say whhhat 6 weeks old

Where has time gone?!?!

Hixson is already 6 weeks old wow....

I've wanted to do weekly updates on him or even bi weekly updates but It's
hard to even turn on the computer with a new baby.
We are getting used to having a baby and learning more about his routine
soon I'll have our days down. I'm a believer in not having set times for
feeding him or giving him a nap, I let him sleep when he is tired and feed
him when hes hungry.

so since I never updated this about his birth or anything I will be posting
a Birth story (since a few people have asked what I went through to bring our
baby boy into this world) it might not be posted right away because like I
said it's hard to even turn on the laptop...*should be soon anyway*

Its already Christmas time again and I can't believe how fast this year has
went by, I can say for sure it is one of the best years of my life.

At 6 weeks Hixson Wears size 3 Month clothes and size 1 diapers.
He can hold his head up pretty good.
He acts like he has a lot to say.
He is a mommy's boy.
sometimes likes bath time and other time HATES it.
He loves to look at daddy.
He loves lights and TV.
He likes His momaroo *one of the best things we have*
he LOVES to be held.
and he likes tummy time. *for only a little while until he starts to scream*
He doesn't like getting dressed.
He has a few different cries, Spoiled cry also known as the I want
mommy cry, Mad cry and the hungry cry.
 He sleeps pretty good at night around 3-4 hours at a time (Thank the lord, can't
want until he sleeps longer)
he doesn't like going to bed even though he is over tired.
we start bed time around 9 (8:30 if hes taking a bath before bed)
*with a bath*: take a bath,get pj's on, nurse on both sides and cuddle, some times he falls
asleep nursing if he does we lay in bed together if he doesn't fall asleep
he sits with daddy and gets rocked to sleep and then lays down with me.
*without bath* we start by changing his diaper and getting him in pj's,
we sit in the rocking chair and nurse on both sides and he normally doesn't
fall asleep on me so once hes done eating he goes to daddy and they bond.


He over all is a very good baby and we are very lucky to have our rainbow baby

4D ultra sound 31&32 weeks** Where have I been?!?!**--Pregnant after miscarriage--

Hey you there long time no see,

I'm sorry for that, I've really wanted to keep up with this and post photos of my belly every week but I don't know seems like I've just lost track of time and forget to post.

right now I am 36 weeks and 2 days we just got home from our 36 week check up and everything looked good, we had an ultra sound to make sure his head is down *and it is* and I had to give more blood to check platelet levels because mine has been dropping, the doctor says its nothing to worry about but its good that they know for when we deliver.

At 31 weeks Tom and I went to get an 4D ultra sound to see just what he looks like *because yes I hate waiting and want him here already*

Hixson did not want us to see him so he hid his face most of the time. My placenta is in the front so he likes to snuggle his face into it.

We didn't get a good picture of him for the package we got so we had a redo at 32 weeks and he still didn't want to show his face that good so get ready for a bunch of blurry photos.

His Hand.

His face.

his hand

Smile

his hand

  

That was 31 weeks and 4 days now here is when we went back at 32 weeks and 4 days 

chunky face

baby face

mouth open 

boo boo face

hand by his face

hand covering his face

mad face

and that's it.

I also have videos of him but there about 35 mins each and I don't know how to cut it down but i do love watching it. 

That's all for now maybe Ill get a 36 week update up but who knows lol

How big is baby?Your baby's the size of a head of lettuce!

She's still growing in the 13.6- to 14.8-inch and 1.5- to 2.5-pound range, and developing her senses, features and talents!

Baby's body this week:  Your baby's hearing is fully developed. As the baby reacts to sounds, its pulse increases.Your baby will even move in rhythm to music. Lungs are still growing but are not yet mature. Patterns of your baby's brain waves appear like a full-term newborn. He or she also has patterns of sleeping and waking.

Mommy's Body: The baby's constant movements should be reassuring. You'll be putting on weight at the rate of about 1 pound per week now. You may be feeling some rib pain as your baby grows and pushes upward on your rib cage. The pressure may also be causing indigestion and heartburn. You may also feel stitch-like pains down the sides of your abdomen as your uterine muscle stretches
