If you recall, this past summer we announced that we would be having Baby #3 in March. Well, he decided he didn't want to wait that long and made his appearance on February 11. (I had super high blood pressure and had to be induced a month early.)
Our little guy, Koen Scott, was a whopping 5 pounds and 19 inches long... not bad for a preemie. When we left the hospital he had lost 10% of his body weight and was down to 4 lbs., 8oz. The first month was a bit tiring, as the first month usually is with a newborn, but we were on a pretty tight feeding schedule to try and get him up to a safe weight. It was all worth it though... at his two month check up, he weighed in at 9 lbs., 8 oz.
We are now at 2 &1/2 months and we have one very happy little boy. He is starting to smile a lot more (not just the gassy smiles) and he has even laughed a couple of times. Since he is our last baby I want him to take his time growing up but he seems like he wants to do everything in hyper speed. I saw him roll over the other day and freaked out. I am just not ready for that yet... luckily it was a one time thing as he hasn't done it since :)
Big sister and brother have adjusted better than I expected. They are great with him... well, most of the time. Big brother likes to get in little brother's face and kiss him a lot so we have to remind him to take a step back and let him breath :) Otherwise the older kids are very helpful... they have been great at holding him or retrieving things I need.
Our first night in the hospital... look at all that hair!
At home trying to relax :)
The day we brought him home... he looked so tiny in that big car seat.
