One Month!!!!

Can you believe it?? My tiny baby boy is one month old already (tomorrow!!)! We went to his one month check up on Thursday and he weighed in at 9 pounds 9 ounces (he was born at 7 pounds 13 ounces) and he was 20 5/8 inches long (he was born at 19 inches). He was right in the middle for weight and in the 25% for length. He is a shorty currently. :-) Hopefully he will be much taller than his mom (I am 5'1").

He is losing all of his hair on the top of his head and it is hilarious. He looks like a little old man. He is bald on top, but has hair on the sides and the back of his head. Pretty cute if you ask me (but I might be a little biased)!

We got the CUTEST newborn pictures taken when Owen was 2 weeks old. As soon as I can scan them or something I will post a couple on here. He is THE CUTEST!!! Seriously. I can just stare at him all day long. He makes the funniest noises, which I have coined his "guinea pig" noises. :-) He squeaks and grunts all over the place. He is also starting to be awake more, which is fun. This morning he was crying when I was on the phone with my mom and I put the phone up to his ear. My mom started talking and he quit crying and just stared at me like, "what's this??" It was pretty funny.

In other news...I have to have surgery. BOO. When I was pregnant with Owen I started having bad pains in the upper abdomen, but I didn't think too much of it because I thought it was just him pushing on organs and what not. Well, when he was exactly 2 weeks old I had another attack of the pains and it was HORRENDOUS. I had to go down to the urgent care and get checked out. After a few shots of muscle relaxers and demerol I was referred to get a CT scan. Well...my insurance wouldn't cover it since I wasn't referred from my regular doctor, so, after seeing my regular doctor and being referred for an ultrasound.....I have gallstones!! AWESOME!! The only cure for that is to have my gallbladder out. Again...AWESOME!! The only thing I am really worried about concerning the surgery is being able to take care of Owen. He is getting bigger and heavier, and I will have a weight limit of what I can lift. I meet with the surgeons on Tuesday, so we'll see when it's gonna be.

Right now Owen is sitting in his chair (awake) with his hands up behind his head. Just relaxing. Remember the ultrasound picture where he had his arms behind his head?? He does that all the time.

I'll leave you with some pictures.
