2 months!

I can't believe how fast this past month having Jaron at home with us has flown by. The month before that when he was in the NICU seemed to drag on an on and I would find myself saying its only Monday ??? We are glad to be past that point in our lives but we still have tt make weekly trips to pediatritians, nutritionist , orthopaedic surgeons ,urologists along with other specialists.. .the list goes on but having him sleep in the bassinet next to me is worth it.

Ryker is slowly starting to adjust to Jaron being home . he has become a mamas boy and everything is "mama mama" but he loves to rub jarons head and say "baba" it's really the cutest thing I love having 2 boys .

Jaron got his 2 month shots today , it was heart breaking but we made it through! He is now 18 1/2 inches long and 6 pounds 9 ounces he has nearly doubled his birth weight. He is such a well behaved baby. We had an appointment with the eye specialist and ended up waiting for 3 hours and he was so good ! He is a good sleeper. He has gone 6 hours  at night...but don't tell the nutritionist. he usually gets up only twice and eats and goes right back to sleep! lol being a preemie they tell you not to go longer then 4 hours without feeding him but if he is sleeping I'm going to let him sleep !

He is so unlike ryker , he will only take a soother when he is hungry unlike ryker who wanted it all the time. He enjoys tummy time and rolling on his side which ryker hated. Ryker loved the car seat where as Jaron isn't a fan, maybe it's because he is so tiny we will wait and see if that changes. The one thing they do have in common is their muscousy noses ! I have two snorers on either side of me at night .
He is still on added calories where I add neosure to his bottles twice a day. I will be glad when that is done so I don't have topump every day. He has bad reflux and is still on rranitidine to help him feel better when that happens. ( its like zantac for babies)

Today we signed the papers at the lawyers . in 2 days we will be home owners. I am so excited for this stage in our lives. I am looking forward to being able to decorate and make it feel like home.
I never understood postpartum depression until now..even though it still shocks me but I never knew how you could be sad with a brand new baby. Its tough to say the least but am getting better now that Jaron is home. Still difficult to talk about.

This past weekend the flood hit medicine hat.luckily it wasn't as big as they were anticipating but lots of people in the flats were evacuated and have some damage to their homes my heart breaks thinking about having to leave everything behind and not knowing what will survive. Blake was out all weekend helping sand bag . the city didn't seem very organized at the beginning but really pulled together and did a lot of damage control. Things could have been a lot worse glad we were able to prepare for the rising water.

Now for some pictures!!


















this is the same build-a-bear outfit that Ryker wore when he was little.
except Ryker filled it out quite a bit more!

Oh it's good to hear that things are going much better for you. Nothing like having baby finally home! Also good to hear that you are safe from the floods. What ward are you guys in? Our daughter and husband and their little girl are in 3rd ward. Jon was out sand bagging a lot too this week. ; )

P.S. LOVE your family photos.

Glad to hear that he is growing well. It is hard with Post partum...if you ever need a listening, ear, do not hesitate to call. I have been there, I understand. :)

Congrads on becoming home owners.

That was kind of crazy with the sand bagging, for sure. They were definitely not prepared for that many to show up on Saturday, but were sure ready for us on Sunday.

The pics are cute...really like the one of ryker giving Jaron a kiss...PRECIOUS!!
