One Month Old!

I can't believe Bo is one month old already! We went to the doctor on Wednesday and Bo now weighs 8lbs. 10oz.! Two week before, we went to the doctor and he weighed 7lbs. 5oz. He's definitely a growing boy! He also has been sleeping pretty good (knock on wood). Last night he slept from 11 to 6. I'll take that!  He has also been awake more during the day and has been "playing" with his toys for 15 mins. at a time.

After a bath

My biological dad and grandma Miller came up from Alma to visit and meet Bo.

Bo in his tie, ready for church!

Bo's first bath and dedication

Bo's umbilical cord stump fell off last week - I was so excited! That thing was gross! I ordered a foam "tub" for the sink so that Bo was a little more stable and to make me feel safer :) I ordered it from diapers.com and with just regular shipping it came the very next day! I was impressed!

Bo LOVED his first bath. He didn't like getting out though. 

After Bo's bath we went to church. Bo and his cousin Henry were dedicated and us parents promised to raise the boys in church and to know God. 

Here is George holding Bo.

Here is my dad holding Henry. 

Introducing Bo David Bass!

Bo arrived Saturday at 12:01pm weighing 6lbs. 10oz. and 20 inches long. I was EXTREMELY lucky and from very first contraction to birth was 9 hours. We were only at the hospital for 6 hours which is good, but was rather scary to go that fast.
All in all I was blessed with a fast and problem free delivery. Enough about that, let's see some pictures!

Here is daddy, Bo, and Max hanging out.

Bo a little mad about not being fed right then.

The Final Picture (hopefully) and the Finished Nursery

34 Weeks

38 Weeks - belly has dropped. It looks so funny!

Here are some final pictures of the finished nursery. The only thing missing is the beautiful quilt my mom made. She is currently putting a special 'made by Grandma' tag on it. 

Spring Break!

I've had such a great time this week on spring break. I can't believe it's almost over, but on the bright side Bo comes in 5 weeks (or sooner - fingers crossed).

32 Weeks

34 Weeks - sorry about the shirt change - I didn't feel like changing. :) I thought I might have grown, but wow I'm a lot bigger!

Homemade and Freebies

I decided that with all the hats I've made, I had better make a hat for my own baby! Actually I made two. I forgot what size loom I used to make the newborn hats and ended up using the loom for 3-6 months hats. After I was done I realized that it was too big and that my baby's head better NOT be that big! The newborn loom seemed really small, but when I was done the hat was the right size - just big and stretchy enough for a newborn head. I liked how the colors turned out - light green and brown.

                                              

                                                Here is sock monkey wearing the newborn hat.
                                                        

This is basically the same hat that my nephew Mason wore in his newborn pictures. I'm taking it with me to the hospital and hopefully when they do the hospital photo shoot he can wear it.

Now on to the freebies! I've been signing up to receive free printable coupons in my email and have been getting some other offers too. I usually delete most of them, but one caught my eye. It was for a free breast feeding cover. I went to their site and checked it out. It was actually legitimate! All I had to do was pay the shipping and handling and I got a $32 "Udder Cover" for free! It came in the mail two days ago and I'm really pumped about it!
                                              

It has a light blue design and I would have liked a darker pattern, but they only had a few to choose from in the "free" category. You can't expect everything to be perfect since it was free. :)

30 weeks, 32 weeks, and a head down baby

Since going to the hospital, I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions on and off, sometimes every five minutes. I had a doctors appointment on Monday but she didn't seem worried about it. She did say that Bo's head is down but that it doesn't really mean anything. I don't know if that's the truth or if she didn't want me to stress out. Bo is definitely lower and I'm having to go the bathroom every ten minutes. It's also a weird feeling when he is patting the "floor" next to his head. It's kind of like he's saying, "knock, knock I'm ready to come out!" One good thing about him being head down is now when he moves around I know the lump toward the top of my stomach is his bottom. I give him little spankings, just getting him ready for the real thing when he's older. lol.
