1 Month

I can't believe my baby boy is a month old already. It has gone so fast! We are still trying to figure each other out. He teases me by sleeping 6 hours during the night a couple days then goes back to 3 hours if I am lucky. He still sleeps a lot during the day, which can possibly be the reason for the weird nights. He seems to not be too happy of a baby so I am hoping that changes as well. He is crying unless he is being held or fed or is sleeping. Not used to that, my other 2 were very happy and content just laying on the floor or chilling in the swing or bouncer chair. He does okay in those but not as well. Like I said...we are still figuring it all out. We are all so glad he is here. It is still weird for me to think I am not going back to work. That will be my biggest adjustment I think. I need to come up with some things for Tyler to do so he isn't watching TV or playing the Wii all day. Of course Winter is coming so the runs to the park will not be an option anymore. I better get some in before it is too late. He will be starting pre-school next Wednesday so that will be good and get him (and me) out of the house. As far as Brandon...he started 4th grade on the 21st of August. He likes it so far. He (and me) are still working on getting back into the swing of things. He is also playing Fall ball so we are out late on Tues and Thurs, which is making it a little bit harder. Plus, it starts at 6:00 so it is a little complicated to get everything done in between him getting home and leaving for baseball. It is all good though. We are slowly figuring it all out. Slowly...

HE IS HERE!!!

For those of you who don't know (since FB is so much easier to update) We welcomed our new little boy on the 31st of July. Once again I was induced at 38 weeks due to gestational diabetes. I was required to be at the hospital at 5:30 in the AM hours. Holy cow that was early! I went alone cause we had to wait for the daycare to open up so Andy could take the boys. We figured nothing too exciting would happen in the hour in which we had to wait...we were right. I got hooked up to the Pitosin at 7:45 and we let the fun begin. For those who have never experienced the lovey drug...don't ever! It sucks! The nurse came in about 2.5 hours later and I hadn't dilated at all. The DR came in to break my water and the baby was too high so he couldn't...so we continued to wait. Around 11:30ish they were finally able to break my water but I wasn't dilated any more. WELL...that didn't take long. Once they break my water things always go quickly and painfully :) Around 3:30 they checked and I was at a 10 but baby was still too high so we waited about 1.5 hours for him to decided to "give up" and drop down so he could come into this world. At 5:00 we started pushing and he was born at 5:34 PM. We didn't have a name picked out (as usual) so that took more time then having him. We had talked about Payton but hadn't really decided on anything. In the meantime I had come up with a list of names that of course Andy didn't like any of. So back to the baby book we went. After a long afternoon of looking Andy came up with 2 names. One of which I was not a fan and the other is the one we went with...DYLAN ANDREW HADLOCK Came into this world weighing in at 8lbs 12oz and was a towering 20.5 inches. All is well with us as we try to adjust to 3 instead of 2. Okay as I try to adjust :) However it has only been a week so I have to give myself some time. This picture was taken the night before I went in. I figured I should take one since I hadn't taken even one the whole pregnancy. Here he is in all his glory! This is one of my favorite shirts! It says 50% Mommy, 50% Daddy, 100% Adorable! How true it is! We all love him!
