1 month stats

So decided to go with Blogger for now, despite Peter's recommendation to do Wordpress. WP was just more than I needed. I just want to record my kids milestones and memories.

We went to the doctor last week for Jude Dude's 1 month appointment. In two weeks he had gained over 2 pounds and an inch! I can't believe how fast he's growing!

Weight: 11 lbs. 9 oz. 90th percentile

Height: 23 in. 90th

Head 15 in. 50th

He's such a great baby! He's already been smiling at us, gurgling the classic "a-goo" sounds (which I adore btw!), and seems so responsive to our faces and voices, especially N. He's still waking up a couple of times at night, but will usually go about 4 hours between feedings at night. He's feeding well, and seems to be a decent sleeper.

Peter and I are not sure if we will have more kids yet, so I am trying to savor his "baby-ness" as much as I can!

Our little chunker monker!

2 Weeks and 4 Year Checkups

I know you all already know this, but just to make it "official"...

8 lbs. 13 oz. and 21 1/2 in.

He turned 2 weeks on Monday, and he is doing very well.  He already seems like such a pleasant and sweet boy.  We had his check up today and here are his new stats:

Weight: 9 lbs. 2 oz.   75th percentile
Height: 22 in.           90th percentile
Head: 14 1/4 in.       25th percentile

He's feeding really well, which is such an answer to prayer.  I was not able to nurse my other two longer than a month, due to complications, so I ended up exclusively pumping and bottle feeding them both.  So far, things are going well, and it looks promising.  I would say that the first two weeks have been great recovery wise.  The most difficult part is feeling so tired all the time, and not really being able to take naps.  Most of the day (and night) I feel like I'm feeding Jude Dude, but I'm def. not complaining about this.  I am SO grateful!






He's already loved by his brother and sister.  Kisses and squeezes all day, and lots of hair rubbing.  I think this little dude will develop a lot of tolerance!  Anyways, he's a gift to us, and a joy to be caring for him and raising him. 

Naomi had her 4 year checkup at the same time.  She had to get 4 shots, and was super brave!  They were great - a nurse on each side.  On the count of three they each gave a shot, and then the next, so they were done in no time!

Naomi's 4 year stats:
Weight:  36.4 lbs     50-75th percentile
Height:  40 1/2 in    50-75th percentile

So I'm thinking about changing over to Blogger or Wordpress.  What do you think?  Not many people seem to be on Xanga anymore.  I might possible make the change soon. 

Newborn and a New Start

So I'm finally making the switch over from Xanga. Peter's been telling me to do this for a while, but I'm the type that likes to stick with what's familiar, and I don't deal well with change. But for some reason, I'm feeling the need for this change. We'll see...

So anyways...
