So much has happened since my last post. My sweet little boy is already 5 weeks old! I can't believe how fast time flies.

Birth Story
I went to the hospital on Monday June 3rd around 9pm to get induced. Shortly after receiving my first dose of medication Tanner's heart rate dropped. He continued to have decelerations with contractions throughout the night. The doctors and I decided that we should just be safe and deliver him via c-section since he was not tolerating the contractions at all. He was born at 9:37am and was just perfect weighing 6 lbs 11 ounces and 18.5 inches long. I was so glad we had the c-section because it turned out his cord was around his neck which explained all the troubles he had with his heart rate throughout the night.

Tanner's First Picture!!!!!!

I was so big no wonder the doctors though Tanner would be large!

First Doctor Appt - 6 days old
Tanner left the hospital 6 lbs 3 ounces (Friday) and by Monday he weighed 6 lbs 8 ounces. The pediatrician was so pleased he said that I didn't have to wake him up to eat at night anymore!

2 Week Appt
Sweet boy weighed 7 lbs 1 ounce and was 20 inches! I couldn't believe how much he had grown. He got an A+ for health and we don't have to be back for another checkup until his 2 month appt. Tanner also had his first bath this week. He loves the water!!! I knew he would because both Kris and I love the water. I can't wait till next summer when we have a water baby, we will be in the pool all the time.





Newborn Photoshoot
Tanner did great at his newborn shoot, he even peed and pooped on the photographer a few times!  I just love the pictures that she took and will defiantly use her again for his 6 month photos. The following pics are my favorite from the session.





1 Month Old- July 4th

We took Tanner to the lake house  to see his Grand Dad for the 4th. His Grand Dad Dale's birthday is July 5th so we had a little bday party for both Dale and Tanner. We had so much fun at the lake and Tanner was totally spoiled the whole time.


My little man is so serious! 

I love his little face in this pic.

Today we had our last OB appointment before Tanner arrives! We made a plan to induce on Tuesday 6/4 if he doesn't come before then. Having a set date is very exciting but makes us very anxious at the same time.
Kris and I opted to get induced at 39 weeks because he is on the larger side (7 lbs 1 ounce last week), I am so uncomfortable, and we can barely stand to wait any longer to meet him.
If Tanner gains weight like they predict, which is about 1/2 lb a week we are looking at a 8 lb munchkin next Tuesday.
I hope all goes well with the induction- but vaginal delivery or c-section I don't care as long as we end up with a healthy baby boy in the end.

Kris and I are bringing some baby pictures of ourselves to compare to Tanner when he arrives, but so far it looks like he may take after me!
