Little Dylan is getting big! He is already 6 mths old! Here's some fun things about Dylan so far:
-he loves to bounce! In your arms, on the floor and in his bouncer!
-he has tried almost all of the Gerber first foods and has been eager to eat them all!
-he weighs 15 lbs 1 oz
-he was unable to be properly measured cause of his wiggle worm qualities, but we are guessing between 27 and 28 inches!
-the doctor said he's healthy and a tall and skinny baby. She predicted he's going to be.a beanpole
-he rolls over constantly! He loves it and is really getting good at it!
These first 6 mths have flown, but I've enjoyed everything. I can't wait to see what's in store next!

Back to Work
I'm traveling back to Louisiana tomorrow with Tim and D to go to work on Friday. Sooooo exciting, huh? My thoughts exactly. I really need to start looking for a job that's more stable and permenant. And I'm hoping when Tim finds one ill have an approximate salary to shoot for. My I really hope this is attainable for us! I'm praying it is and it happens just like its supposed to!
My little man has a Dr appt tomorrow. His 6 mth wellness check! I can't believe he's so big already! I thought I'd take the time to update you on some of his progress so far. At his 4 mth check up he was 13 lbs 3oz and 26 and a quarter inches long. Long skinny baby, just like his daddy! He can roll over like a pro and does so back and forth everytime you put him on the floor. He loves to play with toys and LOVES bath time! He's fairly laid back, with bouncing and rolling being his activities of choice. He has eaten everything we have given him with gusto and seems to like it all! I can hardly wait to give him the finger foods to see how he does on his own!

Dylan Has Arrived!
Me before the whole thing started :)
I went in for my scheduled induction on Sunday evening, September 27th. They started me on some kind of pill that was supposed to soften my cervix, and start some contractions. They also gave me an ambien for sleeping, which turned out to not be the best idea ever. I was so sleepy, and my blood pressure was a concern so I got confined to the bed which makes labor pains harder to bear I'm told. At about 7am they started the pitossin and at about 9am the doctor broke my water. That's when the real pains of lab or began. I was still having a problem staying awake because of the ambien, and being jolted awake by contractions. I was probably not pleasant, props for Tim for sticking it out and being wonderful.
At about 10am I got an epidural, for a couple of reasons. 1st cause the pains of labor while you are half asleep are just hard to undertake, 2nd I was really afraid of having to have an emergency c-section because of my bloodpressure and have to be put to sleep which scares me more than anything. Anyhow, shortly after that there was a scare cause Dylan's heart rate would drop everytime I contracted, so the doctor came in to float the umbilical cord. She was surprised, as was everyone else, that I was much further dialated than anticipated. I was 7cm at this point, just a few hours after my water was broken. The doctor came back about an hour and a half later, and then there were 3 pushes and Dylan Joseph came into the world! He was 6lbs 13oz, 20 inches long born on Sept 28, 2009 at 12:29pm.
Here he is!
