April at One Month

I waited to do this post because our doctor appointment for April was moved to today, so she's technically 5 weeks....but that's okay!

April Hope is now 9 pounds, 3 ounces...exactly one pound heavier than her birth weight...and 22 inches long. (For those who are interested, Chloe was 9lbs. 4oz & 22in. at one month)



She started sleeping through the night (eating for the last time around 10:00pm and waking up between 6:30 and 7 am) on May 25th - her one month 'birthday'. Mom was a-okay with that! :)

April is a very content baby most of the time....Once she gets hungry, everyone knows it! She goes from quiet to very loud quickly!!


She is bringing us lots of joy ~ and Chloe is still loving "Eigh-tol" (the phonetic spelling of her version of "April"). We are thankful that the sisters are getting along!! We can't wait to see April continue to grow! :)

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

34 Weeks

34 weeks and my belly button has popped out :)  haha!  I'm still feeling a lot of movement and today my doctor said everything was great.  Here's some info on our "Baby Brother", as I refer to this little guy with Chloe and April: Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds ( about the size of a cantaloupe ) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor , you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
