2 weeks today

It's hard to believe that little Gordon has been here for 2 weeks already. He had his 2 week check up today, and I'm happy to report that he's doing great! He got down to 10lbs 2oz when we left the hospital on the 29th. He's now 11lb 5oz. measuring at 22 inches long. Our peds. doctor: Dr. S. thinks that the hospital messed up on measuring him (which isn't surprising considering how scrunched up babies are when they are 1st born). So I guess you can say that nursing Gordon is going well. I just hope it will continue to do that. Which is almost every nursing mom's concern. lol.

It was also a tough day for Gordon too. He had a procedure done, that's normally done at the hospital.  Since we refused the vitamin K shot, they needed to wait till Gordon was at least 8 days old to have it done. Things so far seem to be going well, he's been sleeping  most of the day, but I think anyone would after that. It was a tough day for mommy too. Hopefully he and his brothers will be glad we had it done, and not resent it.

Spencer is getting more and more enthralled with Gordon. It's neat to watch. Dawn loves Gordon, she has been a huge helper this week, since 1 of my daycare families returned. To be honest I don't know how I would have been able to do it, if she wasn't there to help. Cyril, we have to keep a sharp eye on, when he's around Gordon. It's not that he's naughty with him, it's the complete opposite.  He LOVES him soo much.  Twice I've found him, holding Gordon, even though NO one has helped put Gordon in his lap.

Dawn has had a busy 1st week of Summer break. She has had marching band practice every night.  She has her 1st parade on Saturday. Dawn is very excited about it, and as far as line up goes, is in the 1st row. :)

Spencer and Dawn are also in swimming lessons, already I've seen a HUGE improvement from last summer, both in attention/focus and endurance.  So we'll see if the kids will pass the levels they are in this year.  I have to help fine tune a couple of things as far as skills go, but not to much this year. It looks like things are finally clicking for them. I am thinking of possibly putting Cyril in lessons this year or next year, I'm not sure. I'll need to talk to Jessie about it.

So the last couple of days have been busy and exhausting. I'm really glad that I didn't take on my full daycare this week, because to be honest I don't think I would have been able to handle it. I'm so exhausted as it is. It's been a huge blessing to have several of my MOPS moms bringing us dinner last week and this week. To know that my family has a nutritional meal each night has been a huge gift. Starting next week, I'll be on my own, and I'm nervous, about how I'm going to be balancing all of this.

God Bless
