Hurray!! baby Joshua is finally here.... :) Well, he has been here for the past two weeks!! I guess I am way behind in updating the blog.
So I never quite made it to 41 weeks. During my regular obgyn appointment on the 9th, a routine ultrasound found out that I had dangerously low levels of amniotic fluid. Because this situation is considered to be a danger to an unborn baby (it could lead to a still born), the obgyn suggested I be induced. If anything, I had already gone beyond my due date by 5 days. So after about 11 hours of active labour and 21 minutes of pushing, Baby Joshua was born January 10th at 4.54am. He weighed 6lbs 9.5Oz and he was 19 and 1/4 inches long. He had a head full of long black silky hair. He is just so gorgeous. We love him so much :)
Here are a couple of pictures taken within a short time of baby Joshua's birth.
Our first family picture.... look at those proud parents
In daddy's arms! He looks so tiny :)
Sharing moments with daddy....... great bonding session between father and son!
In Nana Debby's arms... they look so adorable together :)
In his hospital bassinet.
His first time on the car seat... going to see his new home.
First time sleeping on his bassinet... He looks so small in there... :)
His first time on the swing... he loves the swing... and so do we, it keeps him entertained and gives us a much deserved break lol!
Well yesterday Joshua was 2 weeks old...wow...time really does fly by. He is such an amazing baby and has been such a blessing to our lives already. I just can't believe how much you can love someone. We are doing well as a family...He is eating well, and sleeping pretty decent for the most part, about 2-3 hours although sometimes he sleeps almost 4hrs (which is not good for a breastfeeding mom, talk about some pain!!) I also want to update with some new pictures I took of him today!
He absolutely loves that bobby pillow!
A short cute video of him having hiccups.... gosh, those can last for up to 20 minutes. It is so sad that there is nothing much either of us can do help him with that....
Our second family photo.... daddy's turn to feed Joshua.....
Lastly, I am glad that my body is working with me to loose most if not all the weight that I gained because of the pregnancy. So far, two weeks post baby, here is a belly picture..... not bad.. uhhh??? Just to show how dramatic my body has changed, I will also post the week 40 pictures next to it.
Two weeks post baby!
40 Weeks pregnant!
There is so much happening so fast... I hope to keep updating you all more regularly when I get my schedule in tune!
We want to take this opportunity to thank all the people who have kept us in their prayers and those who have called or emailed to wish us well. God bless you all!
Thanks for reading and see you all soon.
