Growing Fast

We had Lakers follow up appointment this afternoon. As long as he gained weight in the past week 1/2 the doctor doesn't need to see him again until his 2 month check up.......He has gained. Corey and I had bets on how much he weighed. I said 6lbs 2oz, Corey said 6lbs 8oz. Laker weighed 6lbs 7 1/2oz. Corey was closer but went over so according to the Price is Right rules I win!! He has grown in length also and is up to 19 1/4 inches. He has changed so much already and is just amazing to watch.

Mommy I can hear!

This morning we had to go back to Boven Birthing Center to have Lakers hearing re-checked. He failed the test in his Left ear after he was born but today passed both Right and Left side. It looks kind of scary with all the the cords and wires but he didn't seem to mind one bit and slept right through the entire test. Which surprising to me they want him to be in a deep sleep because they monitor the brain waves to determine if he can hear.

We have his 2 week Doctors appointment tomorrow and Corey and I have bets on how much he weighs now. I will let you know who wins.

Week 1

So we survived our first week as parents. Yeah!!!!

What fun and what a change all at once. We have been blessed by many friends and family members by visits, food, and of course the cutest baby gifts. Thank you to everyone. We seem to be adjusting well as parents and Laker is adjusting to us. So far he has been a WONDERFUL baby, he is eating great, and sleeping in his crib no problem. I even have to wake the little guy up in the middle of the night to eat, not complaining by any means on that one, this momma is getting some good nights of sleep. Laker is already growing a ton and has even out grown a few of his preemie clothes, the newborn ones are still huge but maybe in a few weeks he can grow into those.

We can already see very soon he will start to be a little stinker, I blame that on his daddy, so we are praying he is fussy during the day and not at night for me (as many of you know I love my sleep) What a journey we begin and are so excited to share this part of our new life with all of our wonderful friends and family. God has truly blessed us!

Happy Birthday Sadi

Today my Sadi Girl turned 10 years old, hard to believe how fast a decade can go with a best friend like her. She is ageing fast, some hip problems and a torn ACL but she is still just as happy as can be. In her 9th year of age she first got Bailey as her best friend and new brother and Corey as her new Daddy (who she like's more than me most days). And now this week just in time for her B-day she got a little brother Laker who she LOVES to pieces already. Hope for a few more great years like this one for you Sadi.
