Levi officially turned 2 months on Saturday (when Grandad was visiting!)! He had his 2 month check-up on Monday and he is super healthy and growing fast. He is now up to 12 lbs and 23.5 inches long! He is not a fan of shots (who is!) and was a tired crank the whole evening – but at least he slept it off! Here are some pictures of Grandad’s visit with Levi. 🙂

August
Sorry for the lack of posts lately – the blog has kind of fallen by the way side these past few weeks. Life with a newborn is interesting! And tiresome! As Levi approaches two months, we are slowly finding a grove. Some days are better than others. He has started to smile and interact with us which has been fun. He successfully rolled (stomach to back) himself over multiple times at the beginning of the month but hasn’t really done it since. However, he is very strong and very active. He likes to know what is going on! Here are …
One Month!
Levi is one month old! We had a very eventful well-check yesterday {full of screaming and tears} but all is healthy. Levi weighed in at 9 lbs 15 oz – almost 10lbs! He is now 22 inches long. Growing like a weed!
Newborn Pictures
Levi will be a month old on Wednesday!! So hard to believe that we have had our little guy for 4 weeks. He is outgrowing clothes already, starting to make faces, and holding up his head a little bit. It is amazing to look at photos and remember where we were just 4 weeks ago. Since I never posted on the blog some of Levi’s newborn pictures, I thought I should put some up – for those that haven’t seen them on Facebook.
Home Alone
This week has been my first week home alone with Levi. It has been interesting! I had a crying break-down Monday night – totally convinced that I was not cut out for this job. However, each day has gotten a little bit better – or at least my confidence has grown each day. Levi is really a good baby he just has his little quirks – like any baby! So we have been working through some of those issues. One of his major issues since he was just a few days old has been gas and reflux. The first night …
Change of Pace
We have had a huge change in pace around here. 🙂 Sleeping a lot. 🙂
Levi’s Birth
For those that care to read, here is a summary of Levi’s birth story. I am not much of a storyteller so bear with me and my factual style of writing. 🙂 Levi decided to make his appearance one week early on June 21st – the first day of summer! I had woken up early Monday morning, around 3:30 AM, with a horrendous headache and a feeling of nauseousness. I took some Tylenol, put heat on my head and laid back down for about two hours trying to get rid of the headache. At about 5:30 AM, I rolled over …
Welcome Levi!
This will be brief but we have a special announcement. 🙂 Levi Michael decided to make an early appearance on Monday, June 21st at 1:58 PM!! He weighed 8 lbs 1 oz and was 20.5 inches long. Mom and baby are both doing well. We will post more when we are home and off the hospital connection. We are both so in love with our baby boy!
Nursery Reveal!
Levi’s nursery is pretty much done! I’m sure we’ll still do some organizing as we adjust to life with a newborn but it’s a good start. Now we just need a little baby boy to fill the room. 🙂 The chair is currently covered with a sheet. It will have a proper slipcover in the near future – Grandma is making one! {She also made his bedding!} Picture frames will get pictures as soon as Levi makes his debut and mommy can take his picture. 🙂 The closet organizer was built by Mike. Didn’t he do a great job?!?!
37 Weeks
We are in the home stretch! Only 3 more weeks to go! We are very ready to meet little Levi. 🙂 His room is almost done (stay tuned for pictures) but otherwise we are ready for his arrival. Here are my 37 week stats and picture (sorry, not the best picture!). How far along? 37 weeksTotal weight gain/loss: 24 lb gain – really, going to stop answering this question!Maternity clothes?
