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...


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

Isaiah Jude Bang
born on July 20, 2009 (our 7th wedding anniversary)
@ 9:06 am
8 lbs. 13 oz. and 21 1/2 in.

He turned 2 weeks yesterday, 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.
