He's really 2 months old?! It goes by
even faster the second time because we're just so busy! Each day goes
by pretty quickly. We're only 2 months away from our move. That
really freaks me out!
Levi is doing very well. We're still
exclusively breastfeeding. He's wearing 3 month clothes. He's
sleeping great (most of the time). He's 24 inches and 10 lbs. The
doctor said that seems a little low.. Ugh. So, I'm working on getting
in as many feedings as possible each day (why do people think you can
make a baby eat... ya can't!) and then we'll go back to weigh in on
the 18th.
I'm pretty certain that he's fine.
Plenty of pee/poo diapers, his color is perfect, he's really not
thin, and he nurses about every 3 hours during the day, 4 hours at
night. He's not crying or upset as if he's hungry and not getting
anything. But I understand the doctor's concern. This is his job. He
has to make sure each baby is healthy. Do you think there are some
moms out there that miss the signs their baby isn't getting enough
milk? Probably. Or there are babies with some greater health issue?
Definitely. They can't let any babies slip through the cracks just
because Mom says she thinks it's ok.
Levi is always smiling now :) And
cooing a lot! It's so sweet. Brady is in love with his brother. He
asks for “Baby?” if he can't see him. Brady brings a paci to us
when Levi cries. I can't count how many kisses he gives Levi! And now
he smacks really loud when he kisses. Hilarious. And just the other
day Brady asked to hold Levi. I was stunned. Brady climbed in the
glider and said, “My hold him”. Haha
Brady is huge. Eric and I can't get
over it. He's going to be 3 in a blink. School is still awesome.
I tell Brady, “you're going to school today” and he says, “Go
see friends?” It's nice to know he likes it so much. I love reading
his report every day. They always sing and read about Jesus, make a
craft, jump in a bounce house.. What could be better?
Eric is finished with recruiting soon.
It blows my mind. Sometimes (all the time) the last 3 years feels
like a lifetime. I'm so proud of him for finishing this awful duty
and doing very well on it. We are so ready to move on to the next and
be back in our home! I cry when I think about being back in our own
house. We just love it there and it's ours. I'm also nervous though.
It will be another big transition for us. We're actually used to
recruiting so switching back will take some time. I remember how much
I hated everything about recruiting though, so I figure I'm going to
love going back?! Haha Here's hoping!
