Big Week!

10 weeks was a big week for Easton (and the parents)!  He slept through the night for the first time ever!!  But of course Jake and I woke up to check on him a couple of times anyways ;)   He also rolled over for the first time but Jake and I BOTH MISSED IT!  I couldn't believe it!  He was doing tummy time and I looked up to see if there was a burp rag on the couch and when I looked back at him a second later he was on his back!!  He's getting to be such a big boy -- so excited for all the fun we're going to have with him as he keeps getting bigger!

Oh and Mandy also introduced me to garage sales in the rich neighborhoods of Stillwater last week ... lets just say his wardrobe practically doubled!  :)

                                                           

2 months old!

Easton is 2 months old (yesterday!)  Wow, where does the time go?  He had his 2 month check up yesterday - wish someone would have warned me how terrible the 2 month shots are!  I felt soooo bad.  It was the first time I've seen him cry with tears...my heart was breaking!  His doctor said he is doing great and couldn't believe how active he is.  She said he's as active as a 6 month old...not a 2 month old!  He now weighs 12 lbs 6 oz which puts him in the 70th percentile and about 23 inches long which is about 30th percentile and his head is in the 90th percentile!  Someday it'll all balance out :-) 


We had a little scare about 2 weeks ago.  During tummy time I noticed a spot on the back of his head sticking out and I felt it and it was like a big fluid bubble.  And of course I start freaking out and googling everything that it might be and convinced myself that he had meningitis and was practically out the door to the ER within minutes but then I decided I should call the doctor first who calmed me down and told me she was almost certain it wasn't that.  But we brought him in and they said they'd never seen anything like that before so they wanted to do a CT scan to make sure the fluid wasn't leaking into the brain.  THANKFULLY it wasn't and the "bubble" is starting to get smaller now.  They think it's from all the trauma to his head when I was in labor and he tried his hardest to come out for 20 hours ( he had a similar spot when he was born so they think it just came back for some reason...should be gone in a few weeks!)

Easton giving me my ring

My first Mother's Day was WONDERFUL!!!!  Jake and Easton sure did spoil me.  They gave me a beautiful ring with Easton's birthstone and cooked me a steak dinner on Saturday evening and breakfast Sunday morning.  Couldn't have asked for anything better - I love my guys! :)

Easton and I on Mother's Day

 Easton is also now a full-time crib sleeper!  Yay!!!













For your entertainment...a few examples of how sleep deprived I've been:
1.  I left the hot water running for 6 hours downstairs and couldn't figure out why we didn't have hot water all day so I called Jake at work to tell him our hot water heater is broken only to discover hours later that the water had been running all this time ... OOPS
2.  I woke up the other night rubbing Jake's head thinking I was soothing Easton back to sleep
3.  Almost every night I wake up and throw the blankets off the bed thinking Easton is somewhere under the covers!
 4. I have found myself numerous times going into his room in the middle of the night to feed/change him and pick him up only to discover he's sound asleep and that I must have been dreaming the crying.
5.  Woke up rocking a pillow in the middle of the night thinking I was holding Easton and rocking him back to sleep.  I'm losing it!
