Bath Time

So today was bath time for both of my boys. This morning I gave Baby L a bath, he really needed it. He hasn't gotten one for a long time, we are always busy at night so I gave him one this morning. At the end of the bath I got him out and went to put on his diaper and just started laughing. Baby L always poops in the tub! At least once sometimes twice. This time as I was getting him out I was thinking to myself that I had done the whole bath without him pooping but I didn't want to say anything out loud because I didn't want him to poop at the last second, but he read my mind and he did it anyway. I'm waiting for the day when I don't have to clean poop out of the tub. :) Tonight was fun too, I had CJ take his own clothes off, he just needed a little help getting his shirt off of his head. He is getting so big I can't even believe it. Once I took of his diaper I sent him down the hall to the bathroom. As he was walking he yelled "This is going to be fun, I know it!" I just started laughing. What two year old says that? CJ climbed into the tub and I asked him if he needed to go potty on the big boy potty before we got in the tub, he thought for two seconds then said no, and started laughing. I look down and there he is peeing in the tub! I wish that I could just convince him to go on the big boy potty, he is soooooo ready to be potty trained. He even holds everything in and then lets it all go and then we have a blowout diaper. It gets really frustrating. Hopefully someday soon he will decide he likes going on the potty instead of his diaper. :)

Two week stats

On Nov. 3rd Baby L had his two week apt. I love our doctor because she is so nice and always has a ton of nice things to say. Plus she knows everything! Here are Baby L's stats he is 21 1/4 in long, (he shrank!) and 9lb 5oz. He is in the 90th percentile for both his height and weight. I wonder if he will get really tall like CJ is. Also this week I weighed Baby L again to see how much he weighed a week later and he was exactly 10lb. So since he was born, after he lost his weight, he has gained a pound and a half! That is a lot in just three weeks. We are enjoying having a new baby in the house. CJ is still loving his little brother and can't get enough of him. He always wants to hold him and lay next to him and tell him stories. I can't wait until Baby L is big enough to actually play with CJ a little bit. I hope CJ is still interested in playing with his brother by then.

Introducing Baby L :)

I know it has taken me a long time to do this post but here it is finally!

On Sat. morning the hospital called me at 5:45, they asked me if I could be there at 7:15 to have a baby and I said yes. Yay it was finally time. We were a little late and got there at 7:30. I was all hooked up by 8:00 and then we just had to wait. The worst part of the whole day was getting the stupid IV. The nurse tried twice to put it in and I really felt like I was going to pass out on her. But after she couldn't do it the second time she went and got help. I was glad she didn't try to do it again.
At about 12:00 the nurse came it to check on me and told us it was time to get the doctor. Once everything was set up and the doctor was there I only had to push through 3 1/2 contractions and Baby L was out! It was really really quick, I couldn't believe it.

Baby L was born at 12:40, weighed 9 pounds 2 ounces, and was 22 inches long. Another big boy! Once the baby was born and cleaned up a little bit my mom poked her head in the room and said "Can we come in? We have a very excited big brother out here." The next thing I knew I saw CJ pulling my dad into the room and over to the bed. CJ loves his little brother so much! When we got to the recovery room he sat on the bed with me and held Baby L and wouldn't let anyone else have a turn.

After everyone got to see Baby L, CJ went to the mall with the granparents and got a Build a Bear Owl. He named it Owl Moon and loves it. When they got back Baby L was getting his bath. He didn't like his hair washed, but he didn't cry durring his whole bath like CJ did. Baby L is such a mellow baby. He doesn't really cry unless he is hungry.

I was so suprised at how well Baby L slept. He was such a good baby for the first little while. He would sleep through anything and he slept all day and all night. The only time he would wake up was to eat and then he would go right back to sleep.

CJ was really happy to finally have Mommy and the baby home after two days. All he wanted to do was play with the baby. It is too bad that Baby L can't really play with him yet. CJ loves to do tummy time with Baby L and he like to show Baby L everything he is doing (building blocks or playing with stickers).

We are very happy that Baby L is finally here!
