BLOW OUT!

We had our first blow out the other day. I'm so glad he was wrapped in a blanket and I caught it before it soaked through. Then, to top it off, as I was taking him to the changing table, he massively spit up all over his face and up his nose. Poor little guy was falling apart! So we gave him a bath and cleaned him all up, only to have him spit up as he was coming out of the water!
Our friend Brandon came over when mom was here and took some pictures for us of Max. Not very many turned out, so we're going to do it again, but here's a couple that I really liked.

REAL LIFE

Well mom and Paige left Wed morning. So real life began. Last night he slept for about 3 1/2 hours, then he woke every hour to eat. He has been eating so much the last couple days, especially today. non stop, except to sleep in my arms. Where's grandma?!! So here's some pictures from my phone. this is how he looks majority of the time...they are all after he has eaten!

TODAY

I changed Maddux's diaper today and as I pulled off his onesie his cord popped right off! He's a real boy now!! ;) He still is so small that he just doesn't fit into anything, so mom, Paige and I went to WalMart and found him a little pant suit and some premie onesies. Still big, but we are going to make it work. So here's a picture of him in his little outfit! (Compliments of Grandpa Anderson.) You can see his little feet...he has his daddy's feet, with grandpa Anderson's gap between his toes.

THE BABY IS HOME!

So after three days in the hospital, the doctor let us leave with a a pharmacy of drugs to dull my pain! The first night home Maddux woke every three hours! Fun! But now he's sleeping better, especially since grandma came to visit. I got everything all ready for her to be my helper at night and he slept! For 6 hours! Then last night night was four...I hope this is going to be a new thing and not just showing off for grandma. Grandma and Paige are having a great time with the baby and totally helping me out. My Aunt Annette drove them up from the SL airport and she stayed for a day. She was amazing and did ALL my laundry! Here are some pictures of the new addition!

BABY MADDUX IS HERE!

So everyone can be excited! He is here! He came at 1:52pm October 1st and weighs 6lbs and 11 oz! Here are some pictures of him. I'm sorry this is short, but the Loritab is kicking in and I'm about to pass out. Real quick though, from the very first contraction to the placenta coming out...about 16 hours. I know. Thank the good Lord for epidurals. I never would have maid it. Maddux is doing well. There was a little worry while he was still inside. His heart rate got low and they couldn't figure out why, so I almost had an emergency c-section. But...they decided to pump me back full of amniotic fluid and it helped! With every contraction the pressure would push on the cord and lower his rate, but then go right back up to normal. So the Doc said, push! we need him out asap! And he's doing great. Breathing and feeding just fine! Enjoy the pictures!
