One Month Old!!

So a lot can happen in the first 31 days of life . . .


These are a few of the events that my little Andy Roo has experienced . . .

He got his first hair washing at the hospital a few hours after being born . . .
His first bath came along with it . . .

*Then just 3 days after coming to this earth Andy got to come home and play with his Big Sister. . . Sami is so excited to be a big sister (so long as nobody but her holds him and he stays in his bouncer unless she wants to get in it)

*5 days old and my little angel went to his first Birthday Party . . . Thanks Syd for waiting to have it until Andy could come. (grandma, Great-grandma, Great-grandpa, Andy and "regular" grandpa).

*This is just a fun picture of my Andrew on his 2 week appointment which was also the day of the dreaded circ!! (Sorry no pictures of that!) Lance and I opted to be with the little guy through such a heart-wrenching procedure. (Lance had to sit down after the numbing shots. . . he claimed sympathy pain- I don't get it this guy can watch anything including 2 labors with a front row seat and not even flinch but one tiny needle in his sons winker and he's out cold(?))

*Andy lost his umbilical cord and got his first and only belly-button at 2 weeks and 3 days old. Isn't it cute?

*On the 22nd of May my cousin Brett got married and Andy attended his first wedding and reception at 18 days old. He's the one surrounded by all the girls!
(Sydnee, Breqlynn, Andrew, Haylee, Hazel and Samantha) Devin and Camerin left early otherwise we would've forced them in the pic as well ;-)

*Andrew had his first Memorial Day and went to see uncle Alan and Great-grandpa Coombs' graves for the first time when he was 3 weeks old.

The big girls loved holding little Andy-Roo for the pictures. Thanks girls!!

*Unfortunately Andy also had his first not-too fun experiences before he turned one month when he got his first fever and cold last week which resulted in his first trip to the hospital. It was not a fun experience.

This is a picture of me last Saturday Morning bathing Andy trying to get the little guys temp down before taking him up to the E.R.

This is us at our not very fun day at the hospital. Only 26 days old, and my little man was so brave.

This was an eventful month. Between colic, circumcissions and everything else at this point I can honestly say my Sami Sam was an easier baby. we're hoping that means he'll be an easier 2 year old!! ;-) Maybe he'll be sleeping during the night and spitting up less by then. I hope this makes sense to any who read it the lack of sleep is starting to turn my brain to mush so please don't hold any typo's against me.

He's Here!!

Andrew Lance Jensen 7lbs 8oz!!
He's beautiful and healthy and I love him so much!
So Monday morning Lance and I woke up early to go up to the hospital. We got there around 6am checked in and got started on pitocin "pit". It was great. I was so nervous everyone that knew I was getting started either had themselves been started or knew of someone who had and it was rarely a good story, they claimed it was a harder longer labor and I should just wait until the baby decides to come on his own. Well we didn't and let me tell you . . . my water was broke around 8ish and although i had to have two epidurals I was numb by 10:50 and the baby came at 11:59 as predicted by my nurse (before noon). It was the best labor and delivery anyone could hope for. Besides contracting for a little longer than I wanted given the two epis and being FAR too numb when it was time to finally push it was great! and the healing is already a thousand times better than it was with Sami . . . to this I credit my wonderful Midwife. He even had to fix a few things that had gone wrong while I was healing with Sami and still I was up and about just a few hours after the numbing wore off. But everything is great, we've had some minimal latching on problems but even my milk came in last night and I still feel wonderful!

Ok so enough about me lets talk about Andy . . . He's adorable! He looks a lot like Sami did (so cute!) He does have cross-eyes but I think that just adds to his charm! He sleeps more than Sami did and isn't as alert as she was but all and all a good little man. He eats like a champ and poops like one too. Everyone that meets my little guy falls instantly in love. He has hardly cried a peep but when he does Sami is sure to tell me and be right there holding his hand and patting his head saying "is ok Andwew I'm here" she is such a great big sister. She loves him already and although she does like her attention she's actually not been too bad (knock on wood). She doesn't however like her grandpa and great-grandpa to hold baby brother. She tells them "you gotta put him back" (in his bouncer) when she's had enough. Everyone came up to the hospital to meet little Andy and my big girl nieces were so adorable with him. Breq and Syd are actually really good at holding him pretty much by themselves so long as someone is sitting with them. They were all very cute. Sorry Cam that you're still a little too young to hold the baby all by yourself even though you think you're quite the adult. :) Thanks everyone for your support and love and all the cute little presents you got for our little guy. I love my family!!

Well, Here's some pictures I'll try and get more up here as soom as I can.
