Biggest Challenge

• Our biggest challenge has been weight gain. At his 5 day check-up his weight was down to 7 lbs 7.5 oz. Since he had lost more weight since leaving the hospital we had to start supplementing. His current stats are 8 lbs 2.9 oz and 21 3/8 inches long. He still is not where they would like him to be. He has to have his weight checked every 2 weeks. Being an exclusive pumper is very taxing but we are going to try to keep him on breast milk as long as we can.

He is a very happy baby and we love him.

Wesley Garrett Adams

Wesley Garrett Adams was born on December 28 2009 at 7:20 pm. He weighed in at 8 lbs 2.2 oz and was 20 inches in length.

Despite the concerns and beliefs that he would come early, he hung in there til his induction date. Sunday night, we both felt a little anxious, nervous and couldn't sleep knowing that we would finally meet our little man. Monday morning, we checked in at 7 am and by 8 o'clock I was all hooked up to the monitors. We had very little faith in the resident, and I don't think he was too confident in himself either. (We had a previous experience with him in which we doubted him a good deal.) He wouldn't ever tell us anything, only agree with the nurse, who double checked everything and was awesome. I was dialated to a 3 and was having regular contractions 2-3 minutes apart, but nothing strong enough to get things rolling. They started me on pitocin and antibiotics. Whit and I dozed off and on through out the morning til she broke my water at 1230. About 1 pm I finally began to feel the contractions but they were not bad. Around 145 they began to get intense, and by 2 I decided it was time to get the epidural. After that I fell asleep. Within 45 minutes of pushing and watching the Golden Girls, Wesley finally made his appearance. The entire process wasn't as scary as we had thought, and was actually very easy. The worse part has been the tears healing.
