The First Month

Well...we made it through the first month...barely.  Mommy and Daddy are very sleep deprived as our lil one does not like to sleep at night.  He is a little snuggler and only wants to sleep on a warm body.  We are currently working on breaking this habit.  The first month was definitely not easy.  If its not one thing its another for our little Luke.  We first suffered tummy problems that made us very upset.  Our next obstacle was nasal congestion and coughing  that sent us to the Doctor's office for a check up.  We are now pros with the saline spray and nasal aspirator.  We are still getting over the cough but now we have a horrible case of baby acne/eczema.  Luke has been a trooper through this all.  He even gave us his first purposeful smile at 4 weeks.  It makes all the sleepless nights worth it!

Here are some of our highlights over the last month.

Luke John Cedillo Has Arrived!

The morning of our scheduled doctors visit ( 4 days overdue!) I began having fairly regular contractions.  We prepped the car to go to straight to the hospital, just in case.  Unfortunately, I was still only 2cm dilated and very high.  The doctor felt that his head was too large to fit into my pelvis so we decided to schedule the C-section that day.  We had 10 minutes to get to the hospital to check in as we were scheduled to meet our little bundle at 1 o'clock.  We didn't really have time to get nervous or prepared...he was coming either way.  


In pre-op waiting to begin.  A little anxious...to say the least.  At this point, the contractions were coming every 2 1/2 minutes.  What I did get to experience of labor was pretty uncomfortable.  I'm somewhat thankful they took him out when they did.

Last Weeks Before Baby

Here are some belly pics from the last few weeks before baby.

We missed taking a 40 week picture because of Christmas and feeling way too uncomfortable.  Things didn't change too much from this point.
