Beautiful Fall Day

Had to post this.

Today Lane and I went for our first walk. Beautiful weather so I thought it would be good to get out of the house and get some fresh air. Then we got back and played with Tuff & Roper. Tuff was morre interested in what was in the stroller than playing fetch, Roper of course was playing fetch.

I hope there are more beautiful days while I'm on maternity leave.

Saturday Justin is going deer hunting and Lane, Grandma Coleen and I are going to Sioux Falls to go shopping.

Our Little Boy is 1 Month Old

Again I say Time Flies! WoW, I can't believe Lane is 1 month old. November 15,2009 he turned 1 month.
Here he is in his football sleeper laying on daddy's blanket at 1 month old. November 15,2009

Yankees Win!! Lane is 3 weeks old

Yankees Won the World Series last night!!

Thursday, November 5 which is the date I wanted Lane to be born on because it was my grandmas birthday and how cool it is that 3 weeks ago he was born. I can't believe its been 3 weeks already he'll be 1 year old before I know it. WOW!!!!

Today he is supporting the Yankees.
Tomorrow we are going to get Professional Pictures taken which I'm totally excited for.

I just can't wait for Justin to be home all the time, even though him working and getting a paycheck is nice. I like it when its just the 3 of us!!!

He's a Yankees Fan

Just had to blog this.

Friday and Saturday night Lane slept great 3 hours between feeding and that let mommy get some sleep. I was actually up at 8:00 Saturday morning and didn't take a nap.
But Sunday night when mommy and daddy wanted to go to bed at 9:00 Lane was not about going to bed early. He was fussy and just wanted to eat and cuddle on the recliner with his mommy. I hope he's not figuring out that I spoil him there. But I don't think I am, I think a mom has a right to cuddle with her son. Anyway so he ate and then didn't want anything to do with his crib. I turned the tv on and we sat in the chair watching the Yankees vs Phillies and at 11:00 when the game was over he was OUT. I think he just wanted to watch the game to make sure the Yankees won. I wonder if he'll be like that tonight??
I just thought it was funny how he just wanted to stay up and then was out when the game was over.

Yesterday and today the sun is out and looks beautiful out, I really want to take Lane in the stroller and go for a walk but I think its still a little to cold to take the little one out. Wait a couple months when its SPRING then we can go.

Back to Monday, Justin left for work this morning and its just me and Lane. We got lucky last week with Justin being rained out Thursday and Friday so he was home for 4 days. I really liked that now today I am missing him. We'll see how the weather holds up this week. I haven't had a week yet by my self but this week I feel much better about doing things and doing them on my own. Soon Justin will be home.

Saturday-Halloween
We didn't do anything but rented movies and stayed at home.
I did buy Lane a Baby's 1st Halloween Onesie and he wore that. A lady who brings supplies to my work made a blanket with a scarecrow and pumpkins on it so we took some pictures of Lane on his 1st Halloween. It was hard to get a decent picture with him looking but they are still cute.This Saturday would have been Lane's due date. Wow I can't believe on Thursday he will be 3 weeks old. Time is flying by. I think back on the day I went to the hospital and it seems so long ago. Don't want to go through that again anytime soon. I will take the time and enjoy my little one for now. Glad Lane came into the world early and healthy. Again I think he came into the world early to see the Yankees in the World Series. :)

I guess that is it for now. Once we got out and about and do more things the blog should sound more interesting now its just sitting at home spending time with each other and our son.

Take Care Everyone

Life Changes...for the good

Hello Everyone

Why is everyone sick? Can't people just be healthy and the world be rid of all sicknesses?? Wouldn't that be great.
Right now we aren't taking Lane out in public and being careful who comes in contact with him. We don't need him to get sick.

Night time is going good, some nights are better than others but can't complain. Though mommy is really looking forward to an 8 hour sleep, but that will come in time. I just keep thinking that I have nothing going on and Lane sleeps in the afternoon so I have time to take naps. And I usually get my energy after I'm up and moving around and not rocking him. Lane likes his cuddle time with his mommy at 2:30 am. Maybe because he was born at 3:41 a.m. he thinks its time to be awake then. Mommy better talk to him to let him know that am means sleep pm means awake. Crazy little boy!!!!

Thursday and Friday Justin has been home because rain and snow...YES I said SNOW!!!
Thursday, Lane had tummy time and boy does he love that. He has a very strong head. Lifting it up left and right. We got video of him lifting his head up but I'm not sure how to put a video on here. So here's a picture.

Then he was resting in daddy's arms and he starts making his usual noises while sleeping and the noise sounded like a dirt bike starting up. Justin and I just busted out laughing, he just kept on doing it. By the time I got the camera to get a video of it he stopped but I got a little of it.

Today, Friday we just have been hanging out, not much to do when its snowing. I guess its Lane's first snow and he can't even go out in it. Which is ok!! There will be plenty of those days to come.

My mom went and bought Lane some sleepers and here is one that looks like a baseball uniform so he looks like a little baseball player. Lane says "GO YANKEES"!!!

Well that is it for now, my time is consumed by Lane, bottles, dirty diapers, naps and eating when I can...BUT I LOVE IT!!!

Have a Happy Halloween Everyone!!

Our Beautiful Son

Here is Daddy showing Lane his "brothers" Tuff and Roper. Tuff really wants to meet Lane face to face. He'll have to wait until this Spring and Summer when its warmer and Lane is bigger.

Here is Lane in one of his MANY Camo outfits. What a stud!!
Sunday we left to go home from the hospital Lane weight 8 lbs 7oz
Tuesday back to the hospital for a check up and he weight 8lbs 10.6 oz
Thursday went to the Dr for Lane's check up and he weight 8lbs 12 oz
What a growing boy!!

HE'S HERE!!!!

Our beautiful baby boy is here!!!

When the Dr. says 2 weeks he means anytime.
Tuesday night at 8:30 p.m. my water broke
10:00 a.m. Wednesday morning I was admitted into Hospital!!
Dr told me I would be having a baby with in the next 24 hours. He was right!
3:00 AM Thursday came and I wasn't making any progress I was still dilated to a 3.5 so Dr said we are going to have to do a C-Section. My water was broke for 36 hours and it was time to get him out.
3:41 AM at 8lbs 11 oz Lane G was born.

Beautiful Baby Boy, lots of dark black hair and chubby cheeks!!!!
Mommy and Daddy loved him at first sight.
Daddy got to give him his first bottle while mommy was still down getting things done after the delivery.
He has been doing great.
Friday we have found that his vocal cords do work and that when he's hungry, he's hungry and wants it now. That he totally gets from his mommy!!!!
We think he looks like his daddy but has his mommies nose and chin. PERFECT!!!

We are at the hospital until Sunday, seems kind of long but the days have been busy and going fast. Tomorrow is already Saturday.

Justin and I are loving the parenthood life, of course as we are at the hospital we have more help and can bring him to the nursery so we can sleep at night. We'll find out what those 3 am feedings are like soon!! But hey its all worth it!!!! I would get up in the middle of the night for him.

But that is all for now time for bed or a few other things that I think should have been done today but didn't happen.

Lane is content now as daddy just fed him so he is out like a light after his belly is full.

Time for rest for mommy and daddy.

Till Next time,
The family of 3
