I was playing with a new program.... which one you like best? It's all the same picture, just different edits...

Awesome weight gain

Josh got weighed again on Tuesday. He is a whopping 9 lbs 3 oz. I looked back and he was 6 lbs 9 oz on August 3rd. That is almost 3 lbs in less than 2 months, holy cow! We are so pleased with the weight gain. He is finally catching up. It was such a stresser for awhile. The one thing that I couldn't control. I hope it continues, but won't get too disappointed if he slows down a bit. This large gain can't last forever!

By request

It was requested that I put up some new pictures. So here they are!

It took Arran two months to actually hold Joshua. He finally did last weekend, and enjoyed it so much he asked if he could do it again! He went back to his dads for his two weeks but when he comes back we will make sure that he does it again!




There aren't many pictures of me for two reasons.. first one is I am usually the one behind the camera.. second... I hate getting my picture taken. Most are not flattering.. I have to get rid of a few of my chins before I feel better about pictures!


Here is Josh and Cristien. Note: Cristien is 3 weeks old in this pic and bigger than Josh, but Josh is catching up!

Michele took and added the caption to this photo. WE love the look on Josh's face. He was actually about to cry, but looks like it was a BAD smell!

So here you are. A few more pics. There are more to come as I took some 8 lbs 5 oz pictures that I just have to upload to the computer and haven't done yet. Maybe later!

There you go Terri!

There were no doctor appointments this week except for our visiting nurse who came yesterday. She pretty much comes once a week for a weight check. Before she weighed him, she made sure to tell me that last weeks weight gain wasn't the norm and not to be upset if he didn't gain as much this week. I understand that, and was prepared for a weight gain of maybe 5 oz or so. I was at least hoping for 6 to get us up to 8 lbs. When she got him on the scale, she exclaimed.. "holy cow!". I of course had to go over there and look at the scale. It said.....

Drum Roll please.......

8 lbs 5 oz!

Wow. 11 oz in one week. I know that this trend is probably not going to continue. A normal weight gain is about an ounce a day she said, so seven ounces a week. Let's just pray for normal or better! It would be nice to see the boy catch up to where he is supposed to be at least for his adjusted age which is 13 weeks.

So that is our update for this week. I will definitely keep you all posted for those of you who still check the blog!
