4 months and already 16 pounds and 10 ounces Joseph is a big boy, he rolls over from the his tummy to his back and has started to roll over from his back to his belly though he can not yet get his head over. He drools all time and everything has to go in his mouth, EVERYTHING. He is such a happy baby he loves to lay naked and and squeal/giggle, he warms me heart. We will be starting mommy and me swimming lessons in September I can not wait, I think it will be fun and exciting. Oh and Brian has learned that he should be home by mid October, we skype with him a lot and man Joseph really likes to see and hear his daddy. Joseph also loves going over to grandma and grandpa's house, my parents drop everything when Joseph goes over there, my dad and brother have a calming affect on him, and he loves to snuggle with my mom. My sister has been watch him twice a week for about an hour so I can go and get some stuff done. Joseph has just really started to realize Jerry and loves him, when Joseph is having tummy time Jerry lays down next to him it is super cute and it seems like they are bonding which is great. I am doing fine just living the dream of a stay at home mom, I have no time to myself till Joseph goes to sleep, my clothes are always dirty even if I just put them on, and I having an eating schedule of Joseph, but I am loving every moment and I would not change a thing. Last thing Joseph has been eating rice cereal for about a week now and the doctor said I can start baby food in another week, he is growing up so fast

Grumpy big boy

He is not even 2 months old and is already wearing 6 month onsies. He is a big boy and throws me through hoops every day. Joseph for most of the time loves his tummy time and has a very strong neck. He pees on everything still and now smiles after he does it, which in my book makes it okay cause of the his little smile. I am not liking the grab of anything his little fat hand can grab, I can not wait till he completely realizes that, that is his hand and that is him hit himself. He loves to skype with his dad, I think he is starting recognize Brian's voice, he already knows mine and for the most part stops fussing when I talk to him. We are trying to get on formula and refuse to take it unless he is really hunger and than he will only take 2 ounces which is a little frustrating, but we are working on it and hopefully soon he will be a formula baby. I do not have much to complain about though he sleeps very good at night 3 to 4 hours at a time which is great, so I get a pretty good nights sleep. He truly is a great baby and is growing and progressing so well. On another note Brian is doing fine, wishes he could be home with Joseph but is dealing with it, and is counting down the days till he can come home.

He is here, well he has been here for two weeks Joseph Thomas Contreras came in to the world at a big 8 pounds 11 ounces 20 inches long and with a big fat head of 13 and a quarter. When we left the hospital he was 8 pounds 3 ounces and after his two week check up he is 9 pounds 20 and half inches, and his head is still big and continues to get bigger at 14 and a half. He is so hansom and has lots of hair. Brian is enjoying having a son and has yet to get peed on, me on the other hand I am not so careful and have been peed, pooped, and spit up on. Joseph is such a good baby he fusses only when he wants something and we are not getting it fast enough, other then that he is a peaceful, snugglie baby.

ONE MORE WEEK, that is what all I have till I get to meet my little boy. I am so excited and ready for him to come in to this world. My belly feels like I am bloated all the time and it takes me like 10 minutes to roll over in bed and I have to pee every time I stand up. Oh and Brian will most likely be here to welcome Joseph in to the world, he is leaving his base this Sunday and will hopefully be here by the 8th. Which I am so excited about, I will have all my boys with me I can not wait. I have nested and all is ready for Joseph to come home, and start his life. About a week after Joseph comes home, he will get to meet his other set of grandparents, Brian's parents will be coming up to meet Joseph and hang out for a little bit. I am can not wait to show my little boy off, though do not let that fool you I will not like to share or take turn holding him. Me and Brian have been going back and forth about who is going to get to get to hold him, we might just have to go with a schedule. We will see I am probably going to win since I feed the baby.

BIRTHDAY

It's Jerry's birthday today he is now a dog not a puppy any more, he turned 1. I have gone out and bought him adult dog food no more puppy chow and he has decided that since he is one now he need two babies to choose from. He has also decided that my new recliner (thanks to my sister) is his and if I am sitting on there I need to make enough room for him to lay down and stretch out. so HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JERRY

I went for a 4D ultra sound and Joseph did great, he was posing like crazy. He loves the camera the first 4D picture we got was of his man hood which he learned from his father. The pictures are amazing it's crazy how real life he looked I can not wait to see him, though I am a little and he looks like Brian and not me. Oh and my C-section had been schedules for April 9th 2010 at 8am I can not wait. This is the website that you can look at all Joseph's pictures www.babyhomepages.net/babycontreras
