Two Weeks Old

Little Nolan is two weeks old today! Time is flying by and I look forward to enjoying all of the fun that a new baby brings. I love watching them change and grow and discover the world around them. But with him being two weeks old, I also realize how behind I am in blogging. So today I play catch up...watch for several posts to come at once. I am planning to back date them to the actual events. It has been a busy six weeks or so!

It's (another) Boy!

Nolan James Weyerman arrived on January 17th at 11:25 am

He weighed 8lbs. 4oz. and was 21.5 inches long

My smallest baby yet!

My birth story...
On Saturday I hurried out of the house to join my Mom, my Aunt, and a couple cousins for lunch and shopping. My goal was to walk myself into labor - I succeeded. We went to the hospital only to be sent away because I was in labor but not active enough labor...I really wanted to smack the nice nurse, she was saved because I could tell she really wanted me to stay. So, Sunday morning I went home to my parents house with a sleeping pill and orders to stay in Boise because "real" labor could start any moment. The contractions did get worse but they became sporadic/not regular - sometime after midnight I was done, and made Greg take me back to the hospital. It was now Monday morning and I was officially 39 weeks so they had to keep me (I was scheduled for an induction that same morning). After waiting for a nurse to get in (again no progression with my labor, it was too sporadic) - they started the pit and my epidural. And 45 minutes after breaking my water we had a baby.
All dressed and ready to go home.
1st time in the swing.

A Good Reminder...

For anyone that has met my Max, you know he had no fear or sense of danger...And Wesley is also good at finding mischief. I recently read a blog post that put a few things in perspective.
