Long hard week.

This week has been really rough.  Dusty's biological dad passed away last thursday.  It was so unexpected and tragic.  I hadn't talked to him in months and he never met Dusty. It is just hard knowing that Dusty will grow up without a daddy.  I hope that someday I can meet someone who can be that for him.  Because this boy deserves it. The funeral was monday and it was the hardest funeral I have ever been to. It was very rough to see his family going through such a hard time.  All his extended family were happy to see Dusty and I think that eventually he will bring a lot of healing to that family. Especially since he looks exactly like his dad. 

Snuggling in bed with Little Vernie.

He is starting to get some chubb!

One month check up/Due Date!

This week Dusty hit a huge milestone and so did mommy.  He reached his due date!  I can't even imagine these last seven weeks without him here. Being pregnant.  He would have been a very big baby. I am a little glad he made an early debut for that reason. 

At his one month appt:
Weight: 7lbs 10 oz
Height: 20.5 inches
Head: 14.5 inches
%:  1 (lol ok so give him a break! he is 50% for his adjusted age.)

As for me. I went back to work this week. It was excruciating to leave him but I am so happy that my parents are able to watch him for a few weeks until he gets big enough to go to day care. I would be a nervous wreck taking him there now. 

We went to church for the first time. Doesn't he look so handsome in his church clothes?

Church makes us tired.

Milk coma.....

He got to come meet the Doctor that was SUPPOSED to deliver him.  He did not care for it.

He also visited my work and got to meet everyone.

Love my Doodle Bug!

Love this boy!

Got my creative side together and made a car seat cover. It turned out cute.

Darn right!

He has mommy's attitude!

I love my Uncle Jake!

7lbs 8 oz!! Holy crap!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Car seat comparison.



2 weeks and 1.5 months.
I can't believe how much he has changed already.l

The early intervention specialist came to assess Dusty for developmental delays due to his prematurity. He is doing really well. He is holding his head up better than expected. The only thing he is not doing up to age is tracking with his eyes.  But that will come.  He is doing wonderful for how little he was.

What was that!!??!?!

Meeting our friend Matt. 

Finally got his room finished.

Just a chillin.

Getting so big! ONE MONTH OLD!!!

I can't believe my baby is already one month old. It is going so very very very fast. I love it and hate it all at the same time.

I am going to do this every month to watch hoe big he grows.

Yes he is being weighed in salad bowl.  Hey he likes it!

We got a new swing and Dusty loves it. It is a life saver.  He also LOVES his binki! Total binki baby.

Sleepin in.

Love his little bear hat.
