So obviously Sterling joined us on September 24th which was two weeks before my actual due date. I went on bed rest at home on August 25th because I was having too many contractions (had to get a shot to stop them and they gave me steroids to make sure his lungs were developed if he came early) and was 90% effaced and dilated to a two at 34 weeks. Then all the sudden my blood pressuresky rocketed and I had to stay in the hospital on strict bed rest 7 days before I had him. That was just a little bit miserable! They induced me on the 24th of September and Sterling arrived that evening weighing in at 7.94. I wonder what he would have been if I would have made it two more weeks to my due date!
He is doing great and growing out of control! He is already 4 months old! He changes so much every week and I just can't imagine my life without him. He is our entertainment. Just to hit the high points:
He is sleeping through the night (8 hours), smiling and laughing, rolling over, started on cereal, the best baby we could ask for. We arespoiled with such a laid back chill baby.
I took him to his 4 month appointment on Thursday and he weighed 15lbs and 23.5 inches (which I think is a little off because I measured him and he was right at 25 inches). So he was in the 97th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height!! We just love him so much.
Another area of our lives that changed was we moved into our new house on December 15th in Fate. We love our neighborhood and are so excited to get to know our neighbors and start a new chapter of our lives here. We miss Keller, but love it here. Im not sure if I mentioned this in my previous blog, but Shon got a new job working as an assistant controller for Park Place so Keller was just a little too far of a drive for us, plus my mom is keeping Sterling during the day so it just worked out really well for us.
I think that caught us up in a very short way, so I will try to be better at updating! We had a major ice storm this week so school was cancelled yesterday, today, and tomorrow so I actually had time to do things I want to do! Plus I get to stay home andspoil my baby!!
See you nex time!
