What a blessing God has given. Our family has grown from 2 to 4 so quickly. To answer the age old question of, Will you have anymore?, " we don't know if there will be any further additions." Getting settled in has taken a little bit but it is finally calmng down. We are enjoying the family time together while Chris is off.
We took Jacob to the doctor this past Monday for a checkup
Weight 6lb 15oz
Length 20 1/4in
He is doing well and is a really good baby. He sleeps usually 4 hrs at a time before he wants to be fed. For the first few days home he ate like a mad man, trying to make up for the time he spent in the NICU with no food in his little tummy. I think his lowest weight was 6lb 3oz. He seems to be thriving now, and we can't wait to see what little man he turns into.
Emily is doing really well with him minus a few bad moments. Sometimes I have to remind myself she is only 2 afterall. As long as we make some time for her each day she is good. The first few days home were a real challenge especially since I could barely put the baby down since he wanted to eat all the time Emily is hitting a few milestones lately also. She is taking more interest in the whole potty training world, which I am thankful for. She is talking all the time even though you can only understand about half of it. She will repeat the whole alphabet back to you and is starting to sing the alphabet song. She loves to sing head shoulders knees and toes. It is so cute. She can count from 1-5 and is learning her colors and shapes fairly well. We are so proud. We are going to put her into a mothers day out program at the church to get her a little more socialized with other children. With that and church on Sundays, I think it will make a big difference even though she seems to be getting out of that shy stage all on her own.
I want to thank everyone for their support and prayers while Jacob was in the hospital, they meant a lot to us.
