2 week check-up

Luke is doing great. At his one-week check-up he was two ounces shy of his birth weight. Yesterday, at his two-week check-up he weighed 7lbs 5oz. I was so happy! He also gained one inch and is now measuring 20.5 inches. Everything is looking really good. He's a little confused between day and night and I haven't slept much in the last two nights but my mom is here so I can nap during the day!

Luke a bien grossi. A son rendez-vous chez le pédiatre hier, il pesait 3,3kg et tout était parfait! Il confond le jour et la nuit et je n'ai guère dormi les deux nuits passées mais maman est là donc je peux faire la sieste pendant la journée. Maman est fière de son petit-fils!

I'll try to post more pictures soon. Je vais essayer de mettre de nouvelles photos sur le blog dès que possible!

Meet Luke!

Quick update: Luke Prosper Carlisle was born on November 11th, 2008 at 7:14 a.m. He weighed 6lbs 14oz and was 19.5 inches long. He is healthy and we could not have asked for a sweeter baby. (Prosper was Adeline's great grand-father on her dad's side.)

I am recovering really well from the c-section and probably doing too much already!

Cody has been extremely busy with work and already had to leave for a business trip but I received a lot of help from his mom Patty, as well as Becky and my sister Lléna. Lléna is the best auntie. She loves him as much as I do and has done so much already to help out! So many people have brought us food, showered us with gifts, and it is overwhelming to see the love this little guy is receiving from everyone.

I am looking forward to spending this weekend with Cody and Luke and just being lazy and enjoying our son. (And I should mention that Duke has been such a good dog so far with Luke! and yes, go ahead and laugh...we now have Duke and Luke!)

Tomorrow... Demain...

...we will be parents. Please pray for a healthy baby.

...nous serons parents. Priez pour un bébé en bonne santé.

We'll try to update the blog with pictures as soon as we can.
Nous essayerons de mettre des photos sur ce blog dès que possible. A bientôt!

Little Aggie!

Lindsey created the cutest wreath of diapers and Aggie gear for Baby Carlisle. She made it especially for Cody and he was so excited. Our friends Nicole and LD also gave us some super cute Aggie gear. Thank you!

Surprise baby shower!

Cody's office surprised him with a baby shower last week. They spoiled us with the Maclaren stroller and other goodies. The best gift of all though is this onesie that JoAnn and JJ created. Cody thought it was too cool!

The nursery

Things I still want to do/add:

Drapes for window

Mobile

Toy basket where the big swing is now (the swing will be in the living room)

Letters to spell name of baby above the crib

A few cute frames for family photos
Get the quilt and sham monogrammed

38 Weeks

I had my 38 week appt. yesterday. We had an ultrasound and the baby's weight was approx. 6lbs 15oz. We talked about the c-section in details. It will be next Tues. November 11th at 6:45 a.m. Cody and I have to be there at 5 a.m. but since we won't be sleeping that night it doesn't matter!

I'm so ready now to meet our baby. Boy or girl? What will he/she look like? How big?

This week, I am getting my hair done, my nails done and I'll be grocery shopping to stock up the pantry. This weekend, we will be attending Brooke's birthday party, Owen's shower and I hope that Cody and I will get to spend some time alone too.

The nursery is "done." I need to post pictures. I am missing drapes but Kathy is helping me with that and we will add the baby's name above the crib later.

Plus que six jours, et on saura si c'est une fille ou un garçon! La césarienne est prévue pour le 11 novembre à 6h45 du matin. On doit être à l'hôpital à 5h mais comme on ne dormira pas cette nuit-là ça n'a pas d'importance!!!

A l'échographie hier, le poids du bébé était estimé à 3kg. Je suis anxieuse maintenant et j'ai hate de savoir si c'est une fille ou un garçon, etc.

Demain, je vais chez le coiffeur et je vais aller me faire faire les ongles! Je vais aussi faire les grosses courses!

La chambre du bébé est "prête." Il me manque les tentures mais ma belle-mère s'en occupe et on rajoutera quelques détails après la naissance. Je vais faire des photos et les mettre sur le blog.

Tout le monde va monter en grade mardi prochain! Grand papou, grande moumoune, tata Lléna, tonton Ben, etc.!
