Baby boy is 5 weeks old!

Where has the time gone?! My first pregnancy took forever, this one flew by and now already he's 5 weeks and I haven't even posted here! :P - Not that anybody reads it anyhow!

Ryan Matthew aka Little Doodle
Born via c-section
1/30/12
8lbs 5oz
20.5 Inches

I'm down 30-35lbs only gained 8, so doing pretty well, just need to keep working!

Monkey Doodle now 5 and is pre-registered for kindergarten as of two weeks ago! He's doing amazing!

Little Doodle is 5 weeks old and doing wonderful! We have our nights and days mixed up, almost on track. He has no allergies to milk protein like big brother, which is fantastic news! He breastfed for the first 4 weeks, all but nights, but we had a bit of cluster feeding that got too difficult for me, so I'm only down to maybe two or three times a day the rest is formula.

So much happiness for my family! Love them!

32 Weeks!

Just a quick update!

Ryan Matthew is 32wks and 5 days today!  We had an in office growth scan and he was measuring about 4lbs 12oz!   He's going to be a big boy! Looking like my c-section will be on Jan 30th.


Big brother Riley is doing wonderful! He understands where the baby sleeps and what things are for the baby and not for him, he's also talking SOO much more!  We'll get him there!! :D  He can count 1-10 and do his ABC's with no problem now and even sing some songs!  Mostly, we know what he's saying, but others do not. 

27 Weeks and counting!

Well, I guess it's been awhile!   I've been working for the past month and a half or so now, which has been pretty rough, but well worth the extra money in the house!   Baby Ryan is doing well so far, he is 27 weeks and snuggled up safely inside! :)  They have told me either I make big babies, which is probably part of the case or part of my GD, Ryan is already in the 96th percentile!  I'm fully expecting another big baby!

The cloth diaper journey is soooo overwhelming!  I keep seeing this brand or that.  First it was Sunbaby, then Alvas, now Babyland! lol  I just want something cheap that's going to WORK!   I'd also like to get what I need purchased and get it done with.  So we'll see how this works out!
I'm still making the newborn stage, but with him going to be big and all, I'm hoping the size will fit for at least a few weeks!


Riley has been amazing lately!  He's picked up SO many new words!  It's like he's finally taking off and gaining a vocabulary that more than just we can understand!  I'm so very proud of my big boy!!


Couple more weeks to thanksgiving and my goodness the time is just FLYING by this pregnancy!  I haven't gained any weight yet, lets hope I can keep it that way for at least a little while yet! :P

14 Weeks tomorrow!

Where is this time going? It seems like only last week we found out we were having another baby!
I've created a couple cloth diapers so far, but waiting for my snap pliers and some more fabric to do much more.

I had my NT scan on 8/3, which seems to have turned out well. HB was 157, still higher than my son! So Pink dust please!  13wks.

I had to take my 1hr GD test last week, which I had failed, so this tuesday I need to take the 3hr test and see how that goes.  I'm down -2lbs so far, which I guess can't hurt.  Would be nice not to gain too much, but as long as the baby is healthy, I'm good!

Ry has been doing really well, he's upped his vocab quite a bit, we are so proud!!   He's going to make an amazing big brother!

Just wanted to put a tiny update since I hadn't posted anything in awhile. :)
