2-3 weeks

Daniel had his first doctors appointment yesterday and everything went great. He is going to Vestavia Pediatrics and so far the doctors all seem wonderful. He weighed 8lbs 15 oz so he has gained one pound since birth. This puts him in the 60th percentile for weight and he is in the 65th percentile for length (which i forgot to ask what his actual length was). He is starting to grow so fast and we can already see a lot of changes already. He is able to grasp objects and swat at his toys hanging down on his play gym. He is also a lot more alert and loves to be held and just look around at everything in the room. He seems to be especially interested in lamps and lighting. I will be sure to put up a few pictures from Halloween he has a few different costumes that I can not wait to dress him in. Here are a few pictures from weeks two through three. His Nana came by and visited him during the Auburn game last weekend. The picture of him sleeping in the crib is so funny. He loves to be swaddled but hates for his arms to be tied up so everytime I go into check on him in the crib that is how he sleeps with both hands above his head. Hope you enjoy.

More pics!

He's Here

Daniel Kirkley Hutson Jr graced us with his presence on October 8, 2009, at 10:05 am. Daniel and I went into the hospital Wed. night at 8 to start the induction process. Being induced is typically a two part process where at night they insert a pill to help dilate and in the morning they give you a drip to start contractions. I was given the pill at 11 pm and within the hour started having contractions. At 4 am I was blessed with an epideral after having contractions one minute apart. Daniel was born at 10:05 am after only 45 minutes of pushing. He weighed 7 lbs 15 oz and 20.5 inches long. These pictures are from delivery and the days following. I hope you enjoy!!

Week 40

I have officialy gone past my due date and am now as I say -3 days due. I have a doctors appointment this afternoon to decide wether to go in tonight or tomorrow morning to be induced. So Hopefully tomorrow little Daniel will finally make his arrival. He seems to be pretty comfortable where he is so it may take him a while to decide to come out. At last weeks appointment I was only 1 cm and 60% effaced which made me happy because the last few appointment there has been no change. Here is a picture of me at 40 weeks right before watching the Auburn/Tennessee game. I was hoping that jumping around and cheering would get something jump started but unfortunatly that did not work out. Hopefully next time I post there will be many new pictures of baby Daniel!!!

Week 38

My coworkers at the bank threw me a wonderful shower at Landrys seafood in Birmingham. We had so much fun playing games and trying to guess eachothers baby pictures. This picture is our branch minus Sophia and Jason.
