to labor by the 22nd I am going to be induced..

Excuse the grossness but here is a picture of my belly taken at 37 weeks, and one taken yesterday.



Any other 2010 mommies to be or new moms have any updates on their little ones?

[Karen]

Hang in there, baby will arrive when the time is right! My friends ended up having to be induced with their first child, when they did an ultrasound 6 days after Michelle's initial due date, the ultrasound tech said, "Well, she looks comfy!" to which Michelle said "That's it, time to induce!"

Eviction notice time!

[BitsyNaceyDog]

Aw! Hang in there! My first baby came a week before his due date, my second came a week after his.

I just realized I never posted Topher's birth story... oops!
I'll give you a quick rundown of the event. My water broke around 1 pm on May 21 and we called my midwife. She came to check me and said I was already a few cm dilated, but my contractions hadn't started yet, so she left and came back later. It wasn't until around 10 pm (9 hours later) that my contractions finally started, but they were pretty mild. A little after 11 pm they started picking up and around 12:15 I started pushing. He was born at 12:52 am on May 22.

A few pictures from May/early June...
just after he was born; after his second bath; and in the Moby Wrap


And a few more from August/September...

Oh, Kari - Topher is soooo fair, his hair is almost white! What a cutie, but you knew that!

[BitsyNaceyDog]

Yeah, Karen, he is really fair. Nathan was/is too. Both boys had very a small amount of white-blonde hair. Nathan's has darkened a little, but it's still pretty light. I bet Topher's hair will do the same.

Here's a recent picture of Nathan. He's being a monkey "ooo ooo aah aah"
