Henry "HANK" Gerard O'Brien

Without further ado........................................

Little Hank is here and making a big splash.  Steve and I are truly blessed with 2 beautiful boys. He was born 6lbs, 14 oz and was 20 inches long. At his 2 week appt he weighed 8 lbs and had grown an inch so he's moving right along. Steve and I think he looks almost identical to Stevie and when I get time I'm going to do baby picture comparisons. We think he's going to have lighter hair though and maybe blue eyes because they seem lighter every day.

Stevie in his Halloween costume. He was a football player. He refused to wear the helmet and would only wear his favorite orange headband. Trick or treating didn't go well either. Everything scared him and we only went to about 4 houses.

Update! I'm being induced thursday. I mean come on already right!?!

Ok so the baby is healthy and crazy! He even surprises the doctors and nurses with how active he is. I'm hoping that this is a good thing. They all say it is.

Here is my quilt all finished. It makes the room look very girly. Oh well, an excuse to start another one.

So I'm pretty sure that my computer is having a personality conflict with this blog.  It wouldn't let me upload the rotated versions of these pics. That's Stevie underneath my belly. He hides under me and I've almost tripped over him a bunch of times.

 

Smarty Pants!!

A little update on the baby- He now ways 6lbs 1oz. So he is still pretty small but growing.  I have to be induced by next Wednesday.


Stevie is a getting into the terrible 2's early but somehow manages to both impress me and make me laugh out loud.

I gave Stevie this food pouch the other night. At some point he found a straw in the living room, took the wrapper off of it, managed to get into the spout and sucked the food out with it. Maybe I'm one of those parents that is easily impressed by their kid but I was pretty surprised.


 

So Stevie caught a little cold this week. He's been pretty tough about it but yesterday morning I found him like this and I thought it was so cute. We've at least taught him how to take a load off. Yes, that's a remote.

 

 

 

 

The last of my summer garden and the king size quilt I finally finished thanks to an excess of down time. I will try to post a full pic of the blanket later.

 

Sorry it's been so long! Bed rest is so Lame!

I have sooo many awesome pics of Stevie and the new baby. IF YOU GET TO THE BOTTOM AND IT SAYS "SEE MORE", CLICK IT AND YOU WILL SEE MORE PICS!

As you may have heard I'm on bed rest. The baby went from the 49th percentile to the 11th percentile between weeks 32 and 35. Stevie did this too and they aren't sure if it's genetics, low pregnancy hormones, or a combo of both. I went in for the 37th week check up and as you will see he looks much more squished in there so I'm hoping it's cuz he's bigger. They say they can't give me a weight approximation yet      though:(!!!!

32Weeks

 

35 weeks-He looked kind of skinny in this one

Grandaddy Mudd's glasses are always a popular attraction for kids.

My new baby quilt. I finished it!!!!!!!!!!!

 

  Bad temper tantrum Stevie threw before bedtime. Is it wrong that we thought this was cute and photo worthy?
