Baby Boy

Getting a diaper change


Trying to enjoy tummy time

He looks so tiny in his little basketball shorts!

Me and my little man

Still in love with this little boy. I'm having a little bit of a harder time adjusting to being home all day long by myself with a new baby than I imagined I would, but life is so happy regardless of all the adjusting. He's growing and changing so much each day. It's like I don't wanna even shut my eyes for a minute because I don't wanna miss a thing. Actually that's partially not true, I pray every day that I can get more shut eye. . . but anyway. . . I took Treagan to Alpine Peds the other day to meet with our lactation nurse to make sure I was doing everything right. His tummy just always seems so upset! It literally breaks my heart to see him hurt. They weighed Trey at his apt and the porker is already up to 8 lbs! INSANE. He's gained more than double what he's suppposed to have at this point. He's gonna be a tank in no time. Can't wait. They think he's got reflux so we've started the Prevacid. Praying it'll do the trick for him. Well sweet boy, keep growing and making your mommy and daddy so happy. We love love love you!

My Little 2 Weeker. . .

Poopin on Grammy in the tub. What are we gonna do with him!
First Family Picnic


Holy Moly. . . I can't believe this little guy is 2 weeks old already! Pretty sure I already feel like saying, "OH he's just growin up so fast. . ." He's changed so much already which is so fun, but so sad all at the same time! We fall in love with him more and more with each passing day. He had his 2 week appointment yesterday and the little dude couldn't be doing better. He was also circumcised yesterday. He did so well! He made mommy and daddy proud and didn't even cry. It was weird being on this end of it. I mean, at work I'd have like 2 circumcisions a day and it never really phased me. But when it's your own, wow it hurts. So glad he did so well though. Here's his stats:

Weight: 6 lbs. 14 oz. 9th percentile
Length: 20" 27th percentile
Head Circ: 35 1/2 cm 22nd percentile

So for now he's just a little peanut, but he's already almost 10 ounces over his birth weight which is amazing! I guess his mama is shootin out straight cream. I think he's gonna be a tank in no time. He's such a good little boy and we're so happy he's ours! Now we just gotta figure out how to put him on OUR schedule instead of his :)

HE'S HERE!!!

Well. . . Sweet Baby Treagan O Behunin has arrived and we couldn't be happier about it! So it all began early Tuesday morning, August 2nd. We had to be to the hospital at 7:30 for our 9 am C-section. We got to the hospital, got all checked in and within a couple hours I realized I was being wheeled back into the O.R. and that within moments our little one would be here at last! I can't even begin to describe the feelings this mama to be was feelin. I got the spinal block (piece of cake, seriously), and then they layed me back and put a huge curtain up in front of my face. And then finally I look up and I see the man of my dreams, there with me. I guess they don't let the dads back during the epidurals anymore since so many of them would pass out. Anyway, suddenly I felt a million times better. Even with his big puffy white sterile hat, he was the cutest thing in the world. I needed him there. I stared into his eyes as he watched over the curtain at what they were doing to his wife. He had the most adorable look in his eye. I was pretty nervous and shaky and well um. . . crying. But then he'd lean down and wipe my tears or kiss my cheek and give me a little update on what was going on. "They just broke your water. . . I can see the head. . . your doing great, etc."
And then everything was a blur. . . All of a sudden my source of comfort was gone. Kelly was taken over to the baby who was having a hard time breathing. They rushed him over to the corner of the room and did their best to stimulate the little guy. I was praying harder in that moment than I think I ever have. I stared up at the ceiling while they stiched me up. I felt alone and afraid. And then I heard his sweet little cry. Then I heard them shouting out things. 6 lbs. 5 oz!!! 18 and 1/2" long!!! I cried in relief. He was here at last. But how I longed and ached to be able to see him and cuddle him. I didn't realize that I was still going to have to wait another couple hours. YES I said a couple hours! Rude huh? Kelly picked up the little wrapped up burrito and on his way down to mother/baby he stopped and showed me my son. So at least I got a peek. (K and I'll just say. . . my first and honest thought was that he resembled E.T.) I had maybe 10 seconds to look into his face and then they were gone. I stayed and got all stitched up and then they wheeled me into recovery. Luckily my sweet angel mama was there waiting for me. I needed her in that moment I think more than ever. She hugged me and told me how proud she was of me. Then I saw my little sis walk in. So great to see her too! Then they pulled out the video camera that Kelly had taken into the O.R. and showed me my sweet baby.
I was exhausted but so anxious to meet my little one. Finally I was doing well enough to be taken down to mother/baby. I had all sorts of feelings going on. Part of me couldn't wait to see him and Kelly again. The other part of me was nervous. I had heard tons of new moms tell me of the difficulty they had bonding with their baby. I was scared I'd be one of those, especially since I was having a hard time even believing he was mine since I hadn't actually had to go through labor and see him come out. But then they brought him in. IMMEDIATE LOVE. I held him in my arms and finally understood what the love of a mother really feels like. I then had the opportunity to feed him for the first time. He did great. Latched right on and looked up at me with the biggest bluest eyes I'd ever seen. I got to cuddle him skin to skin and could actually feel my heart melting.
Anyway, the whole thing was an amazing experience. One I will never ever forget. We stayed at the hospital for 5 days, which was such a blessing! I totally enjoyed every second we spent there, and was grateful for the extra help while I was trying to recover. Then on Saturday morning we brought our little man home. And the rest is history. Our little family has never felt more right! The Spirit this little man has brought into our home is incredible. Even when he's screaming and swearing at me at 4 in the morning to feed him. Or when he toots and explodes right when I open his diaper. He's the most perfect thing I've ever seen and we are so blessed to get to be his parents! Welcome home Baby Trey! We love you!

Having a baby tomorrow. . .

Our Last Supper. . .


Gosh, you can't even read it. . . But seriously, my fortune cookie the other day said- "Good things come in small packages. Yours is coming!" YES HE IS!


Holly in her Big Sister shirt. She really is going to be the best big sis ever.

Trying out Treagan's swing

Well. . . it's 5 o’ clock in the morning and I have been tossing and turning all night and finally just decided to get out of bed and do something. ANYTHING but lay there and just think. So I'm blogging. I know, I know. I should be sleeping, enjoying these last moments of peace and quiet. But listen everybody. . . I am having a baby TOMORROW! Sleep is the last thing on my mind. Plus, try sleeping comfortably when you have a watermelon under your shirt. It's hard!

Anyway, Kellster and I have had a great final weekend together. We got a lot done and are feelin as ready as we'll ever be to meet our little guy. Friday night we went out with our friends the Skippers. We love chillin with them. Luckily that won't be a last cuz they already have a baby so it'll be easy to cart Trey along when we go with them. And then Saturday for our last date night alone and for Kelly's bday (yeah, yeah I know there's such a thing as a baby-sitter, but still) we went to T-Koto. YUU-UUM. I love that birthday boy.

Kind of a funny story about Holly in Treagan's swing. . . It's funny because we all joke about her weight since we were told when we got her that she'd probably be about 5 lbs full grown. Well she's easily over 9 lbs. So after we got it all put together I turned it on the lowest setting, trying to picture my sweet little bundle sleeping in there. And the thing was swinging like crazy! I started complaining to Kelly that there's no way a little tiny newborn would like that. Then I looked down and saw Holly. She obviously wanted to give it a go. So I picked her up and put her in the swing. Immediately the motor started humming louder and slowed down to a nice rock. I guess that's how they are supposed to work, but it was just funny cuz it made poor little Holly look like a fatso. . . Practically burning out the motor on the baby swing that's supposed to support up to 30 lbs. or something. Ha. We love her!

Oh and I also wanted to post the fam's guesses on how big Treagan is going to be-

(Apparently we are all going to be shocked when I deliver a 10 lb, bald baby. . . since everyone pretty much guessed tiny and hairy!!!)

Me- 6 lbs. 6 oz. 20" A little bit of dark-ish hair
Kelly- 6 lbs. 8 oz. 21" Average hair-brown
Grammy- 6 lbs. 4 oz. 20 1/2" Lots of dark hair
Ryan- 5 lbs. 13 oz. 19 1/2 " Dark hair
Allie- 5 lbs. 15 oz. 21" Lots of dark hair
Gentry- 6 lbs. 12 oz. 20" "Kelly-like" hair
Brad- 6 lbs. 1 oz. 20 1/4" "Cannon-like" hair
Daniel- 6 lbs. 9 oz. 20 1/2" Lots of dark hair
My dad- 7 lbs. 20" Dark hair
Ace- 6 lbs. 1 oz. 18 1/2" Brown hair
Grandma B- 6 lbs. 1 oz. 20 1/2" Lots of light hair
Grandpa B- 6 lbs. 4 oz. 19 1/2" Moderate amount of whispy blond hair
Brandt- 5 lbs. 14 oz. 18 1/2" Light, fuzzy hair
Amy- 6 lbs. 2 oz. 19" Blond, fuzzy hair
Penny- 7 lbs. 12 oz. 20" Brown faux hawk
Jared- 7 lbs. 7 oz. 20" Fully head of brown hair

Can't wait to see what the outcome really is! I guess I better go try and get a few last zzz's. I know I'm gonna need my rest. . . but I'm just you know, having a baby tomorrow is all. And a major surgery. Aint no thang right? I really have been quite nervous about the whole thing, but the sweet hubs gave me a blessing tonight and I really am feeling tons better now. I know everything is going to go well. I'm just hoping I set the record for the speediest C-section recovery ever!!! Alright folks, see ya later! Next post will be all about our newest little addition! YIKES!
