First day apart

My mom had been begging me to let her take Hunter for the day. I caved and let her have her way. It felt kinda weird, didn't really know what to do with myself. I was glad when he came back though. He was a grumpy little guy. She sent me tons of pictures through out the day. He's such a chunk and so much like his daddy. He feel asleep so quick and without fighting it! Had to share a pic.

Ultrasound

Well, went to the ultrasound today. They had a doctor come in as the lady preformed the ultrasound. He said everything with his brain looks great. Normal as it should be. The doctor will get the results on Friday and we will go in and see what he says about them. I'm glad his brain is fine. She also said that babies skulls are soft so it may just be because he favored one side. I'm relieved but still not 100% worry-free. Praying that my baby boy will be just fine. He's such a trooper. My mom took this pic on her phone during the ultrasound. They put soooo much of that gelly gunk on his head. He was catchin' some ZzZz's. Until next time :)

Before his shots

Sorry for the horrible quality, I recorded it from my phone. This was before he got his shots, he does this all the time! It's so adorable. I love it :)

Today

Just got back from Hunter's six month appoinment. He got his shots today. He did a lot better than last time, didn't cry as much. I still hate seeing them poke my poor little man. He weighs a whopping 21 pounds 6 ounces and is 30 inches long! He's getting so big! I spoke to the doctor about baby's head. It is kinda flat on one side more so than the other. I brought it up at his 4 month appoinment and they told me to just keep turning his head the other way when he sleeps. I did that and it improved a bit, but it's still not as round as it should be. I mean, it's not super noticeable but I see it. The doctor says he doesn't think it has anything to do with his brain since he's developing fine, sitting by himself, holding his head, rolling over, etc.  We have to take him in for an ultrasound tomorrow and make sure everything is okay. I'm so scared that something will be wrong. It may just be because he slept on one side for so long that it hasn't rounded out yet. He has improved since he was born. He didn't want to turn his head to that side then but now he does it all the time. Maybe I'm just worrying because he's my baby and this is a scary thing to go through. He said he would call a specialist in San Francisco and see what he has to say. If they see something wrong from the ultrasound they may have to do a CAT Scan. I want to avoid that at all costs. He said there is radiation involved with the CAT Scan and that 1 in 1000 babies will develope cancer as a result from it. Praying to god that everything will be just fine.
 
  So I called my mom and told her and of course she told me he's fine. "Cill, he's doing everything he's supposed to be doing.  Sitting, 'talking', reaching for things, he's fine." I really hope so. Lydia (Steven's mom) is trying to go with us. I don't mind. I'm just hoping they tell me everything is okay. Pray for us, I will update when I can.

Ugh

Well, looks like all of us are sick. Hunter has a cough :( I hate hearing his little cough. My head hurts so bad and I'm all stuffed up. I took a pregnancy test yesterday, it was negative. I'm relieved but not 100%. I sent Steven to the store and they only had cheap $4 tests. I guess my mind won't be at ease until I take a better test. Praying for a BFN. Hunter is loving his solids. He had some more sweet potato today and he eats them up. I can't wait to give him fruit. Trying to get him to enjoy veggie before he gets the sweet stuff ;) I love seeing his messy face and he always smiles after every bite! We also introduced a sippy cup with water to him. He loved that as well. My little chunk is growing up. He will be 6 months old in a week :(

   

Family

Love my little family! Steven finally took a serious picture with us. Shocking! On a different note, I think my period is late. I'm so scared I may be pregnant again and Hunter is only 6 months old. Hoping it will come within the next few days if not, well I guess we'll just roll with it. To put it lightly, UGH!

Officially...

A baby food makin' momma! I baked his first sweet potato last night. He didn't seem too interested. But there is always today. I'd much rather make my own organic food. I'm also waiting on this! My new Baby Bullet. Seems like it will definitely come in handy. I love that I know exactly what he's eating when I give him solids.
   In other news, we just recieved Hunter's crib today. He has been in the pack n play since 2-3ish months because we couldn't afford it then. I'm so happy he has his own bed, he deserves it!
