Just chillin'

So Kaleb and Daddy play alot during the day. Here Allan was trying to prop Kaleb in the sitting position on the couch. He looks a little mad.

Below, Kaleb likes to play in the bathroom sink. I discovered this one day when he was crying and we always stand in teh bathroom with the faucet running. (I know, I know, there is a drought right now, but i would do anything to calm him down!) Anyways, he loves to put his feet in the water.

We just thought he looked so cute with his hat on. Ready to go!

A Smile!!!!

Here we have finally captured a picture of Kaleb smiling. He and daddy are playing together.

Sleeping and Playing

Kaleb loves to sleep. He just doesn't like going to sleep or waking up. But once he is awake, he is all smiles. We have not been able to capture a smile yet on camera. He is pretty sly about them. But in one of these you can see his happy face.

6 weeks and growing

Hello family and friends. I cannot belive Kaleb is now 6 weeks old. He is growing so fast. He is starting to outgrow the newborn outfits. He has rolled over twice now, can scoot himself forward when he is on his tummy. (Not intentionally, he just kicks off with this feet so much that it moves him) He holds his head up really well now and he is starting to coo. Well, he yells at us and occasionally, coos. :) He smiles and likes to watch us talking to him.

He is almost sleeping through the night now. 6 hours at one stretch.

I start back to work on March 2nd so i am really trying to relish these next several days with Kaleb. Hope you enjoy this next round of photos.

We love you all,

Joanne, Allan and Kaleb

All right everyone. Here are the much anticipated pictures of Kaleb. It is hard to get anythign done with this child. When he sleeps, i try to sleep or eat or take a shower. But he is doing well. Changing every day. Getting chubby. We call him squeakers. He squeaks all the time.

Almost there!

Well, here we are at 38 weeks. Doctor says I have dilated 2 centimeters. I hope Kaleb decides to make an appearance soon. His kicking is relentless. But he is healthy and so am I. I have mixed feelings about the upcoming delivery. I just wish the pain would start so I can deal with it instead of thinking about dealing with it.
Here are a couple of pictures of my belly. I know they have been a long time coming.
Allan is very excited about meeting his son.
We thank you for your prayers.
Joanne and Kaleb. (And Allan too)

Well, here we are, Kaleb and I at 29 weeks. Feeling good. Well, sleepy. Kaleb started kicking me all night long no matter what side I was on. That was not good for me. But after a few days of that, he decided to let mommy get some rest. So now he only kicks a little at night. I am still sleepy all day because I have to get up just about every hour at night. My hips started bothering me and then I started getting the round ligament pain in my belly. The ligaments are stretching.

So I did some research and found a Chiropractor who specializes in helping pregant women. She is helping ease the pain and showing me stretches that will help as well. I am feeling a lot better. This should also help the baby get into the right position for labor.

Speaking of labor, Allan and I have finished 2 of our lamaze classes. We have two left. We watched the dreaded birth video at the last class. Allan did alot better than most of the other guys in the class. He was a bit nervous about watching it, because it was going to show everything. It was kind of gross. I realized that I don't want a mirror during the birth.
The classes are very informative and I am glad Allan seems to enjoy them. I will probably forget everything they are teaching me, but Allan will remember. I hope.

I have started feeling the Braxton Hicks Contractions. Very strange. It's like I have no control over my own body anymore. Well, the thought that I have ever had control over my body is most likely an illusion.

Allan has finally seen and felt the baby move in my belly. He was very excited. At first, he thought it was just gas. But it was so cute watching Allan watch my belly.

Until next time, be well.
