We went to the doctor with Nolan for his 3 week check up and he was suppose to gain 6 ounces, he did he actually gained 13 ounces and weighed 8 pounds 1 ounce and was 20 3/4 inches long!! He is growing so fast already!! Tomorrow he will be 1 month old already and he wasn't even scheduled to come out till today!!! I guess at this point I can look at his early delivery and point out some good things like his birthday won't be too close to Christmas, I am already adjusting to a newborn, I am recovered from having him already, Donny has more time off with us again, and he is progressing well as a healthy baby!!! We are very fortunate to have another healthy baby boy in our family!!!
Brayden is still enjoying being a big brother, although the shock has worn off, he isn't regressing back to his younger days, he is not mad at either of us, and he is very gentle with "his baby"!! We are still so shocked at how well he has adjusted!!! Donny and I have tried our best to spend time playing with his new toys with him!! Today him and I put together one of his new lego sets!! He was so excited to have a batman lego batcave!!!
One of the last things that a nurse that I have worked with in my unit, that now works in the NICU, said to me was "You won't have to worry about hearing him when he wakes up hungry, he is very loud for as little as he is" is RIGHT ON!!! When she said it, it was very hard for me to hear!! I thought I am the mom why is someone else telling me things about my little guy that I should know, actually that I should be telling them!!! Well, she was right and gets more right with every feeding!! He is a pretty content little man, if you don't let him get hungry!! Sometimes now I just giggle a little because its hard to believe how loud an 8 pound little preemie can be when he is hungry!!! Well I hope everyone enjoys the newest pictures!!!
