2 Months

Wow! I can't believe Colton is already 2 months! It's crazy to think he wasn't supposed to be here till now. We are so grateful for him each and everyday. Colton now weighs 8lbs 8oz...he is HUGE, he has almost doubled his birth weight. He is very alert when he is awake, he likes to follow things with his eyes, he loves looking at lights and likes his tummy time so he can work on his strong neck muscles. We are absolutely in LOVE with him!

Colton

Colton is such a good baby, he pretty much only cries when he is hungry. He sticks to his eating schedule and eats every 3 hours.  Some of his favorite things are his binky, bouncer and swaddle blanket. He is so noisy when sleeping, he moans and groans all night. He loves to be held and likes listening to music while falling asleep. He likes to lay on his stomach and stretch his neck. He makes us laugh all the time with his funny faces. We are so grateful for him and the joy he brings to our family.

Pregnancy

 I am so grateful for Colton and love him more then anything but to be completely honest I didn't like one thing about being pregnant, mostly because I was so sick and threw up every day/all day for 7 months. 

A few facts about my pregnancy:

*Had to quit my job when I was 6 weeks pregnant because I was so sick

*My sweet neighbor was a lifesaver and would come do my dishes because they made me so sick

*My AMAZING husband was so supportive and took such good care of me

*My Zofran didn't seem to help

*I loved the smell chalk and wood

*I retained incredible amounts of water

*I probably put on make up/did my hair a grand total of 5 times in 7 months

*I went to bed every night at 8pm, sometimes I would try to go to bed at 7pm and Dan would make me stay up till 8pm

*Smells were so awful, one of the worst smells was our new carpet

*I had a huge fear of throwing up before I got pregnant, now I would consider myself a pro but I still hate it

*We were told Colton was a girl, 2 weeks later we found out he was a boy

*My favorite food was McDonalds french fries, I ate them at least once a day...I haven't had them since

*The first thing I would consider before eating something was how it would come back up

*I kept our house at 62 degrees, poor Dan was always freezing

30 Weeks!

Christmas 2011

Colton is our little miracle, we are so lucky he was able to join us for Christmas!

Santa stopped by our house, he spoiled Colton

Merry Christmas

We spent Christmas Eve at my Moms

                                                    Colton's cousins absolutely adore him, they can't   

wait for the day they can hold him and play with him

Since Colton was born so early he inst supposed to be around kids so all the girls have to wear a mask and wash their hands good.
