One Month Report

I can't believe my sweet little Davin is one month old. I have a feeling he will be mama's boy. He is a cuddler which my cutie pie Kingston, never really cared for, and he always wants me close to him. I can't say yet what kind of personality he has yet because sleeps about 20 hours a day. I can't really image any of it because Kingston is not what I thought he was even 2 months ago. They both are so young still and developing. I do know I feel blessed and excited to just watch them both grow. Davin does the cutest thing, he laughs a lot. Not just with a smile or he actually makes a sound. He sounds like he would have a husky or raspy voice. I can't wait for him to talk.

He is a light sleeper. He's still sleeping with Ned and I, but every time we move or adjust the blanket he gets startled and throws his hands and legs up in the air, its the funniest thing. He is a love mama's milk. He is as ravenous has big brother.

Physically he probably weighs 7lbs now and I know for sure he's gotten taller because he can't fit any of his premie clothes, the pants look are high water now. He has been breaking out with baby acne but doctor said its normal. He has beautiful light brown eyes. He is his daddy's son for sure, he has more Casault features. He is very lean and long. But with infants everything is always changing. I'm sure it will be a different report next month, maybe next week.

Rare moment, he's awake!!!

Just a quick update on the family:

-Davin is doing great. He sleeps about 22 hours a day, feeding well, and seems to be gaining weight. He's umbilical cord just fell yesterday, I wanted to keep it but it freaked me out.

-Kingston is getting use to little brother. He loves to give Davin lots of kisses. I think I need to stimulate him more with educational activities. Is 15 months too early for flashcard games? I feel like he should know more than 5 words. Dada, Mama, Baby, Stinky, and Banana are ones I hear him say a lot. Please if you have recommendations leave me a comment. Thanks.

Kingston looking at the fishes at the doctor's office. This was Kingston's 15 month checkup.

-Mama is doing great. My back still hurts but I have medicine for that =P. I can fit my jeans again =P. Breast milk is flowing and I'm actually freezing some already. I might not be able to stay out the 6 months I wanted =(. Its okay, that's the sacrifice you have to make for your family.

-Papa is great help. Ned works in the morning and helps me when he gets off. He's unemployed and working on his friend's car for a paycheck. I'm a little worried because he was suppose to apply for a position at Metro but he dropped the ball on turning in the application on time. I'm not going to lie, its very irritating that he wasn't on top of it with that job because he could have gotten it or at least gotten a interview. It was hinted to him to apply for a mechanic position. Now he just has to sit there and wait. I'm not comfortable with the instability we have right now. It really stresses me out. Another stress I don't need, I'm already worried about who's going to to watch my boys when I go back to work.

Welcome Davin Zatique Casault

Born 2:33am

Weight: 6lbs

Height: 19inches

So I didn't make my May due date. I knew I wouldn't, but thought I'd make my 37th week but I was 2 days short. It was a short labor. I felt contractions all day but I didn't feel the stronger contractions til 8pm. Went to the hospital around 10pm and gave birth at 2:33am. Although this was a more painful than my first pregnancy, it was a quick one. a short 15 minutes of pushing and there he was latching on to the breast and feeding for about 1 hour. Yes, I said an hour. Davin is one week old now and feeds very well.

I said more painful for one reason and one reason only, Dr. Martin had to reach inside me to get my placenta out, yup I said it, go inside and reach for my placenta. It hurt worst than the contractions. It was the worst 5 minutes ever. I felt every movement. She reached for the placenta three times. Dr. Martin must of known it was not going to be easy because the whole time she kept apologizing. When she was done she was picking at the pan of placenta and goo to make sure she didnt leave anything inside. I must admit I was scared because my aunt died of complications with the placenta, they must of left pieces inside because she kept bleeding.

Okay, enough of the bad stuff, something funny happened, well I think its funny. My water didn't break so Dr. Martin had to break my water and it gushed out and splashed on Dr. Martin, the nurse and Ned's mom, Debbie. I was like I threw a bucket of water at them. LOL...
