Week 2

Well we made it through the first week! Wesson is perfect! He eats every 3 hours during the day and once in the night. I don't want to jinx myself, but he is such a good baby. We went to the doctor today and things are going well. In one week he gained 9 ounces, grew 3/4 of an inch longer, and his head got bigger too! Very impressive. His expressions crack us up, especially after he toots! He thinks it is so funny to mess up a fresh, clean diaper - even if he just went! On to the pictures...

His Granddaddy and Mimi brought him this monkey this weekend so we decided to use it for his growth pictures.

Wesson likes to through a little fit mid-evening so he and Mama cuddle in the recliner with the cable-knit blanket and a soft pillow. This is the aftermath...
Our big boy is holding his head up a lot so put him on his Boppy to grab a picture.

Wesson Is Here!!!!!

Cancer will be cured soon... Wesson Lee Parker is here to save the world. We went to the hospital Thursday night to be induced (darned BP), had a good night sleep then woke up Friday to crank up the drip. I was a 5 by noon and ready for the drugs. By the time we were getting the goods, I was really hurting and the doc wanted to check me when she saw the situation and GET THIS..... I was a 10, just an hour or so after I was a 5!!! I barely got the epidural... Ahhhhh! Probably would have missed it if the doc had gotten there any sooner. So while I reaped the rewards of the epidural, everyone prepped to have a baby and he arrived at 1:52pm!!!

Anyways... Wesson weighed 6 lbs 2 oz and is 18.5 inches long. He looks like his Daddy and not a thing like me. He is precious and we're going to keep him!!! I can't wait to show off all his firsts to you all!!!

38 weeks 4 days

Yep, still pregnant! My blood pressure is still high, not getting higher, just a little out of the doc's comfort zone. We go back Wednesday to see the results from several tests we did Friday and to see if any of them dictate where we go from here. We'll keep you updated!!!

Not Much To Say

Its been a while since I've updated you on Wesson. We are just hanging out these days. He is trying to "see the light" but we're not quite there. We're checking my blood pressure everyday to make sure everything is still going well. We go to the doctor tomorrow for an official blood pressure check. We'll assess from there. I know one thing... we are having a baby very soon no matter what!!! Yah!!!

Another Project

Well, everyone needs one more major project before a baby's arrival, right??? We are so thankful for our gorgeous new deck. Lee and Dad worked so hard on re-planking the floor and putting up new rails so that Wesson has a smooth surface to play on.

And just when I thought that looked hard... holy cow! Mama, Dad, Lee (and me for one day) stained the deck this weekend. It took two full days of painting to cover everything. But ITS GORGEOUS!!! HUGE THANKS TO THE FAM FOR ALL THE HARD WORK!!
