Very cute and sleepy.

He is saying "gosh mom stop with the pictures already!"

He looks so peaceful sleeping here! He actually slept in his pack n play during the day for 4 hours!

He loves his paci!


I got on the scale with him yesterday and he is 9 and a half pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO BREASTMILK! He is doing well, still with the baby acne but oh well. He is starting to sleep a little longer at night, we are getting at least 4 hours inbetween most feedings during the night. Daytime ranges from 2-4 hours inbetween feedings. Amazingly he still fits in his newborn clothes, which I think will end here shortly because he is getting so big! It is amazing how fast they grow. He is starting to really look at things now, I was talking to him the other day and he was just fixated on my face and when I smiled he would smile back. He also loves his mobile on his swing, he will just stair at it!
We are so excited to see everyone at Christmas! Happy Holidays!

3 weeks old today! We are so excited to go up north for Christmas and introduce Kohen to everyone! I can't wait to see my family!

The baby acne is starting to get a little better, but he still has dry skin and cradle cap... Poor guy...

Our next Dr's appointment is 12/31, I can't wait to see how much he weighs!

Kohen has been stricken with some fantastic baby acne.... just lovely! He is still perfect! I think he is also going through a growth spirt because he wants to eat ALL of the time! Last night he did go 5 hours inbetween feedings, so we got a little more sleep than normal. BUT all day today he has eaten every 2 hours, at least it is not as often at night! I will get new pics up soon!

I don't know the date! That is how sleep deprived I am!

our little one

Kohen decided to grace us with his presence this weekend! He was born Sunday November 30th at 10:26 am! I had gone in for a nonstress test and BP check on Saturday and my BPs were high so my Dr decided to induce me then instead of today (Thursday Dec 5th).

Everything went really well and very quickly once I started making some cervical change, getting past 1 cm took the longest. We didnt have to push very long either, we started at 9:30 and he was born less than an hour later. I had a wonderful experience with all the girls I work with, it was so nice to be so well cared for. Thank you Cori, Donna, Aileen, and Lourdes for your excellent care. We could not have done it without everyone involved! I will get pictures up of him once I have a half awake brain. He has his nights and days mixed up so I get very little sleep and no matter how hard I try I have a hard time sleeping during the day when he sleeps the most, he is finally sleeping now after being up most of the night wanting to eat every 1 and a half to 2 hours...

My fantastic parents came down the other day and stayed the night, which allowed me to get some well needed sleep. They were such a big help and I can't thank them enough!

He is a beautiful baby! He looks just like me when I was born, not tooting my own horn... He is a little jaundiced, his bilirubin level yesterday was 16.5 so we have to go back today and get it rechecked, hopefully it goes down. He is eating like crazy and my milk is in as well as he is pooping like you would not believe! Even with the sleep deprivation I can't imagine what my life would be without him already, he is perfect in every way and we love him sooooo much!

Like I said, pictures are soon to follow!
