More Pictures of our Baby Boy

Things continue to go well in the Kindt household, although I must admit, we're all pretty tired! Last night we were all in bed by 9 p.m.; today we feel much better. My mom has been here to help out several different days which has helped tremendously. Between her and some other family and friends we've had lots of good home cooked meals. I used to think laundry was never ending, but now have learned that it wasn't bad before. Denver seems to pee or poop through at least one outfit a day. One night it took til the 3rd sleeper after our bath to finally be able to wear a clean, dry outfit to bed.

This family picture was taken at one of our Thanksgiving gatherings.

Denver is always a happy boy AFTER his bath in the evening.

Denver likes to lay on the floor and look around. He loves looking at the lights.

Boppy time!

1st Doctor's Appointment

We had our first doctor's appointment on Friday. Denver's pediatrician is Dr. McKercher (Dr. McKercher was also daddy's pediatrician, and we go to Church with him). When we were at the clinic Denver was a very good boy and only cried a little when we stripped him naked to weigh and measure him. He weighed 7 lbs. 1 oz., so he's above birth weight; which doesn't always happen in 6 days! His length on the other hand was down to 20 inches instead of 20.5, so not sure if the hospital or the clinic measured right. :) Since he's doing so well with everything Dr. McKercher said we don't have to go back for 2 weeks. Mommy is still doing good and so is Daddy, although we're both pretty tired. The nights are going better than the first two. Daddy usually gives him a bottle between 11pm and 2am and then I get up a nurse him around 3-4am and then he's usually up around 6a.m. and then will go back down for a little while again. He's been more alert during the days and easier to keep up so he sleeps better at night, but today we had a sleepy day so we'll see how it goes tonight. Thank you for all your continued thoughts and prayers!

Bath Time Fun

We had our first bath at home last night. Denver didn't quite know what to think. At first he didn't mind too much, but then got mad. Although it was then that he realized how hungry he was as he had slept for 4 hours straight, and we used this to help wake him up so he'd eat better.

Our Bundle of Joy

Here are a couple of pictures of our precious baby boy.

This picture was taken back in the operating room after my c-section. Denver came out screaming and then after about a minute stopped and just stared at his Daddy. Daddy loved every minute of it.

Here we are up in our room, the morning after he was born.

Now we are home and doing well. Our first night was a little interesting as the little guy didn't want to sleep. I think it's because Daddy didn't quite have the thermastat set correctly, it was kind of cold. Mommy caved on her rule the first night and let Denver sleep on her chest for 2 hours so we all could get a little sleep. Well, I need to keep moving, thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. We are so happy to have our happy, healthy baby boy at home (and for Thanksgiving might I add...God is good!).

Denver John Kindt

Believe it or not he's here! Denver John was born Saturday, November 17 at 1:27p.m. by cesarean section after Mommy labored for about 20 hours. He weighed in at 7lbs 0oz. Denver did not want to turn his head to come meet this world, so he was delievered by c-section. We just got home today and are very tired and going to try to go to bed, but wanted to put a quick post up. For some reason it's not letting me add a picture now so hopefully tomorrow I can get some posted, until then visit www.sanfordhealth.org and go to Cradle Roll.

The Waiting Game

Well, we're to the waiting game. We're 38 weeks on Thursday and getting very anxious, not to mention that I'm getting more and more uncomfortable. This little guy keeps growing and stretching my skin to the point I have a numb spot on the middle of my tummy. Things are slowly progressing so this little guy can enter the world, but we're not quite there yet. His nursery is finally done (minus some minor paint touch ups and things).

I gave Evan the job of picking out a life verse for our little guy, little did I know that would mean he'd be sending me a text message during the middle of Church because he liked the scripture that Pastor Tom was using for his sermon and I was at work (he was worried he'd forget the passage and didn't have anything to write it down with and it's not in the bulletin)! Believe it or not I loved the verse and thought it was great. He picked Proverbs 3:1-6. I specially ordered Proverbs 3:5-6 (too expensive to do the whole thing) from Uppercase Living and was very happy with our results (thanks to lots of time of Aunt Kim's help in designing it)!

We have another doctor's appointment on Friday, and then our last scheduled appointment is the Monday after Thanksgiving. Hopefully by then he will be here and we won't have to schedule anymore, but I guess only time will tell. Remembers lots of prayers so I don't have to work Wednesday, Thursday (Thanksgiving), Saturday, and Sunday with less than a week of my due date!

Happy Halloween

Evan and I had fun one night and Evan painted my tummy like a pumpkin. We couldn't find face paint anywhere though so we had to use finger paint which made it a little more challenging. I had another doctor's appointment today and every thing continues to be perfect. She checked to see if I had started dilating and/or effacing and so far nothing is happening, but that's okay, we still have 4 weeks til the due date. She reassured me that she had her babies at 39 1/2 weeks and didn't start doing anything ahead of time so it's still possible for him to come a little early. Evan continues to tell everyone that he's coming on the 24th, but I'm not holding my breath...I'll be happy if we are here on our due date, but am trying to prepare myself for a December baby. Well, that's all I have for an update now. Hope all is well with each and every one of you and thanks for all the thoughts and prayers as we prepare for our little one's birth.
