Evie

Baby Evelyn is here! She is the sweetest little girl. She is not fussy at all and loves to be held. The birth went really well. We went in at 8am for induction. I was at a 3.7 so they started me on the contraction meds. It took a while to get dilated but around 3 or 4 I felt her drop down and it only took 3 pushes to get her out. I didn't tear or anything :) She was 7lbs 7 ounces and 20 inches long. Not small at all! Just right. She has less hair than Andrew did but she looks really similar to him. She never got jaundiced or had any problems. I am feeling great. I didn't get swollen and hardly have any bleeding so I am recovering much quicker this time. Evie is a really good little eater as well. She latched right on and has been eating a lot. She is a good sleeper too and goes about 3-4 hours between feedings. We got to go home today and it has been super nice to be here. Andrew has been pretty good with the baby. He laughs and pokes at her a little and then ignores her so hopefully he can get used to her quickly. He feels so huge compared to her.

Last couple of weeks :)

Daddy and Andrew building in the sand

Andrew loves to chase seagulls! He ran around chasing them for a long time.

Happy 26th birthday!

Went to a gymboree music class. Andrew was more interested in climbing on the instruments, haha

Andrew loves all the baby stuff we are getting out and ready for the baby.

Motorcycle driving at the Children's Museum

Key Biscayne park is really fun. It is full of things he can climb on.

 

 

We let Andrew stay up and watch part of the superbowl with us. He clapped for about 20 minutes straight, it was so funny! He just ran around clapping and spinning in circles while the game was on. He apparently really likes football!

Videos of Andrew laughing at Kitty's on you tube, haha

The past couple of weeks have felt really long. It is hard to wait patiently for the baby to come! I ready to have her already. I am 38 weeks now but haven't had any more contractions. I feel like she will never come. My mom is coming on Tuesday so I am really excited to have her here! Andrew is exhausting me. We have tried every indoor activity I can think of and then we still have to go out a lot. His teeth are just really hurting him right now. I think almost all of them have poked through, he still has a few more so hopefully he gets happier soon. I am going to count his first word as boo. He puts a hat over his face and then when he takes it off he says "boo". It's really cute :) His repertoire of words now includes meow, moo, boo, (kitty, splash, and brush are said but not pronounced very well yet).

Indoor play 2

Andrew likes putting ping pong balls in the can :) They make a nice loud sound

Made our own tool set box for him to hammer on

Andrew likes to put the mail in the box. We do this for about 30 minutes. It's great!

Moved his mattress into the living room for him to jump on :) He sure loves to jump!
