Lorelei 9 month apt

Today was Lorelei's 9 month apt. She is20lbs 14.5 oz, about 80 percentile and 29 inches long, about 90th percentile for height. She is ahead of the game development wise, already pulling herself up, walking along things, walking with walker, and standing up on her own... She is so proud of herself. She copy cats pretty well, playing peekaboo and clapping and blowing raspberries... One adorable kid! Love ya baby girl, I will upload her pics later!

4 month Apt.

Lorelei is 15lbs 13 oz and 25 3/4 inches long. Head is 16 1/2 inches. Which they said is 50% for height and weight... don't think I have ever had one so small! (its very surprising cause she seems so big to me!)She has taken her shots like a pro... sure hope her brother can do the same next month!

At 2 months she was 12 lbs 13 oz and 24 inches long and head was 15 3/4 inches.

At one month she was 11 lbs.

At two weeks she was 9lbs 6.5 oz and 22 inches.

The baby story...

So on tuesday the 26th about 6 pm, I started having contractions, they were painful enough to notice, but far enough apart that I just kept cleaning/organizing, Tyler got home and I kept asking him what time it was, he had no clue, but that was when I was having contractions, they started a hour apart, then got closer, about half hour apart, About 9ish I told him that I was having contractions, we just kept cleaning, put the boys down and called Jen to warn her that we weren't ready to go in, but it was looking like 3am might be an option. She said let her know if we needed her, about 11, I was still having contractions so i figured i should go to bed before they got too bad. I slept from 11:30 to 4:30 and then woke up with stronger contractions, at that point we started timing them, and they went from 2:30 minutes apart to 8 minutes apart depending on if I was sitting up or laying down... so we kept timing them until about 8 when we went and woke up the boys and got them ready and dropped them off at Jens, They were so excited, Kevin went to preschool like normal and they got to hang out with Jen and Tegan the rest of the day...
Me and Tyler got to the Hospital about 9 and I was dilated to a 5! Wahoo, less than 2 hours later I was at a 7, they broke my water and from that point on the contractions were bad and were right on top of one another, less that 45 minutes later I asked what my pain medicine options were, they told me I was at a 9 and only an intrathecal (sp?) And at the point I knew that the anesthesiologist was never going to make it in time, it was too late. So in no time flat, they were calling the doctor in and I was ready to push. No drugs. Once she was born (after about 15 minutes of pushing) I looked at her and all I could say was "she is huge!" Once they weighed her in the nurse asked the doctor how heavy he thought she was, he said atleast 9, She was 10 lbs! So much for the doctors telling me I was having at 8.5 lb baby. So the hardest part of labor was only 3.5 hours.. so much better than the Cameron that drug out forever .Other than the cramping getting worse with each pregnancy (which I didn't believe was true until this baby) After lots of vomiting on my part from the pain, We are both happy and healthy. She is the most "newborn baby" I have had, neither Kevin or Cameron slept as much as her, and she is happiest when she is laying down, not being held! She is crankiest between 2 and 4 in the morning, but we are working on that. She is eating great and the doctor says her eye development is ahead, (just like the boys was). I am getting used to all the pink, and saying how "pretty" she is instead of "handsome". My Mom and Dad drove in town that day as a surprise and my mom has been here since. We are adjusting well, and they boys adore her, no jealousy yet, and they just can't get enough of her. I keep finding them where she is, with blankets trying to cuddle, always kissing her, and of course Cameron can stop touching her face!
We love her to pieces! And yes, I will post pictures soon!
