There will be many more beach days in Gage's future..

3 MoNthS oLd
Our baby boy is 3 months old...
He is getting so big and doing so many new things!
Gage is a happy boy.. he smiles and giggles all the time now.
He has mastered holding his head up and is able to sit in the Bumbo chair. He loves to sit in it while i cook/ wash dishes in the kitchen.
He is getting better at sleeping... he goes to bed around 7:00pm and sleeps until 5:30/6am :)
He has started grabbing things in his reach and pulling hair.
We have let him lick watermelon, pineapple and an apple- he loved them all!
Until Next Time...
Happy Thanksgiving

We made the 7 hour drive from our home in South Florida to Grammy and Poopa's (Matts parents) house in Tallahassee, Florida for Thanksgiving. Gage did great in the car.. we left at 7:30pm so he slept thru the whole drive!
We let him try sweet and mashed potatoes... he liked the mashed better :)

Gage: 2 months old
Gage is 8 weeks old! he showed his first smile at 7 weeks and 2 days old (Grammy was the first to see it....then he smiled for mommy and then daddy all in the same day). He smiles every morning and sometimes during the day.. each day it gets better and better... :) He is also starting to "coo" when he smiles...
That little face makes all the long nights and fussiness worth it!

Baby Gage has arrived!!!!
At exactly 38 weeks, Gage decided to make his debut!!!
So heres the details...
It was a lovely Saturday afternoon and naturally we were at a restaurant/bar watching the Florida State Football game. Everyone knows that watching football involves drinking beer (well not for me, but Matt).
After the game I had plans to go to my friend Kim's house for dinner. She made ground chicken meatballs and a delicious salad (fresh spinach, cilantro, black beans, garlic, lime, sale and pepper). As she served me the salad she said "just to let you know, the night I ate this salad, I went into labor." I didn't think anything of that because Gage still wasn't due for 2 weeks (and he hadn't dropped yet, and I was only 1 centimeter dilated).
Meanwhile, Matt had his friend Chad pick him up, and was down the street from our house at the Beirgarten. He was standing outside when I got there to pick him up, talking on his phone. I asked who he was talking to and he said "I was ordering pizza so its at the house when we get there."
We got home, Matt ate his pizza (5 pieces!!!!) and then we got ready for bed. I had just washed my face, went to the bathroom and changed into to pajamas. Matt said something funny and made me laugh and I "peed my pants." However I had JUST peed!!
Sara: "Matt, my water just broke"
Matt: "haha nahhh... no it didn't"
Sara: "no I swear on our marriage.. my water just broke!!!!"
I sat on the toilet just to see what would happen and sure enough... my water "broke again." I still didn't believe it, so I changed my pajama pants, got into bed, and GUSHHHHHH.
Sara: "ok Matt, its time.... call Dr. Chen"
Thank God Matt had 5 pieces of pizza (and the hospital is just down the street from us)... because guess who drove me to the hospital?!?!
We checked into the hospital Saturday night at 11:30pm... and because my water broke they admitted me. Gage still had not dropped and I was still only 1 centimeter dilated. They started me on pitocin to induce my contractions... they started to get worse and worse and by 8:00am i demanded the epidural!!!! Still nothing was progressing :( The doctor said, if I wasn't 10 cm dilated by 5:00pm I would have to get a C-section. At 4:00pm I told the nurse I started to feel "something" and she needed to go get the doctor.
Nurse: "Don't worry, Dr. Chen will be here in a few minutes"
Matt: "Hey babe, my parents just got here (they drove 7 hours from Tallahassee), Im going to go downstairs to get them ok?
Sara: "Matt, you can't leave now... I know Im about to have Gage.. and Nurse, you NEED to get Dr. Chen NOW"
Sure enough she had me do a "practice push" and the top of Gage's head was right there!!
She ran to get the doctor and 4 pushes later Gage arrived at 4:44pm!! I think he was waiting for Grammy and Poopa to get there, because the minute they got to the hospital is when I started pushing.
