Joshua's Two Week Checkup

I took Joshua in for his checkup on Thursday. He has already surpassed his birthweight in two short weeks. He weighed 9lbs 4oz and measured 21 1/4in long. He is eating well and sleeping well (considering that he is a newborn.)

We are adjusting well as a family of five. The girls are "little mommies" and love to help me when they can. Jeremy went back to work on Tuesday so it has definitely been a long week for me. Hopefully, everything will get easier as I begin to get more rest in the coming weeks.

Joshua is here!

We welcomed our sweet baby boy, Joshua Kirby, into our lives on February 24 at 2:25pm. He weighed 8lbs 8oz and measured 20 3/4in long. We are all crazy about him!

An update

Well, it looks like I have failed again to find the time to catch up on and keep our blog updated. And, my time will be even more limited very soon...

We will get to meet our sweet baby boy tomorrow. I am going in at 5:30am to be induced. We are all very excited and can't wait to meet the newest addition to our family!

Abigail's Surgery

On Tuesday, Abigail had her ear tubes replaced and her tonsils and adenoids removed. She was such a trooper. Her ENT told us that the surgery went great. We got to be with her in the recovery room. She wasn't quite as fussy as when she got ear tubes the first time (about 18 months ago.) After she finally woke up enough, she ate a popsicle and had some apple juice before she was discharged. We stopped at McDonald's on the way home because we were starving! Abigail enjoyed a chocolate milkshake on the ride home. She has done really well all week and her recovery hasn't been as bad as we were warned about. She has gotten a little fussy at times, but we really haven't had to worry much with her not wanting to eat and drink. And, she has rested a lot so hopefully she will be back to normal in about a week or so. We are thankful for all of your prayers during her surgery and during her recovery period.
