Updates

It's been so wonderful having our sweet boy home for almost a month and a half. We have had no issues adjusting to life at home...

Here are a few things you missed:

-Jett's 1/4 liter of oxygen has been removed and he breathes the same air you and I do!

-He can smile and LAUGH too!

-He enjoys car rides, listening to music, being outside and a lot of attention.

-Jett eats anywhere from 4-6oz of milk every 3 hours and can sleep through the night now (relief)!

-Jett's grown out of his preemie clothes and is about to outgrow his newborn wardrobe...what happened to my little 5 pounder?!

-He is....(drumroll please) currently 8lbs 5oz and 22inches long!

-He no longer likes his pacifier, but loves to naw on his fingers (possibly teething, all the signs are there, no teethers yet).

-He can sit up with help and holds his head without assistance.

-Almost rolling over...so close!

-Jett makes an attempt to stand up but is no where near walking yet.

-He loves water and bath time, we let him float on his back and kick his feet in the tubby (he starts swimming lessons for infants this fall)!

I could go on and on, but our little Jett, who we thought would never make it home, has. And he's thriving and living a beautiful life!

Thank you to everyone who has followed our four month NICU journey and to those who sent out daily prayers and positive thoughts. We made it!

July 8th

This sassy boy is now 7lbs 1oz today 

He reached 19 inches long and attempts to kick his mommy when he's mad.

Life with our Jett is everything we dreamed and more...

Which really means:

-We don't sleep
-we do a lot of dishes (mainly bottles)
-change a lot of stinky pants
-get frustrated when he won't stop crying
-search for pacifiers and rub them clean
-wear clothes with spit up on them
-and shower 3 times a week...(just kidding, but not).

But most of all...

-we love hard
-give hundreds of kisses
-cuddle night and day
-make up songs as we go along
-laugh all the time
-smile all day long
-and thank God everyday for our baby boy.

Our hearts are so squishy and filled with love! This little dude brings so much joy into our lives!

PS-why does God make all the handsome babies so sassy?

Welcome home!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes yesterday as we started our new journey as a family. Jett is adjusting so nicely to our home and his new surroundings.
Our first night last night went well! We have to wake him every 3 hours to eat unless he wakes on his own. Jett is a little night owl and really enjoys talking to us in his baby language at 2am.
He is wonderful and everything we ever wanted in a little boy.
Jett is right where he belongs!
