A semi normal day

Things are starting to calm down a bit now that we are getting Zoe's appointments taken care of. The boys have been great through all of this, helping as much as they can and being just a great sport. Zoe will be seeing her ped. just about weekly for awhile to make sure she keeps gaining in all aspects. She is now 4 pounds 8 ounces and 17 inches long! She's growing fast! Kaleb informed me today that he doesn't want to leave without his Baby Zoe:) That's about it, nothing to new to report except that Zoe has a follow up eye appointment this Tuesday to check on the blood vessles in her eyes because they weren't nearly as developed as they were supposed to be when they checked 3 weeks ago. Well thanks for checking in!

Zoe's Homecoming


We have expanded!

Now that Zoe Lynn is home and things have calmed down a bit I felt that using the CaringBridge site still would just not make sense. So Bill and I found this site so we can keep everyone updated on all 3 of the kids. I hope you can all hang in there with me while I figure this out as I'm totally new at it! Thanks!

UPDATES!
Miss. Zoe Lynn is doing awesome at home! She is such a calm baby. We had a house full of guests yesterday and she didn't mind one bit! Zoe has been taking about 2 ounces every 4 hours and only woke once throughout the night to be fed. I had to wake her this morning to make sure she ate at the 4 hour mark. She is having some trouble with her reflux today and it wasn't made any better because we had to switch bottles. We can't find one that has a small enough nipple to not choke her. Zoe will be weighed tomorrow by the public health nurse who will be coming once a week to weigh her. She will also start her stuff for Birth to 3. She doesn't have any real delays right now, we are just covering all bases since she did have the brain bleeds and she was so very early.

Kaleb Christopher is doing fantastic and is doing so well since Zoe came home! He loves to help with her, no tantrums so far! He out of the blue this morning asked if he could hold her and got made when I went to pick her up. He always makes sure she's covered with her blankets and that she has her dolly. Kaleb also did the most incredible thing today........GAVE ZOE HIS BUB BUB! Of course he took it back later but that's not the point!! We were in shock!

Andrew is adjusting well. He is having a rough time right now with all the big changes going on at his mom's. Andrew is very excited about starting kindergarten this fall. He is also a ton of help with Zoe and loves to hold her. He likes to help carry her apnea monitor with us when we bring her into another room or when we change her diaper. I just can't believe he is 5 already!

As for Bill and I we are adjusting well. We are trying to smooth out the wrinkles as far as 3 kids goes. We are a bit overwhelmed but we are on day 2, HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT! :) We just need to find a routine once all of Zoe's initial appointments and such are over with.

Well that's about it, I will try to update as much as possible!
