2 month photo fun

e


Connor is now 2 months and is growing before our very eyes. He last weighed in at 13lb 12 oz that was bit over a week ago. He is already in clothing size 9 months. I just had to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe for him, thank goodness there are sales everywhere at the moment. And I thouht I was sorted till christmas for clothes, Oh well. Connor is smiling and chatting lots now, he loves being sat up he needs to be able to see whats going on around him, so tummy time doesn't work well, he hates it.
Im being called at by 2 kids so better go, enjoy the pictures.

quick pics

Just a few pictures while I have a minute to spare, well I'm actually procrastinating from doing loads of laundry. I will add more info and pictures later in the week hopefully.

1 Month old close up. Look at those big eyes.

Crazy it has gone so fast Connor is now 1 Month old. I guess even the kids think it has gone fast and he is getting big way too quick as they are already asking for another baby and a girl this time please.
Just to make it clear Connor is our last baby and Jeff has been to the doctor for a more permanent no more kids procedure.

Connor at his 1 Month check up weighed 11lbs 9 oz and measuring 23.5 inches so he is rather big and is now into clothes 3 -6 months.
Life is going well, but very busy, not sure how I get Jeff and 3 kids out of the house every morning by 8:20.
I don't get much chance to sleep, and that is starting to take its toll, and with winter settling in, we have all been a bit under the weather.

This weekend we are off to Rotorua for a fun family time. Don't think that will be too relaxing but the kids will love it, and it will be nice to get away for a couple of days.
Anyways the washing pile is calling, so i must go do some more so we can ahve clothes for the weekend.

Our stunning kids

Connor Paul Hassman arrived on April 20th at 8:03pm, weighing 9lbs 5oz and measuring 21 inches in length. We had a rather nerve racking start to the day as I was overdue, my tummy had suddenly shrunk and I could do stunts that no pregnant women should be able to do at 9 months, and I had way too much energy. Then I noted I hadn't felt the baby move for quite some time, and that something's not right instinct kicked in. Off to the midwife I went Caleb and Hayley in tow ( we don't use doctors or paediatricians over here unless something is not right with the pregnancy) only to be told to go straight to the Hospital for monitoring. You would think with being over due and everyone asking if I have had the baby yet I would be able to get hold of someone to take the kids for me, but no not for some time. Eventually I got hold of dad who proceeded to inform me that mum had left the car without petrol so he would have to fill it up first, and then he needed to pay some bills, and run a couple of other errands before he could collect the kids from the hospital. Don't you just love the thought process of a guy, not my daughters heavily pregnant , in hospital, possibly having a baby maybe I should get the kids ASAP.
Anyways the scan and monitoring informed us baby was getting stressed and needed to come out now. So I was given the opportunity to go into labour by myself within the hour.... like my body was going to go oh ok now I can start things. So I was induced and Connor arrived 2.5 hours later. I was awesome despite being against everything that was happening, and all the interventions that were going on, I soldiered on without pain relief only to find out Connor was stuck, thankfully quite oblivious to the chaos in the room. After Connor's arrival I was informed that I would now require an epidural for surgery. Why after all that do I now get pain relief ????
Thankfully the outcome was great, mum and baby healthy and doing well. The only sad thing was I got taken to surgery before the kids arrived and they were not allowed to see me in the recovery room, so I missed out on seeing the kids meet Connor for the first time.
We are all home now, and loving the cooked meals everyone has been delivering. Caleb and Hayley love their little brother, Caleb even took Connor to school with me of course for his show and tell. We are loving our new addition though it is taking a bit to adjust to having a newborn again.

Our attempt to get a family picture.....

Well Hello to all.
Life for me anyway has finally calmed down and I have been able to enjoy being at home and being around for the kids whenever they need me. Plus I have been able to get some much needed rest before baby arrives, and even meet Jeff for a lunch date.
Caleb has settled into school well and is loving it, he is doing very well and is excited to go each day. Having glasses has made a huge difference to his learning and he is a different kid. Hayley is missing Caleb a bit but her days are pretty full on as well, as she has Kindy 4 days a week, its great to see her making her own friends and she too is very eager to learn all she can.
Its starting to cool down now so Jeff is getting busy with work, and enjoying the change of pace and extra work load.
We are all organised for Baby's arrival, but so far he seems much to comfortable to want to join us. Much to the kids annoyance and constant questions to when then Doctors are going to take him out of my tummy.
I have 3 different scan dates, them being the 9th, 12th and 16th of April so far we have past 2 of them and tomorrow we will reach the 3rd date.
This past weekend Jeff talked me into going to Papamoa to Mum and Dads for Easter, I was a little reluctant as it would mean an 1hour 30 min drive back to Hamilton if Baby decided to arrive. Thankfully he didn't but he did succeed in making me rather uncomfortable at times. We had a great 4 days away, relaxing and spending time down at the beach and having a blast with the kids. Also at Caleb's request we went out for dinner at a Restaurant called Lonestar..... Caleb is amazed by how you can order food and they bring it to you.... you don't have to cook anything yourself. It was nice to have some family time together before baby's arrival. Now we get to wait and then wait some more.... I'm not good at waiting.

Well we will post some pictures as soon as our little man arrives. So pray that this happens sooner than later.
