Milk Coma : By Baby Noah

One of the many cute things about Noah is his look after he finishes a bottle or breast feeding. He looks milk drunk, his squishy body gets all soft and just falls like a pile of mush. When he is in this state I can kiss him and squeeze him as much as I want, which I totally take advantage of. :) 

Here is a taste of cuteness of my little obsession ------>

Noah and Scarlette were sleeping together, she loves to snuggle him, MELTS MY HEART! 

Just Because

I have no news, just thought I would share some precious pictures of my little guy just because he makes me happy and I thought he could share the happiness with all of you! 

I gave the little dollface a bath and tried combing his hair down, it only lasted like 2 minutes before it stood straight up again. He is just meant to be a rockstar <3

His hair looks awesome here!

My favorite face, it looks like he's asking to be kissed! 

Brittany's fave face 

He gets kissed all day long !

This was so precious, my hubby and my dog slept like this for so long, it was a snuggle session for sure. 

My sweet sister took Noah and I to my doctor yesterday for a check up on my incision, and Noah was so good! He was awake the whole time which is super rare, and he kept making this face! I think he knows now that it makes me laugh so he does it ALL the time! Noah made plenty of fans at the doctor, everyone always comments on the hair and they say he looks older than 2 weeks old. I just think he is the MOST precious little guy on the planet! I know I am obsessed <3<3<3

In other news, I lost 20 pounds!!! Can you believe it? 20 pounds in 2 weeks, only 20 pounds more to go! I cant wait to fit back into my old clothes, I am sure I can fit the shirts but not all my shirts look good with sweat pants which is all I have been wearing since my incision has been infected. I go back to the doctors tomorrow, hopefully they say that my incision is getting better and I wont have to go back for a month! 

I have been enjoying my time home with my baby so much, I just never want my days to end because it is one say sooner that I have to go back to work. :( Thank God though that I will be able to provide everything for my baby and good health insurance. I am blessed that I can do that and a teachers schedule is perfect. 

I am just happier and more emotional and tired than I have ever been, wouldn't change any part of it for anything in the world. 

The many faces of Baby Noah

This super handsome baby Noah has so many faces it just makes my day. He is so funny and cute and happy! Every day I fall more and more in love with him <3 Here are just some of the funny and cute faces he makes...hope you enjoy as much as I do ! 

This is my pirate face

This is my "what is this??" face

Love Aunt Brittany! 

Happiest days EVER EVER EVER

I cant even begin to say how obsessed in love I am with my little man. I can not stop looking at him, kissing, hugging, snuggling, talking and just being with Noah. He is the sweetest baby I have ever known, and I am not biased! He only cries when he is naked or hungry and even still his cry is so quiet, its like he doesn't want to cry but he doesn't know what else to say.

I have had a little trouble with breast feeding, I love it so much, its awesome bonding time but I had a few days where I was so sore I could just cry every time he latched on. We have been practicing his latch and it has been getting better thankfully, cause this little boy loves the boob!

He always has his hands on his face, like he did in my ultra sound pictures and he is always kicking his legs. Every day that I wake up I am beyond happy to see him in the crib right next to me. I usually wake up like every 20 minutes and check on him, I am a paranoid parent I guess. I just make sure he is breathing and moving around!

Our little family feels so complete, I love seeing my hubby with Noah, they are so in love and it makes me so happy! It is just the cutest thing in the world to see the two people I love so much so in love. My husband has become even more handsome to me! He is so good with the baby, lets me sleep so much at night and he takes care of baby :)

I hope all my days go by very slow so I can spend as much time loving on this boy that I can before I go back to work. Cant someone pay me just for being an awesome mom??

Becoming a Family 7-11-12

Tuesday July 10 I went to  the hospital to get cervadil, which was supposed to begin my induction. I was so excited and nervous to go and start the whole process because I knew that there would be no turning back from that, I would have only one choice and that would be to push him out! I was so happy to have Brittany,my mom and hubby, they kept me calm and optimistic!


                                  

The day I went to be induced at the hospital
                               

The girls were kissing me for the last time as a preggo! :)


                               

I was in my room and relaxing and once they stated the cervadil I started getting contractions. Throughout the night my contractions were getting stronger and I slept for maybe 2 hours with help from some pain meds. Brittany was so cute she was trying to help me feel better but she was also very uncomfortable and tired on the crummy hospital bed. My mom was so sweet, she knew I was in so much pain and she came to be with me at 4am to try to help me and do whatever she could to ease my pain. I was happy that the cervadil was working and starting my labor because usually it doesn't do that to women, so I felt this baby was ready to come out anyways.

After my pictocin began my water broke naturally which was great! I knew it would only be a matter of time before the baby would be there. I was 1 cm dilated and decided to get the epidural because I was already in a lot of pain and I hadn't slept the night before because of the pain so I needed the rest. Once I got the epidural I was able to sleep for a few hours and I was apparently getting contractions every 2 minutes and I couldn't feel them, GREAT! 

I went from 1cm -10 in like 3 hours which is really fast! When it came time I started to push, and pushing was hard hard work! I never realized how hard it would be to push, I knew it would not be easy but GOSH it was HARD! I pushed and pushed for 2 1/2 hours and this baby was so close to being out, the doctor could see his blonde hair! They realized the baby was facing up which is a very difficult position for a first time mom to deliver, especially being such a big baby. After all the time pushing I decided that I wanted a c-section because I was EXHAUSTED! I was in so much pain waiting to go to the operating room, I was 10 cm and getting contractions that I could not push and my epi was wearing off. I literally thought the pain was never going to end. 

I was scared to be operated on but I could not wait to meet my little man, he was so strong and worked so hard to come out, I knew he must have been just as tired as I was and couldn't wait to hold him. When they showed me his face I was instantly in love, I could not believe how blessed I had gotten. He was RIDICULOUSLY adorable and healthy! I was literally like "OMG he is so cute!!!!" I had to go to recovery after which I missed Noah but I needed to sleep so bad, I felt like I was drunk with tiredness. I finally got to see Noah at like 12:30 at night when I got to my hospital room. That was the best night and it has been getting better and better every day. 

Im super in love and super happy being a mom. I couldn't imagine anything better and I am so happy to be doing it with my husband, he surprises me every day with the way he loves our boy. 

Everything is good now, I am feeling good. Not 100% but every day is a little more comfortable, I am happy because I have my little sweet family :)
