I'm A Big Boy!

One Month

We’ve had quite an eventful first month. First and foremost we’ve loved having Jack in our family. He is a very good baby. I know his laid back nature and general contentment is the favor of the Lord because Jack’s first 4 weeks of life have been packed full. We moved to Tennessee 6 days after Jack was born. In the 2-3 days when we were actually home from the hospital Freddy T. and my mom packed the majority of our apartment to prepare us for a move. Since in Clarksville Freddy has started his job at the church and we’ve bought, painted (with the help of friends and family), and moved into our first house. All the while, I’ve been working hard at learning how to be a mom and trying to get our house to feel like home. It’s all coming together, everyday we get more settled. I don’t have any great advice for new moms as far as raising a child, but one bit of advice I can offer.... brush your teeth first thing in the morning when you get up, it may be the only thing you accomplish for yourself the rest of the day!

We’ll post some pictures of our home another time. We have internet at our house now so get ready for regular updates… for now just enjoy looking at a fe pictures of our growing boy.

This one makes me laugh!

So sweet taking a nap.

Just taking it easy.

A Grand Arrival, Jack is HERE!

Okay gang, the Blogger website hasn't been working for us. I typed out the big long story of how we went to the hospital, got sent home, woke up Sunday morning at 5:30am with Susan's water breaking and Jack Thomas Wyattbusting into this world on December 24th @ 12:50pm....but blogger shut down on me and didn't get it posted....so I'll save you the fun story and just share what you all are wanting to see anyways! Over the next few days I'll try to post fun notes about Jack's first few days...till then enjoy these pictures of Jack's first day. Jack is eating a pooping great and Susan is doing wonderful. We're all real tired, but have hearts overflowing!

Many more pictures to come...i've gotta get some sleep.

Little Jack Isn't So Little

We had an exciting doctor’s appointment yesterday! I went for an ultra sound to check Jack’s growth and to our surprise he is estimated to weigh 8lbs. 11oz. right now. I think I’m still a little shocked, but if you’ve seen me you’re probably not too surprised.

It’s still a little too early for an induction because my doctor won’t induce till you’re at least 2 centimeters dilated and I’m not. She wanted us to go ahead and schedule a c-section for the end of next week, but that puts me at 38 ½ weeks and the doctors that are on call may not feel comfortable scheduling a c-section till you are 39 weeks. So the scheduling center is going to get back to us to see if next Friday or Saturday will work. The other option is waiting till I’m 39 weeks for a c-section, but that falls on Christmas Day and the hospital won’t schedule c-sections for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, so we would go for a day or two after Christmas. For right now we are in a waiting period, because it’s too early to do anything, but while we wait Jack continues to grow. The doctor said for me to be very active between now and Tuesday, when I go back, to try to get Jack to come on his own, so today Freddy and I are going to finish up Christmas shopping, go eat lunch, and do a lot of walking (if I don’t get too tired!). We’ll post as soon as we know what our plans are. It’s going to be an exciting week and a half at the Wyatt house. We can’t believe we’ll be meeting our little boy really soon.

For those of you who want to know if you still have a chance at the free Starbucks, were looking at a possible scheduled birth on the 22nd, 23rd, 26th, or 27th. However, if Jack comes on his own you still have a chance if you guessed anytime between now and the 27th!
