Baby Nolan adjusting!!! Big Brother loves him...

 
Brayden wakes up every morning asking where his baby is! He loves him so much and is adjusting so well to our family of 4!!! We are attempting, like all parents do, to not have his whole world change, but not sure we are 100% successful!! We are so proud of how well he is doing. He asks to hold him every day and only holds him for a minute, but then yells for us to fix his crying and not to let the baby be sad!!! He is an AWESOME BIG BrOTHER!!!
Nolan is adjusting to life on the outside, he is still small with frequently check up with the pediatrician, but is progressing as well if not better than it was thought he would. He is starting to want to eat every 3 hours instead of 4 even at night. We have been practicing head control with tummy time and last night he rolled over from his belly to his back!! I guess he showed me who's boss!! He doesn't want to be thought of as a premie!!! We are all doing well, enjoy the pictures!!!

WELCOME BABY NOLAN!!!

Surprise, baby Nolan has arrived 5 weeks and 1 day early!!! He is here and doing well!! He is still in the NICU because he is not eating like they want him too and he is not gaining weight yet, but we are fortunate that we had a healthy 7 pound 9 ounce baby as early as we did!! At one point we had the biggest baby in the NICU!!! He is starting to look more and more like Brayden!! Unfortunately Brayden has not got to meet him yet because they don't allow kids in the NICU, but he talks about him all the time. He says "I have a new baby his name is Nolan, he is in the hospital to grow bigger"!!! I can't wait for them to meet!!! Nolan is already 1 week old and we can't wait to get him home!!! While waiting for him to come home we are continuing to work on his room, and all of the stuff that he needs and getting the basement finished!! We are almost done with everything including Christmas decorations and Christmas shopping done, presents are wrapped, at least some of them.
