More Koby...

The other morning Koby was "talking"... or cooing I guess...aton. By the time I got the camera we only got the end of it. This isn't the most exciting video but it is for the grandparents!


Rach came over the other day and helped me stamp Koby's hand and foot print to scrapbook... it was a joke! By the time we were done he had blue ink all over his face too.














I know he is over the weight limit for the newborn diapers but they still fit him! He gains all his weight in his upper body and he still has no butt and chicken legs!


















Last weekend we moved from Provo to Lehi. James' grandparents bought a 3 story house with a basement apartment that we are renting. It has 3 bedrooms! It also has a living room that is about 3x the size of our old one... we were able to buy couches now! Ill post pictures when it looks a little more set up. Here are some pictures of our old apartment though. Now Koby has his own room too - no more crib next to our bed!!

Our little apartment was great! We miss it. And believe it or not, we actually miss Provo too!

Two Weeks!

Two weeks:













Yesterday was the two week checkup... In two weeks Koby has grown 1 1/2 inches and he is now 8# 11 oz! The doctor's said his weight was in the 50th percentile, but thanks to James his head size is in the 80th percentile (along with his height). We must be doing it right because he is growing!

Koby is such a good baby. Whenever we change his diaper we tell him to straighten his legs and he does! haha. He stiffens them so they stick straight in the air. I'm trying to get a picture, but I keep failing - it's so funny!



























On Tuesday my mom left to go back to Washington. She was here for almost 3 weeks and was VERY VERY helpful! We are missing all of her home-cooked meals, BUT she did leave us with a fridge/freezer full of food. Koby and I miss her- I think he gets bored of just me during the day. I am grateful to my dad and Em for letting my mom come that long. Thank you!
































I caught him sleeping like this today... how cute! He looks so peaceful... little did I know he'd wake up screaming 2 minutes later because he peed through his clothes onto our bed!

The joys of a baby

Up for a 2 am feeding... thought I would post some pictures...

Who would have thought someone so small could poop so much! This is the second time we have changed the Genie!
















Getting him sunlight...













After Koby eats he always smiles to show how satisfied he is! I caught this one on camera...














He loves his vibrating chair from Aunt Shannon...













Just after a sponge bath...

















And last but not least... On Wednesday I was looking at his little feet and I noticed something for the first time... Koby has two partially webbed toes! Haha, how had we not noticed until he was 6 days old! They are kinda cute though...













He is a week old and he is already getting so big! James and I love being parents and we LOVE Koby!

KOBY is here!!

January 28th - 6 days over due, and Megan is feeling pretty uncomfortable.

4:00pm - Go into the hospital for first dose of gel to soften the cervix in preparation to be induced. Contractions start and continue to get stronger.

10:00pm - Went back to the hospital for second dose of gel. When the nurse checked to see how Megan was progressing, she said she was dilated to a 4 and admitted us into the hospital. No induction necessary!

January 29th
1:30am - Megan was dilated to a 6 and the contractions were getting pretty painful and she requested an epidural. It took over 45 minutes for the doctor to come and administer it to her though. So she was dilated to about a 7 when she finally got it.

2:15am - Epidural is in, and it was like night and day. Megan and I watched Miss Congeniality. It was that or "Down with Love."

4:05am - Megan is fully dilated, and begins pushing.

4:50 am- Doctor comes in to catch him...and

4:52am - Koby James Huntington is born!! He weighed 7lbs 9oz, and was 20 inches long.

I know all parents think their babies are the cutest, but he really is the cutest baby! We LOVE him!

The doctor's were wrong...

40 week picture....




















The doctor called me today... they were wrong on my due date!! I thought I was 3 days overdue but actually I am 5 days overdue! January 22nd was my real due date! The hospital's policy is not to let a woman go over 41 weeks, so I get to start the inducing process tomorrow night! YAY! Next time we post you will see a baby...and NOT a picture James just found online!

We had our baby!!!

Oh my gosh, I'm just kidding. I hope our kid doesn't look like this. Maybe I shouldn't make fun of other people's babies when Megan is due Saturday. Oh well, just crossing my fingers and hoping he doesn't look like this.

So, the other day Megan got mad at me because I was supposed to write every other post, and as you can see I haven't been doing that. The conversation went something to the effect of,
"James, I posted something on our blog today."
"Sweet."
"I have done like the last 5 posts, I thought you were going to do some."
"Ah... Sure."
"James."
"Fine, I'll do the next one."
"Ya right... What are you going to write it about, you have nothing to write about."
"I'll do one. I'll write one about this conversation."
"You're a retard."
That was the end. So here I am, posting on our blog because my beautiful wife didn't believe I ever would. Ya, that's right Megan, who's the retard now?

I am sure no one reading this post cares, so here is a funny picture...

39 weeks...

...and STILL pregnant! Our due date is approaching fast. Only one week left! I am progressively dilating and effacing so hopefully he will come on time... crossing my fingers. My mom flies in on Thursday! We are excited!

I have finished all my projects - Tuesday I completed a mission scrapbook for James. Since then I have been trying to sleep in as late as possible, space out my cleaning, and take a loooong bath to kill time until James gets off work! Hopefully I can think of another project to get me through the next week...

Here is the HUGE 39 week picture... hopefully it is the last one we get to take pregnant!
