My Little Guy

Today we went to Luke's 2 month appointment. Tomorrow, Tuesday he will be nine weeks. Where is the time going??? Anyway back to the doctors appointment. Everything went very well. He weighed 11.5 lbs. and was 22.5 inches long. He is in the 40th percentile for his weight and 33rd percentile for his length. We have come such a long way because last appointment he was in the 7th percentile in his weight and 9th percentile in his length.
He received 3 shots today and did so well, he only cried a little. What a tough little guy (he takes after his mom on that). Today the doctor did not hear his heart murmur, YEA!!! Looks like that is healing on it's own.
Luke is a great baby, but at times he screams for an hour to two hours at a time and you can not get him settled. As I was telling the doctor about it she started describing what he did to a "T". She asked if he got stiff and arched his back and head, I said YES. Then she said does he make funny noises that sounds like he is having trouble breathing and again I said YES. She then proceeded to say she thinks he might have acid reflux. The doctor said 80-90% of babies have it but they only treat about 8-10%. The doctor prescribed him a prescription for it that he takes twice a day. We are hoping this helps. We go back to the doctor in a month to see if this is working. I will try and keep you posted to see if it gets better.

More pictures to come hopefully some close ups of Luke and better ones of me.

Luke Cohen Betsworth has arrived

Luke arrived Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 1:41 pm.

He weighed 7 lbs. 1 oz. and is 19 inches long.

Hopefully we can go home today but might be Friday.

I will update more when we get home from the hospital.

Brief Update

This morning I had my doctor's appointment. Not much has changed. My blood pressure was high but better then last time. I have not dilated any more but my cervix has thinned. I am now 80 % effaced! I go back on Wednesday and we will see where I am at then. The doctor said he might strip my membranes to get things going. If I don't have Luke by next Monday then he will more then likely induce on Tuesday, September 29th. He said we will for sure have Luke by next week! Let's see what Wednesday brings...

Hopefully soon

Yesterday was my 37 week check up. It became the longest doctor's appointment I have been to. I started off at the doctor's office. My blood pressure was high. It was high the last time I went to the doctor. He didn't like the numbers he saw and told me I need to go on bed rest. :( He sent me to the hospital to have test ran. They hooked me up to see if I was having contractions, listened to the baby's heartbeat and took my blood pressure every 30 mins. He also ordered blood work. We were in the hospital 3 hours doing this. They did put me in a labor and delivery room and made me stay in bed....not fun. They finally released me.
Monday I go to the doctor for another check up... and hopefully we can talk about inducing at the end of the week. He didn't want to induce because I am 37 week and the magic number is 38 weeks.
Maybe this time next week we will have Baby Luke!
