Introducing...

My sister had her baby!!!

Wade Thomas Lungren
Born March 10, 2011 at 7:39 p.m.
9 lbs. 9 oz. - 22 inches
(Wade and I ALMOST had the same birthday...!)

I thought Kort was big...! Here's this precious little chunkster and his big sister, Shay!!!
I am SO happy for this new addition! Kort and Wade are going to be the best of friends!

Stats

Kort and I finally had our Doctor's appointments this last weekend. It was my "6 week postpartum" and his "2 month" check up, which really was 10 weeks for us. Just jumping straight to it:
Length: 24.5 inches = 85th percentile
Head Circumference: 40.5 cm which I really don't remember the percentile for that
Weight: 13 lbs. 11 oz. = 85th percentile
Kort is doing awesome! He's gaining great weight, yet he doesn't look like a chunk one bit, except his cute cheeks :) He also got his shots.  Thank goodness the nurse poked him FAST but after she stuck the second one it, he had all his scream built up and just let it out at that point. Oh boy! Luckily Clay was there and comforted him as soon as she was done.  He calmed down pretty quickly and only was fussy for a few days, which really wasn't that bad either.
He is starting to drool non-stop! He's not teething or anything yet so I'll just get used to this drool for now. He loves standing up on my legs (hopefully that's not too bad :S ha ha), is sleeping great through the night with an average of 6 hours straight and only getting up once until his daytime starts around 7:00, and is smiling a TON! It's still mostly on the changing table, but now I can get him to smile when I make my dorky faces and sounds.  He really looks at me like I'm some weirdo of a mom, but he loves it :)  He's also more content now during his awake time, although he still has those fussy moments when it makes things a tad difficult to get things done around the house. Anyway, things are great! I love our little boy SO SO much! His smile just brightens my day! I'm sure you'll be seeing more posts about him soon!

2 months!

(Thanks Aunt Caeli and Uncle Tyler for this awesome snow suit! I got to wear it while mommy and daddy were cleaning out the garage!)
I can't believe my baby is two months already! Time really does fly. A part of me is glad that it has just because things are getting a little bit easier, but weird that Kort is not a stinkin' brand new baby.  We were over at some friends' house the other night and they have a baby girl who was born two weeks after Kort. Wow. She still really looked like a newborn compared to Kort. He's just growing like a weed! If I didn't know any better, I would think he was older than eight weeks.
He's starting to stay awake more during the day and takes a couple or so two hour naps, give or take. It seems like he smiles the most on the changing table during the day - guess he's liking the fact that he gets a clean diaper :) I need to start trying to capture those smiles! I couldn't help but laugh when he had such a big smile that his gums were showing...gotta love those gummy smiles! He hasn't had his two month check up yet (in two weeks), but I do the whole stand-on-the-scale-by-myself-and-then-weigh-him to see how much he weighs so it's about 13 pounds! He doesn't look like a chunk at all either, at least that's my opinion.
I worked out for the first time yesterday doing P90X and I'm just a tad sore today :) ha ha I haven't had my 6 week check up either, just waiting to do it the same time with Kort, so I haven't been cleared by my doctor (shhh, don't tell anyone).  It felt so good though. I have absolutely no abs so the ab ripper X was killer!
Anyway, things are going great. Still trying to get him on a better schedule, adapting to mine so he doesn't rule our world :) ha ha We'll see how that goes, but I'll take it right now how things are - I can't complain. He is seriously the cutest boy alive! He completely makes my day when he smiles and I can't ever be mad at him, even if he wakes up 15 minutes after I put him down and never goes back to sleep til nap time. We have definitely been blessed!
