Slide!

BC and I finally got around to getting Declan a birthday present (hey, it's still June)! BC picked up his new slide last weekend and Declan is loving it:) If he's not sliding down it, he has it up against the couch and is jumping onto the couch from the top of the slide...I'll have to get a video because it is too funny!

Conall's check up

This morning we had Conall's first official check up! He weighed in at 7 lbs and 8 oz and measured 20 inches long (they said he was 18 1/2 inches when he was born, but we don't think that was right...unless he grew an inch and half in 11 days!). His heart and lungs sound great and he's due back for another check up in a couple of weeks:) This morning was also the first time that I took both the boys anywhere by myself! I'm proud to say we made it to the appointment on time...I was even able to take a quick picture before we left!

A box...

is the coolest thing for our little guy!

One week old!

Well, it's been 7 days since Conall has graced us with his presence! He's been a wonderful baby so far, sleeping great and eating like a champ! So many dirty diapers!! His cord fell off today, which makes me happy...only one more thing to heal:) He's awake and alert a lot more often now, but somehow sleeps through all the noise his big brother makes! Here's Conall and Declan at one week old, do you know which is which?! Conall is on top:)

Big Brother Declan

Declan is being a great big brother to Conall...so far:) He likes for him to have the bear that he got for him and he even gives Conall kisses!

Grandparents:)

Here's some pics of Gram, Granddad, Ya ya and Pop pop meeting Conall for the first time!

Conall David O'Rourke

Boo 2 is here! Conall arrived Thursday, June 17 at 8:55 am, weighing 7 lbs 4 oz and measuring 18 1/2 inches. I was going to put up a post about our 37+ week appointment, but he beat me to it! After Declan's doctor appointment we went to ours where Dr. Adams did a light check (she didn't want to start anything) and I was just over 5cm. She told me to stay close to home and call if I felt any contractions. So after lunch, Declan and I went to the pool! During dinner that night I felt a few light contractions, but went about our normal night giving Dec a bath, putting him to bed and then BC and watched some tv. Around 10 pm I started feeling them again, but they were about 20 minutes apart so I didn't think to much of them. After going to bed, they picked up and were 10 minutes apart, so after getting up and calling our doctor we were on our way to the hospital! As we were driving BC noticed it was past midnight, so we were safe from having Boo 2 on Dec's birthday:) After getting checked in I got the epidural around 4 am and they started Pitocin around 6 am. Dr. Adams arrived around 8 am and said it wouldn't be too much longer...after 1 set of practice pushes (2 1/2 pushes) and 1 real set (4 pushes) Conall David O'Rourke came screaming into the world! I think we were both surprised that he was a he, but couldn't be happier or more blessed to have 2 healthy boys! We think he looks Declan did, but with a smaller, slimmer face:) We came home Saturday morning and had a pretty good first night...I forgot how hard it is to change little diapers in the middle of the night! This is BC's second Father's Day, but his first with his 2 boys! I will post many more pictures soon!
