He is 3months old / 3days adjusted




It is so hard to believe that Trey is 3months old...well he was yesterday. The more difficult part to explain is that he kinda has two birthdays (at least to me and the doctors). He has his real birthday April 28th and his adjusted (actual due date) birthday July 25th. These two dates will have a TON of importance until he is 2 years old and will have 'caught up' with other children his age. So, I bought these stickers to put on his onsies for each month he is and they start at zero ( LOL) so, I took a picture of him on his zero birthday and one again for his 3month birthday.

I have to say that as my due date has came and went I have had mixed emotions about it. Part of me is glad to have a happy healthy baby here with me and the other part of me still feels like I missed out on the "perfect" pregnancy and birth that I envisioned for Christopher, Chris and me. I still blame myself for his early arrival, even though I know in my head that I didn't do anything wrong. I guess I just wish there was something I would/could have done differently. But...to be honest my due date coming wasn't as bad as it has been for some of the 'preemie moms' that I know. Probably because Trey is home with me. I don't know how bad it would have been for me if he wasn't home but I won't dwell on that.

So, I have a video that I took and would like to share with everyone..I am in the process of TRYING to catch him rolling over. I had no idea how hard this would be, seeing he does it when he feels like it. It kinda seems like I am trying to catch a shooting star on film.
