Bad Dream

Owen had a bad dream today and was sobbing in his sleep. He quieted a Little when i picked him up but he still took a while to wake up. It was so sad, my heart was being tugged hard. :(

Today, Owen had another check-up to make sure that he is gaining weight (at his 2 week appt he wasn't quite up to his birth weight). He is! He's now up to 8lb 4oz and is looking good! I had the dr check his circumcision (which my dr did a week ago friday, hard but we got through it. neither of us cried very much adn he's been doing great) and she said it was looking good and healing nicely. I got her to write him a prescription for Reglan to calm his reflux down and he got a shot as well. Poor guy! he cried more with the shot than the circ.! the girl who gave him the shot didnt apply enough pressure afterwards so when I got home I noticed blood stains on his pants and the bandaide was soaked. Then, after eating, a diaper change and a quick nap, we went to fill his perscription and bake bread at my inlaws' house. When we got there I felt mostness through his pants and looked down to realize he had exploded through his diaper, down the leg of his pants, on his shoe, on the blanket and my hand and shirt! Yikes!! I took him in, Stripped him down, used my last 1 1/2 wipes to clean him up and put our clothes in the wash. Luckily I had a jacket and an extra blanket I could wrap him up in. I also realized, after I got there, that I had forgotten my flour I had just ground at my house... no bread baking today. Good thing they have a TV with last week's shows recorded. Oh, well, this was an adventurous day. Oh, btw, anyone know a trick to get baby poop stains out of clothes?

After a short 10 hours and one hour pushing without an epideral, Owen Joseph Leazenby was born via Cesarean Section on March 21, 2010 at 4:22 pm and was 7 pounds 10 ounces, 19 inches. Both mom and baby are doing very well. We couldn't be prouder parents of such a perfect, beautiful little boy. Thank you mom, Becca and Josh for the love, care and support during and after labor; and thank you to the hospital staff and Dr. Park for your care and skill; and Thank you to all my family who took time out of their lives to care for me, Owen and the house during our first few weeks. I love you!
