Brooks 2 Months

So I have been terrible at blogging and I am going to be

sooooo mad when I look back and I missed blogging 

about everything I did. But I thought I better start now

and have something for sweet Brooks to read about himself.

I am going to go back and write about previous life happenings, 

but since he is 2 months today, I will start here.

I can not believe our little Brooks is 2 months. I should not say 

little, bc he is our biggest baby. He started at 7 lbs 1 oz

That's a whole pound bigger then Ty was and 2 more then Jace

and 3 more then Addie Kate. WOW!!!

Brooks is a great baby. I know exactly what to expect everyday. 

God knows I need that and always provides me babes that stay

on a schedule! Praise you God for that!!!!!!

Weight: 11 lbs 5 oz

Length: 22 inches

Diapers: Size 1

0-3 month clothes.

Breastfeeding and I guess eating about 4 oz every 3 hours in the day

You go about 5-6 hours between feedings at night, but

last night was 7!!

Started smiling at 6 weeks

You are loved crazy by your siblings.

Ty can't get enough of you. 

Our Schedule changes everyday.....

it is something like this though:

 Any where from 7-8 wake from night and Eat

 10 -11: Eat 

1 - 2: Eat

4 - 5: Eat

7ish: Eat

9:30: Eat and go to bed

You stay awake after every feeding for about 

30 minutes and then its back to sleep. 

You sleep between every feeding anywhere from 2-3 hours. 

Your fussy time in in the evenings. But this is only getting 

better. PRAISE JESUS!!!

Brooks Birth Story

Brooks Davenport DuBose

August 19, 2015

3:22 am

7 lbs. 0.6 oz

19 inches

Here we go... this will be fast 

2:06 am - 1st  contraction

2:21 am - 2nd contraction (woke Dan, but know it could 

still be days)

2:28 am - 3rd contraction (I hope in shower b/c you 

can't deliver a baby with dirty hair. Dan also calls

a 4th year OBGYN resident and friend to see if we should

come in. 

2:33 am 4th contraction (5 min apart with in 25 minutes)

we are told to come in a get monitored

I shower fast and I am in constant pain at this point.

2:35- 2:45- blow dry hair (can't go tot hospital with wet hair)

 Dan is packing my bag and waking my mom to tell

her we are going in. Praise God my mom was here!!!!!!

2:45ish - load car and head to hospital (i can barley walk)

2:46 am - screaming starts b/c this baby is coming RIGHT NOW

Dan calls the same OBGYN friend and tells him to meet us on 

the road b/c he needs to delivery our baby. Was going to meet us

at Shipleys Doughnuts. 

2:52 am - pass Shipleys b/c he is not there and we continue to hospital

Dan now calls 911 b/c i told him HE is about to deliver this baby.

3 am ish - get to hospital and everyone is waiting on us b/c 911

had called and told them we are coming. A police officer is waiting 

with a wheel chair to take me up to deliver. Dan has to lift me out of the

car b/c I can't even move. 

3:05 am - up at labor and delivery and they stopped me to talk to 

the receptionist... REALLY?????

I answer 1 question and then a team of about 8 people

bust through the doors to head down stairs to get me. 

Praise God we did not pass each other on the elevators.

They tell me they want to put me on the monitors...again

REALLY?????

one of the doctors ask what number baby this is and I say 4, 

she says nope, lets go deliver. I told them I promise this baby

is coming!!!!

3:12ish am - in the room and get on delivery bed. 

3:15am - time to push with NO epidural and no IV

b/c no time to put one in. 

Had a previous episiotomy with Ty and that skin was 

not stretching at all, so gave me a tiny cut to help

3:22 am - Baby BOY was born!!!!!!!

1 hour and 16 minutes from 1st contraction Brooks was born 

WOW!!!!!!!!

Did it hurt?  sure it hurt, but not like you would expect at all. 

It was neat getting to feel everything happen. It was a CRAZY 

experience but I loved that I got to have a natural birth and feel

everything. Dan and I were soooo relieved to have the baby IN 

the hospital. 

We did not know the sex of Brooks ahead of time and had

heard it was the coolest experience EVER, but honestly

it was not that cool for us b/c all we cared about at that point

was that he was here and was born in the hospital. So when the

doctor said he was a Boy, it was not as exciting as we expected. 

Not to say we were not excited b/c lets be honest....

we both wanted a boy. God is good!!!
