Happy 3 weeks!!!

Brody Luke is 3 weeks old today and I can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday I was laying in that hospital bed getting ready to have him!!! I fall more and more in love with him each and every day!! He is doing great!! It is crazy how fast they grow. He is becoming more alert and staying awake for longer periods of time and more often now. He is very strong in his neck and he is starting to try and roll over, or at least on to his side. I just can't get over how cute he is, but I am a little biased:) He does pretty well at night, wakes up every 3-4 hours. He does have an occasional night ( last night) where it seems like he is up every hour. But I can't complain, I love being his momma!!!!!

We have been taking him out a little more lately especially this last Friday and Saturday since the weather was good and it was a little warmer. He loves going to his Grandma and Grandpa LeMaster's already... my mom tries to take him everyday, but I just won't let her. We did leave him on Friday night and we went and watched a movie. I know he will love going over there when he gets a little bit older and they will spoil him rotten.

Here are some new pictures...These were yesterday going to church. I didn't get a chance to take a 3 week picture today but maybe I can get it tomorrow.

Happy 1 Year Anniversary..... and 2 weeks!!

Happy One Year Anniversary to my Husband and I!!!!!!! Time sure does fly by!!! We have had a wonderful first year of marriage with a lot of changes good and bad and a wonderful blessing... Brody Luke. Happy Anniversary to us and many more to come!!!

Today Brody Luke is 2 weeks old!! Well at 8:59 pm he will offically be 2 weeks old! He is doing fantastic and just so precious! I can already tell that he is growing, yet he is still so small. I put him in a Newborn outfit yesterday (5-8lbs) and it was still too big for him!!! I found out today that he loves his swing! We are so blessed!!! We took Brody to church yesterday for the first time and he did great!!

Precious Brody

I cannot believe Brody has already passed up his one week birthday!! He is 8 days old today and I already think he has grown some. He is doing fantastic. He is still somewhat Jaundice and we take him back for a check up on Thursday to make sure his levels have not gone up. He has his days and nights confused right now so we are working on that. He is the most amazing thing that I have ever laid my eyes on. Here are a few pictures of my little sweet precious man.

Brody Luke Roland

Brody Luke Roland has arrived!!! He was born on Monday January 5th, 2009 at 8:59 pm. I was 36 weeks and 1 day and my doctor decided to induce my labor due to this horrible rash I had gotten and struggled with for the last 5 weeks. They never really found out what it was, but tested me for several different things. It was miserable, I couldn't sleep at night, I had welps and hive like places that soon turned into scabs all over my body. Sounds gross I know. We tried several different things and found relief nowhere ( except for gold blond medicated lotion)... so we did an ultrasound to make sure Brody was healthy and that if everything looked good we would induce. PS: If you look real close in my pictures you can see the nasty rash!!

I went to my appt. on Monday at 11:45 and was in a hospital room in Labor and delivery by 2:00. My doctor laughed with us saying I will see you all after midnight sometime to deliver that healthy baby boy. We thought it could be a long process since this was my first child and I was being induced. Boy were we wrong. I ended up being in labor for 4 hours and I pushed for 15 minutes!!! I was never in extreme pain I guess I was just expecting much worse but the worst part was the rash I had. I was planning on getting an epidural and well I did except for the fact that it ended up being too late and the epidural didn't take. As they were giving me the epidural I still kept feeling everything and they finally decided to check me since I was still feeling everything so they checked me and the nurse said "Baby is coming, Page Dr. Roberts" and it all happened so fast. It is amazing what your body can do and how the pain just goes away... It was the most amazing experience that I could ever imagine..One I will never forget. I loved it... I had the best birthing experience I could have ever dreamed of.

Brody is absolutely beautiful and so perfect. He had to stay in the nursery under oxygen for the first night since he was born a little early his lungs were not completely "opened" up but after that one night under the oxygen he was fine, he is so strong. My doctor and nurses said he was a real miracle and a special baby. When he came out he had the cord wrapped around his neck and he had made a complete knot in his umbilical cord. My doctor said that is very uncommon and can also be very dangerous. So I looked at it like God gave me that awful miserable rash for that reason.

We are adjusting well to being home. Brody is a wonderful baby. He sleeps and eats and doesn't cry much. He had his first doctors appt last Friday and we take him back tomorrow. We are so in love with him and can't believe what a blessing and miracle he is.

I will try and update often but I know it will be harder to find time..

I will leave you with some pictures...
