More Pics

Here's just a few more pictures.



Hanging out in his Boppy, he loves this!!!



We found him in his crib like this one morning...He kicks so much that I don't even bother to wrap up his legs, and you can see why!!!

Family time!

My computer isn't hooked up to the internet these days, so that's why I haven't really posted any pictures on here lately. We're hoping to get that taken care of in the next week, thank goodness! I hate not having 24-7 access to the internet, haha!



His first bath!



Playing dress up!

PICTURES!

Finally, baby pictures! My dad finally got into town today, bringing his laptop so we're using the hospital's wireless to post some pictures!




We finally get to put clothes on him, so he looks like a real baby! You can't tell here, but the only tube he's got IN him now, is his feeding tube, yay! He does have a few cords monitoring his heart and stuff but that's typical of every baby here.


My first time holding him, that scary looking thing is his CPAP, it helped to keep his lungs open so he didn't have as hard of a time breathing.


Little tootsies!!!!

Baby's HERE!

Well, well, a few weeks early and I'm a mom! Holy cow! I know that not a lot of people read this, but while I'm actually near a computer I want to post really quick. Pictures will be (hopefully) coming soon!
My water broke last Tuesday night, not even an hour after my dr's appointment where my Dr. assured me that I wouldn't be having him within the next week...Right! Anyway, we sped down to the hospital...and waited. At 4AM I was put on Pitocin to start my labor and at 1:19PM out came Silas Oliver!!
I was 36 weeks when I delivered so he was definitely early. His lungs are underdeveloped, mostly the left one, so he was transferred to the Utah Valley NICU in Provo a few hours after birth and will be there until he is well. Right now he's just on a CPAP that is helping to keep his lungs fully inflated. He is getting a little bit of air in there, alternating from room air (21%) to 25%, so overall he's doing well. We just gotta get him off the CPAP and breathing well, then breastfeeding well and then he can come home!!
Please keep us in your prayers, I'd like my little boy home sooner rather than later, haha!!

Belly Dancin'

I was laying down last night, watching TV and rubbing lotion on my belly when the baby starting moving like CRAZY! I watched for a few minutes, then HAD to get up and get my camera to capture the craziness. He's not moving as much in the video as he was a few minutes earlier, but you still get the idea.

32 Weeks and a crib!

Where is the time going?! Only 8 more weeks til my little dude is here! Last night I went to Ikea, one of my favorite stores EVER, and bought a crib! I can't wait for my cute bedding to get here so I can put that on it, and then in just a bit...a baby!!

Just call me Martha...

Thanks to my mom, who always has amazing recipes to share, we had a pretty good dinner last night! I'll admit it, the picture doesn't make it look amazingly appetizing, but it was sure good! If you look at the very bottom of the picture you can see the edge of my belly, haha!



We then dived into THIS for dessert....




I know, right? Looks amazing, tastes amazing, but was SO simple to make! Somehow there's still some in the fridge, even after I had two pieces today. Don't worry, I've only gained one pound so far, so I can stand to gain just a few more. ;)

Speaking of, here's my 32 week belly picture!



I know my bed's unmade. I made it after I took the picture. I'm smart like that these days. :)
