Dylan is 10 months old today! I can hardly believe it. My tiny baby is almost a year old!
Where to start with the update? A few friends have reminded me that I said I would post an update about Dylan's developmental visit (Thanks Sarah & Amy!). We went for his developmental check a few weeks ago. We have to go to Iowa City for them, but I really enjoy it. We see a lady named Sara whose specialty is preemie infant development. Sara mostly just plays with Dylan to see what he is doing. She gave him a squeaky duck to play with which he proceeded to shove in his mouth. She also gave him some blocks & wanted him to copy her & bang them together...he put them in his mouth instead. Go figure. She had him pick up cheerios & put them in his mouth. Sara also checks his movement, his weight, & his height. She tried to get a blood pressure, too, but he was wiggling too much...she says that is normal though & that she hadn't gotten one from any baby all day. Overall, he is doing great. He is doing all the things he should be for his adjusted age of 7 months. He is also doing several of the things that are expected from a 10 month old. He is also at about the 50% for his actual age in weight & at about the 3-6% for his height.
We have been working on sitting up & crawling. Dylan does great at sitting up...most of the time. He is still not really crawling much, but he can certainly get to something if he really wants it. He loves to stand & will stand at the couch & then let go & turn & hold onto my leg instead. I think he will be walking soon, as long as he can get some balance under control. He loves Casey, our beagle dog, & while Casey isn't too thrilled with him, he tolerates him & even licks his face sometimes. Dylan gets a kick out of that!
My one area of concern is Dylan's speech. He really doesn't jabber much & never repeats sounds back to you. I often say, “Mama” & “Dada” to him & he will grin really big, but he never tries to repeat them back. His main form of communication is screaming & Derrick & I are not really such fans of that! He screams a lot! I am thinking about looking into Early Intervention coming out & doing some speech therapy with him, but Sara thinks we should wait & that he is doing well for his adjusted age. I know that we have to account for him being a preemie, but I don't want to use that as an excuse. I don't want to push him too much, but I really think he would benefit from some therapies. I will be talking to the pediatrician at the 12 month appointment about it if his “speech” doesn't seem to be improving.
Overall, Dylan is doing well. Even though some days are more tiring than others, we woul

Dylan - 9 Month Update
We just got back from Dylan's 9 month check up & the news is wonderful! Dylan is doing awesome, much, much better than the doctor expected! Here are the stats:
Weight: 20 lbs. 1 oz! - He is at the 40th percentile for his ACTUAL age!!! That is amazing! Last time we were at the ped he wasn't even on the chart for his age. He was also switched off of the Neosure fatty formula to regular formula.
Height: 26 ¾ inches. He's a shorty – 6.6th percentile! No wonder he looks so pudgy!
Head circumference: Can't remember the number, but it was about the 5th percentile.
So, overall, Dylan is chunky & short. But he's adorable! He has 4 teeth, 2 on the bottom & 2 coming in on the top. His eye teeth are the ones coming in on the top, so when they fully come in he is going to look funny! He can roll both directions & can get up on all 4's to try to scoot around. He mostly just gets frustrated & yells though. He is not sitting up much on his own, but he tries.
The doctor is pleased with Dylan's progress. He is developmentally about a 6 month old, but he is about the same size as a 9 month old. We really need to work on him catching up developmentally – I don't know if he will qualify for any early intervention or AEA or if he will even need it. I will probably try to look into that when he is closer to a year old. I figure that speech will probably be an issue, so I am trying to really work with him on sounds & we have been doing some signing...well, I've been doing some signing to him. He doesn't sign back yet or really understand them, but I am hoping that it will help him to catch up quicker. They say most micropreemies (born before 30 weeks) catch up by their 2nd birthday.
So that's the update – Dylan is doing great & we love him more & more every day. He is such a special blessing & miracle. I was looking at him the other day sleeping in his crib & I remember bringing him home & how we would put him in the crib sideways because he was so tiny. Now he sprawls out all over the place in there! It's just amazing what God has done for him! We are thankful everyday for the wonderful blessing that he is!

Dylan Update - July 2009
I thought it was about time for an update - Dylan will be 9 months old on Monday...can you believe it? 9 months ago I was in the hospital thinking I was going to just be on bed rest for the remained of my pregnancy...which I guess was true, but I thought it would last a lot longer! Dylan is doing amazingly great & we are so happy to have him.
Dylan started “army crawling” yesterday. He was laying on his back playing with a rattle & dropped it, so he rolled over & started crawling towards it! He kept hitting it with his hand & pushing it farther though, so he was getting really frustrated. I tried to video it, but he got distracted by the diaper bag once I got the camera out & never did really go anywhere. I'll have to upload it to facebook anyway – it was really cute. He has also been crawling all over his crib. This morning I went in to get him & he was on his belly turned completely around looking at the door waiting for me. Too cute. He has been so happy today.
Dylan has been trying to sit up, but struggles with it because he would rather be standing, so he tends to throw himself backwards. I am not really sure how to help with that. I don't want him to crack his head on the floor, but I want him to learn that that's not a good idea. He does sit up on his own for a few seconds, but then he either flops over backwards or folds completely in half forward. I'm a little stuck on what to do to help him, but I guess he'll figure it out soon enough.
I am starting to realize that he really is a good baby – I don't know what I'll do if I get a difficult baby next time. He has generally slept through the night for months, he has weened himself down to 2 naps & sometimes one evening catnap a day & he is just generally happy. Makes my life as a stay-at-home mom a little better! I am interested to see where he will be at when we go to the ped. on the 14th. I feel like he is doing a lot of the things that normal 5-6 month olds are doing, so it will be interesting to see what milestones he has reached for his age.
The last time Dylan was weighed & measured was the beginning of June & he was 18 lbs. & 25 inches. He's still a shorty, even for his adjusted age of 5-6 months, but he is doing well in the weight area. I think he is even on the charts for his actual age of 9 months! He is growing like crazy! He loves food & really hasn't refused anything we have given to him. He didn't like the carrots I made, but he liked the jarred ones, so I will just have to try those again.
Overall, Dylan is doing great. He is big, generally healthy, & is a happy, happy boy! We still feel extremely blessed that God has given him to us to raise up for Him. What a privilege! God is good!

Dylan on Baby Day - June 14, 2009

Family Update - April 29, 2009
Yesterday was 1 year since I found out I was pregnant. What a year it's been. Who would have thought it would have been such an interesting year. I just keep thinking about what a blessing Dylan has been & how much we have gone through in the past year just to have him here. He is such a miracle.
When I first found out I was pregnant, I was thrilled. Derrick & I had been praying for a baby for so long & were shocked to find out we were expecting! The first part of my pregnancy went very well, relatively no morning sickness or problems. Around 5 ½ months I began to have some issues with not feeling so well, swelling really bad & all around not doing well at all. I was admitted to the hospital here in Davenport on October 1, 2008. After spending the night here in the hospital, I was transferred to Iowa City where I would spend the rest of my pregnancy. Unfortunately, that wasn't very long. Dylan was born at 26 weeks, 6 days at the Children's hospital in Iowa City. He was 2 lbs. 3 oz. & 14.5 inches long.
I can honestly say that I was not too thrilled with Dylan at first. I didn't think he was that cute & I was terrified the first time I had to hold him. I really struggled to bond with him & I think I suffered from a little bit of postpartum depression. As time went on things got better, although I was still often fearful that something would happen to him.
In all, Dylan spent 2 ½ months in the Iowa City NICU. I stayed at the Ronald McDonald House the whole time Dylan was there. He then spent 2 weeks in the Davenport NICU. 3 months in all. He came home on his due date. It has been quite a ride since then.
Dylan is now almost 7 months old. He is getting so big. He gets weighed tomorrow & I am guessing he is close to 15 lbs. (if not more!). He is smiley & giggly & so much fun. We started feeding him cereal a few weeks ago & he loves it. He is a joy to us everyday.
What a difference a year makes. Last year at this time we were wondering what the future would hold for us & I can say that we never would have predicted things would be like this. I don't think that I would change it though. I made a great friend in the NICU. I grew in my relationship with God. I bonded with my son in a way that may have not happened had I not had so much alone time with him. Overall, I think the NICU experience was a great thing for us. I wouldn't wish it on anyone else, but I definitely see it as a positive experience in my life. I treasure Dylan more than I think I would have had he not been born so early & so sick.
I just felt I needed to write this update because I have seen how much God has done for us over the year. What a mighty God we serve! He has blessed me more than I could ever asked for & I can only hope that He continues to bless us all the rest of our lives & that we will be able to use Dylan's story to reach out to others who are going through the same things we went through. I know that God does not take us through trials for no reason & I expect that big things will come from little Dylan's life!

Dylan - 6 Month Update
Hi all! Time for an update. Let's start with the stats – Dylan is now 12 lbs, 8 oz. (or at least he was on Tuesday!) Such a big guy now! He has gained 10 lbs., 5 oz. since he was born. He is getting big & strong. He is smiling all the time now & once in a while we can even get a giggle out of him. He is starting to be a lot of fun – loves to sit up in his Bumbo & likes to talk to us & the turtle on his wall. I think his favorite time of the day is outfit change time – the boy loves to be stripped down to a diaper. He gets so excited...I guess he did spend the first 2 months of his life in just a diaper, so maybe he just feels free again. He also loves bath time. I get the joy of giving him baths & now that I have mastered the art of keeping him covered so I don't get a shower, too, bath time has been great. He doesn't play much in there yet, but he just loves being in the water. He is a blessing & a miracle & I remind myself every day just how lucky we are to have him.
Derrick is doing well. He enjoys his job & is glad that he does not have to stay home every day...that said, he loves being a daddy. He is a great dad, but I knew he would be. He does bedtime with Dylan almost every night & Dylan loves his bonding time with Daddy.
I love being a stay at home mom. There are times when I would give anything to go back to work, but then I get a big smile or cuddle that makes all the fussiness worth it. I really don't mind the diapers, laundry & bottles, especially since Dylan started sleeping through the night. My main issue right now is that Dylan is awake more, but gets overstimulated easily, so it is hard to do things with him. We read, play with toys, sing, play patty-cake, stretch, but sometimes Dylan just chills out in his swing. I feel bad about it, but he seems so content, why would I mess with him? I guess I shouldn't complain though – he used to hate his swing & I couldn't even use the bathroom without him screaming. That is a wonderful change.
Derrick & I are both adjusting well to having Dylan home. He will be 6 months old on Monday (can you believe it?) & he will have been home longer than he was in the hospital. I have a hard time remembering what it was like without him. When I was pregnant I used to worry because I liked it being just “us.” That was what I was used to & I had a hard time wrapping my mind around something different. God is funny that way. I worried, but I thought I would have a lot of time to sort it all out before the baby came. Surprise! Joke was on me. Something about sitting at your child's bedside makes all the little worries about “us” go away. I'm glad God knows how to deal with me better than I know how to deal with myself!
We are doing Dylan's baby dedication on Easter Sunday. I am so excited about it. We get to share our intentions of raising Dylan up to love God & follow Jesus with the church & our family & friends. We have already made that commitment to God, but by sharing it with the church they will be able to hold us responsible if we are not doing what we should be. Ultimately it will be Dylan's decision to do what he will with the knowledge that will be given to him & we will do all we can to raise him to understand God's love. I am so honored that God gave us this sweet little boy to care for & raise up for him. Our goal is for Dylan to grow into a man who loves God.
So that is our update for today. We still appreciate your love & prayers as we raise up our little boy! Thank you & love & hugs to you all!

Dylan - 5 Month Update
Dylan is now 5 months old. I can hardly believe it. At last check he weighed 10.5 lbs & was 22 ¼ inches long. He is getting so big. He has gained over 8 lbs. since he was born. He has recently started sucking his thumb & smiling a ton. He was such a grouchy baby the last couple months & I thought he would be like that for a while longer, but it seems like someone has flipped a switch with him. Of course he is still crabby sometimes, but he is happier more, too. He is beginning to enjoy his swing & bouncy seat which is wonderful because it gives this Mama's arms a break. We sure love him though & enjoy all the cuddles & smiles (the diapers & spit-up not as much!)
I still wonder on an almost daily basis how it can be that we were able to bring home such a little miracle with no major problems. Dylan can see, hear, eat, breathe. Why did God give us a baby with no problems while I know others who have preemie babies with many problems? I am certainly not complaining – I recognize it as a blessing from God. My heart hurts for my good friend Julie though. She had triplets on September 1st at 27 weeks. All 3 babies ended up going home on oxygen & apnea monitors. They have had breathing issues & apnea problems. 2 of them have eye issues. 1 has hearing issues. 1 had a brain bleed. 1 has Down's Syndrome. 2 of the triplets are doing great now & may be off their oxygen soon. Miss Macy, who has Down's, has been struggling. They are still trying to get her formula figured out so she can gain more weight. She weighs less than Dylan even though she was born a month earlier. Her brother & sister each weigh at least 3 lbs. more than her. So pray for Macy & the rest of Julie's family if you have a chance. I know they would appreciate it.
Not much has changed on our end. Dylan is finally sleeping though the night on a regular basis & we are loving it. It makes him getting up at 6:15 every morning seem really good. Derrick & I still alternate nights with Dylan. Hopefully we will be done with that soon & I will just get into a routine of getting up with him in the morning. Derrick is a great daddy & did a great job with Dylan today when I was not feeling well. I am so thankful for him.
That is all that is going on with us. We are just busy with church, family, & a sweet little baby boy. I will try to update more often, but I make no promises. Hope you have a great night!

Dylan - 4 Month Update
I am writing an update while Derrick is holding the baby. He was screaming again, as usual (the baby, not Derrick). He is finally asleep, but I think Derrick is going to have a rough time putting him in his crib. He has to return some Wii games to Blockbuster, so maybe he'll just take Dylan with him.
I took Dylan to his UIHC High Risk follow-up last Monday. He was 9 lbs. 2.6 oz. What a chunk! The lady we met with said that he is developmentally on target for where he should be for his adjusted age of 1 month. We have to watch his head & neck development because he is favoring turning his head to the right. He can turn it to the left, but he usually chooses not to. He can already roll over from his tummy to his back! He has also started smiling at us, though not consistently.
This past Tuesday I took Dylan to his 4 month well baby check with his pediatrician. He weighed 9 lbs. 9 oz. & was 22 inches long. The doctor was very impressed with his progress & while he is still not in the percentiles on the growth chart, he is making good progress. We still have to worry about him getting sick, but he is doing well so far. Dylan received 3 shots & did really well with it. He cried for a few minutes, but got over it pretty quickly. We go back in April for his 6 month check & more shots.
I love being a stay at home mom, although I find myself very tired most of the time. Dylan is quite demanding about being held & will scream & scream if no one picks him up. I just keep reminding myself that the messy house will be there later, but Dylan will only be little for a while. Soon he won't want to be held at all :(
Well, that's about it for the update tonight. I will try to update more often, but it is difficult typing one handed :)
