Story time

Playing with Dad

MsTay loves the trampoline but it's even better with Dad!

Gus's night out

We were invited to accompany Gus to her "prom" for achievement days. First. Had to fill out a questionnaire about ourselves, we had dinner, danced a dance or two and each girl got a a special letter from their dad about how special they are. It was a fun night just for Gus! Love ya sis!

3rd and Final ISAT

Today was Gus's language arts final. This was the one she was the most worried about.
Her goal 196
Her score 216
So proud of you Gus!!

Mr.P is three weeks old

We went for a weight check today and I am very happy to report that he is finally exceeded his birth weight. As of this morning his weight was 8lb 4.5oz! Woohoo so excited. Crazy to think that he is still smaller then handsome was when he was born.

Sleep please

Right now my mantra is not sleep when the baby sleeps, it's sleep when the two year old sleeps. Love that she sleeps in most mornings.

Bye bye

Happy to report that Mr.P's belly button cord finally fell off.
I do love belly buttons!

ISAT # 2

Reading ISAT was today
Goal 192
Score 221
Woohoo good job Gus!!

Thanks Mom

On Easter I dressed MsTay in a hand me down dress of Gus's. When gus saw the dress she asked where I got it. I told her that it was hers when she was little. Her response was awesome "Thanks mom, for buying me cute clothes when I was little"

Lov'n baby p

Two week well baby check he had gained 1/2 lb, he is taking his time on bringing his bili level down so two more days of the blanket.

I think I see some resemblance

We've been having a time finding who Mr.P looks like. But I think I saw a little MsTay in him today. What do you think?

Glow worm

Visitors

Being home means more people visiting which is fun to show off Mr.P. This weekend Grandma C came to stay for a few days. Right now she is upstairs helping Handsome clean his room. Handsome of course is trying to weasel his way out of cleaning with the same technique that he uses with me. She is much more patience then me. In the process they have already found several pieces of his homework. Grandma is so great! Thanks for all your help this weekend.

Friday update

Blood test again- bili level is going down from 19 to 17.9! Progress is progress!!

This is not a competition

But if it was Mr.P would be in the lead. So not to be out done by all his older siblings Mr.P decided that he too wanted to have a turn with the Bili light at home. We went in today to have his little stitch removed from his chest and to check to make sure everything still looked good, and it does other than he is YELLOW! One point away from being readmitted to the hospital. My Love says it's probably just because he misses all his cute nurse friends in the NICU. I can't help but think it's a conspiracy.

Gus- 11 hours of labor from the time my water broke, bili blanket 3-5 days, a little chilly incident
Handsome-11 hours of labor from the time my water broke, 2 extra days in hospital and a bili blanket at home for a week
MsTay- well you can read about most of it here, a few days at home with the bili blanket
Mr.P- He is testing my limits, but that's what the baby of the family does right?

So grateful for each of the blessings, even if they are all working together to make me a little crazy.
