baby update

Yesterday Allyson had her first doctor visit. Dr. Siegel is awesome :) Her weight was 6 lb. 5 oz. so she has almost made it back to her birth weight. She recieved a clean bill of health and we will return in 2 weeks for another check up. She's doing pretty good here at home except for burping, she just doesn't like it much. We are adjusting to our home schedule slowly and have had a couple of rough nights that we were up all night but then last night she took her last feeding at 10 p.m. and then woke up at 2 a.m. and then we woke her up 7 a.m. That was awesome!!! She is so much fun and I could stare at her all day long.

Allyson Brooke Majeski is here!!!

Dave and Amy are thrilled to introduce you to Allyson Brooke Majeski. She was born May 18th at 9:56 AM. Allyson entered the world at 6 pounds 7 ounces and was 20 inches long. Momma and baby are doing well and daddy is spending too much time posting pics and sitting behind the camera! Isnt that his job? Honestly things are going well and we are now welcoming visitors. If you cannot make it, feel free to browse these pictures to enjoy our precious little baby.

long doctor visits

So yesterday we had another non-stress test and again she was very sleepy! I keep telling the doctor's staff that she's just not a morning person (much like her mother). Anyway, she failed the test of course and I ended being at the office for 3 hours instead of 30 min. After great contemplation and wishful thinking (that she would actually do what she's supposed to do) we had an ultrasound and a bio physical profile done. On ultrasound she is still showing about 2 weeks behind in weight but is a healthy 5 lb 13 ounces (Yeah!!!). The bio is a fancy ultrasound where they look for specific markers within 30 min like muscle tone. One of which she was perfect in... sticking out her tongue! Anyway, she did pass so we are blessed with a healthy but sleepy baby. I'll be very thankful when we get to finally meet her May 18th!!!!

C-section

That's right.... she's full of drama already and running the show on her own! Wow, are we in for a ride! Today was a second non-stress test in which she decided to be all mellow again. She eventually passed just like last time after I consumed some sugar to convince her to move around enough to give the doctor the reading he was looking for. After that drama we saw the doc and found that she is still breech and has dropped. Sooooo we are scheduled for a C-section on May 18 at 9:30. Watch out world, here she comes :) We are very excited to be able to start planning seriously for this arrival. It makes it so real to have an actual date on the calendar. It's kind of fun actually. I will be working for another week and then taking the week before the birth date off. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep most of that time to "store up" for what's to come :)
