2 Months Old Already

Monday Augie turned eight weeks old. Technically Friday he was 2 months (if you are going by the date...). He's turning into such a little man. It's absolutely incredible to watch him grow. He's had a lot of family visitors. It's normal to have both sets of Grandparents, his Aunt Boo Boo & Cousin Lehnie stop by frequently.

Lehnie is going to be a big sister in May so she's getting a lot of practice too. She think's he is soooooo cute AND prefers to call him by his formal name, August.

Cousin Lehnie

Grandpa Alan came by for a visit last week. Someone was a little fussy and is still getting a hang of the bottle. We currently give him about one a week to make sure he is used to it when the time rolls around for day care when I go back yo work (just about 3 weeks away now). Yesterday he had two bottles from Dad and they were much more successful. In the next few weeks we'll practice a little more.

Grandpa Alan

Augie is very alert and loves looking around the room. He really enjoys shadows and inanimate objects on the wall. They make him VERY happy. He follows voices, smiles, coos and grunts up a storm. We've even caught a laugh or two. His favorite, and most talkative time of the day tends to be at 2:30am and 4:30am! The squeals make it easier to be up at that time. I know you are not supposed to "play" during the night time, but I can't help laugh when he's totally "geeked" out and smiley. Dad seems to get more early morning laughs and giggles than Mom. I think they talk guy stuff which seems to be more intriguing than what he and I talk about all day.

Dad & Augie

Friday was Augie's two month pediatrician visit and he is pleasantly perfect in every way. I wish I would have taken a picture to compare to his first Dr's visit.

His new stats:

Weight: 10lbs 2 oz (17th percentile)
Height: 22 inches-he's grown a whole 2 inches in 2 months! (17th percentile)
Head: Huge... 39.5 cm (35th percentile...wow!)

He was a great patient and only screamed for a short time when given his vaccinations. He was a bit fussy all night and the vaccination sites were sore for him. His little painful wimpers broke my heart. At least he is set until his four month checkup in May.

More fun updates to come!

Our New Arrival: Meet August Andrew Eikstadt

Well it's been over a week since you've seen a post from me and most of you know that it's because we've been busy, busy, busy with our new arrival!!!! August Andrew Eikstadt was born on Monday January 16, 2012 at 12:57pm. Some of you have already heard me say this but here it is again: he was 7lbs 12oz and 20 inches of perfect. And seriously, I'm not lying. He's perfect. It's amazing to think that this little dude made his home inside of me for almost 10 months. He was born when I was 39 weeks 3days...just shy of his due date of 1/20/12. Yesterday he was a week old. it made me tear up a little to think how much he has already grown and changed since his birth day. We brought him home just last Wednesday, after a big snow storm moved through on Tuesday. Augie did great on the car ride home and has already had his first outing to the Dr., in which he was a champ for the appt (which just so happened to be another day with

34 week belly pic!

34 weeks...going on 35! (weird shadow makes my hair look big on top... but doesn't offset the belly growth...haha. Mom does need a haircut though.) 31 weeks 23 weeks 20 weeks 17.5 weeks 13 weeks We've had our last baby shower . I think we have just about everything we are supposed to need for this kid. Dr. says everything is moving along great...both Mom & baby are healthy and right on track. I get tired, toss and turn occasionally at night, my arms fall asleep at times, and recently the squirmy worm likes to kick me in the back, sending shooting pain down my sciatic nerve pathway! (fun when walking really)... but I know that it comes with the territory. Things I'm looking forward to...besides the little guy and all the cuddly cuteness of course... laying/sleeping

Now we're getting antsy. I hit uncomfortable a few weeks ago...I can deal with that. Now we are just antsy to meet the little guy and introduce him to his family and friends. I think Andy & I are in fast forward mode all of a sudden, just wanting the time to fly by... Looking at pictures from last week it appears I may have dropped slightly...maybe?...maybe not? I guess I can sort of breath a little easier. I'm not waddling like many people say you do when this happens...I'm just slow...haha. I'm not nesting either. I've posted to Facebook to tell friends what I've been up to and they say I am, but really that's just me. I'm totally anal retentive and a perfectionist and have to have things in their place. This is my norm. Not anything new. 38 weeks 37 weeks As the time draws near my patients at work continue to say things like, "You're still here?" and "Had that baby yet?" (most annoying question ever). Ye
