2 Weeks
We took Greyson to his 2 week appointment and here are his stats:8 lbs 13.5 ozs - 44%tile
21 inches - 67%tile
He looked really good, and did really good with his PKU test! He was way above his birth weight, so we think he is eating really good!

New Bike
On Friday we took our first Family of 4 outing up to Hill Air Force Base to the BX and Commissary. It was a super fun day. And literally all there prices are AMAZING. We found this Radio Flyer Tricycle for Gavin that he ABSOLUTELY fell in love with. All they had were pink ones, but we luckily asked a worker if they had another color and they did. We couldn't pass up the price, so we bought it! Gavin was THRILLED and didn't want to let go of it the whole way through the store or in the car.
Saturday we took him outside and tried to teach him out to ride it. He wasn't about that, but he still found a way to get around. One day he will learn how to ride it and will be cruising!

More Funny Gavin
We have this Magnetic Alphabet Learning Tool on our Fridge that we got for Gavin for Christmas. Gavin loves it & plays with it everyday. He is learning so much from it too. He says the letters and the sounds they make when he plays the letters. Super cute. Well today, he rearranged the letters on the side of the fridge. Funny kid!

Other Greyson Tidbits
When we left the hospital on Saturday, April 30th, Greyson weighed in at 7 lbs 10 ozs. On Monday, May 2nd, we had his first Drs. appointment just to check his Jaundice and to see how he was eating and "pooping" for lack of a better word! He weighted in at 7 lbs 12 ozs so he was on his way back up and his length was 19.5 inches so he grew an inch since birth!He is such a great eater and sleeper. He did have his days and nights mixed up for a minute, but we are slowly turning it around. Last night he slept from 9 to 1:30, was up until 3, back down at 3:30, up at 5:30 and back down at 6! He slept until we woke him up at 8:30 so we could feed him and have a fun filled First Family Day of 4! He pretty much sleeps the whole day as well. He does have an awake period of about 2 hours a day and 2 hours at night, the rest of the time he is sleeping...literally!
He still has the LONGEST, DARKEST hair which is so super cute! I love it!
He is a great baby and we love him!

Greyson's Birth Story
Thursday, April 28th I got out of bed and went to work, hoping that I would be able to somehow get out of work early...I didn't know how I was going to do it, I was still having lots of Braxton Hicks Contractions, but nothing real concrete. At 11:15 I got a phone call from my Dr. asking if I would like to be induced that day instead of Friday? He said that he had something come up on Friday and the Hospital had an opening at 12:15 for an induction that day. He said he would still do it Friday if we needed to but I agreed to do it then. I quickly left work and drove straight to the hospital while letting Mike know what was going on and having him get in contact with his Mom to come get Gavin.
I got to the Hospital at noon, got all checked in and into my room and by 1 Mike and Gavin were finally there to be with me. They started all the meds I needed to be on (pitocin, antibiotic, IV) At that time I was dilated to an almost 3 and 90% effaced.
I started to feel the contractions somewhere around 2 but they weren't that bad. About 3:30 I asked to get the epidural. The bed I guess was off center, so they had to stick me with the epidural needle twice. It all worked out though. I started feeling better. The Dr. broke my water and I was still only dilated 3 and 100% effaced. We were progressing. We asked Mike's cousin to come get Gavin so that my Mother in Law could stay with us while we were delivering. At about 4 Mike and his Mom went down to get a bite to eat. The nurse came in and asked if I wanted anything to snack on. I told her I was so thirsty, so she brought me an apple juice. I sucked it right down and immeditly felt so sick. The nurse said I lost all color in my face. I asked for something to throw up in, and up came all the apple juice! After that I felt so much better and drank another apple juice, but slowly! At 6:15 I asked to be checked again and was dilated to a 5. At about 7 I was feeling the pressure to push, so I asked to be checked again and was finally dilated to a 10 and ready to go. 20 Minutes of pushing and Baby Greyson was finally here.
He weighed 8 lbs 2 ozs, was 18.5 inches long and had a great set of lungs. He entered the world at 7:42 pm. Everything looked great. After he came out I felt great. I didn't shake like I did uncontrollably with Gavin. After about an hour I breastfed Greyson and he latched on great & ate like a champ! He then made his way down to get a bath while I got cleaned up and down to the recovery room. Our new adventure was just starting.
Things I want to remember from this pregnancy:
I had really bad Rib Labor. When I would have a contraction, it would put so much pressure on my ribs, it hurt really bad. I even had to push the epidural button because I thought it was wearing off, but the epidural didn't even touch the Rib pain. I also had the nurse check me at 4 to make sure I wasn't digressing and Greyson wasn't moving back up into my belly because of the rib pain.
I felt so much better this time around. I did feel it all but there was no pain. I also didn't have to have an episiotomy this time around, so I think that helped. I did get this pain in my chest and middle back the next day but we chalked it up to heartburn. I had extremely bad heartburn this pregnancy.
And that is the Birth Story of Baby Greyson!

39 Weeks
On Tuesday I hit 39 weeks. Offically the longest I have been pregnant. Wednesday I went to my Doctors appointment to basically tell the Dr. that I was ready to be induced. hehe. I didn't gain any weight, I measured normal, babies heartbeat was great. Dr. Christensen asked if we wanted to be incuded on Friday or Sunday. I opted for Friday...duh! I was ready! I am just a little upset that I didn't get a belly picture, so the last one you get is the 38 week belly shot. Stay tuned for more baby posts!
