4 weeks old!

He will be a month old on Feb 7th and getting so big! He was weighed this week and is now 8lbs 9oz and 21.5 inches long so growing so fast!! He also moved up a size in diapers-Im going to be sad when I have to start packing away the newborn clothes!!
He also started holding up his head this week and I caught one little half gas/smile thing on camera! It turned out pretty blurry but I cant wait until he starts smiling for real!!
Now hopefully I can start updating on him monthly instead of weekly!

Bridger 3 weeks old

Bridger is getting so bit and is starting to stay more awake and alert! He is seriously such a good baby! He is usually in bed at 11 PM and and wakes up once during the night to eat and gets up for the day about 7 or 8 (unless Im still sleepy then we both go back to bed when Ben leaves for school!) He tried on his first 0-3 outfit which is the first picture! Pretty big but hopefully it will fit soon! We got the outfit from Costco and I couldnt wait to see what he looked like in it!!
We also left him over night for the first time so Ben and I could get some sleep so we could drive to Rexburg for my friend Kayla's wedding and we picked him up from Grammys and drove up to the Rexburg temple and left him with Grandma Barney! While he was there he got two blisters on his mouth from his breastflow bottles so we had to switch but it was a fun little trip away!!

Bridger 2 weeks old

Bridger was weighed this week and went from 6lbs 12 oz at birth-to 6lbs 7oz at 1 week old to 7lbs 5oz at 2 weeks! We are so glad that he is growing and getting strong! He is already starting to change so much and has started sleeping anywhere between 4 and 6 hours straight at night!


Bridger after his first real bath-he loves them now!

He definatly got Ben's feet! <3


He loves spending time with Grandma Barney :D

and Ben loves having a son!

Bridger 1 week old

I know Im a little behind but life with a new baby is hectic :D
Bridger got Jaundice pretty bad his first week home but I didnt get him in to be checked until he was 7 days (usually when it peaks) so he was pretty yellow until 2 or 3 weeks but he is doing soo good! He is slowly getting his nights and days in order which really helps because I do enjoy sleeping when its dark out! He loves having his feet rubbed and he LOVES to be swaddled! Which I am thankful fore-it really helps him sleep! Here are a few pictures-

Happy Birthday Bridger Scott <3

Well my last post talked about how we were being induced, well after 3 doses of cytotec and 10 hours on pitocen-nothing happened. They got my blood pressure under control and sent us home. Well i went back for another dr. appt and my BP was 192/147! My doctor just about dropped dead-so he said go home and get Benjamin and get to labor and delivery NOW! This was on Jan 6th.
So we get to labor and delivery and get started right away on cytotec to help things along. 3 doses later and hardly any change, we almost decided to throw in the towel and do a c-section because it didnt seem like anything was happening!
Well they gave me ambien to sleep at 1 (i had made progress and was going to start the pit in the morning) and the doctor came in a 3 to "check" little did i know he broke my water-and they started the pit and it was INSTANT labor!! I was okay from about 3-6 AM(besides it being a cruel joke to have given me ambien and nubane) and at 6 called for the epidural and got it at 7! But 9:30 we were ready to go and the baby was born at 10:10 AM on 1/7/10. He weighed 6lbs 12oz and was 20 inches long.
We only had to stay in the hospital one day which was great and my BP is back down to normal! He has been a great baby (besides wanting to be held ALL night last night) and we are just so lucky to have him!
So here are some pictures and WELCOME HOME BRIDGER SCOTT!!
