Woohoo...and stuff....


I love this picture, my mom took it in the hospital. I promise - more pics later!


Quick update. Greyson had his two week check up today (okay - so he isn't quite two weeks). But two prayers were answered:


1. With Ragon I had such a hard time breast feeding her, and she didn't ever really gain weight until we supplemented her. Not the same with Mr. Man. He was born weighing 7 lbs. 2 oz, and went home 6 lbs. 9 oz. On week one, he weighed in at 6 lbs 13 oz. Today.....7 lbs 7 oz....WOOOOHOOOO....


2. If you are familiar with Max - my sister Laura's son, he has a rare condition called Diabetes Insipidus. Anyway - it is carried by the Mama's in our family and passed on mostly to our son's. So we had Greyson tested. They do a blood test and test the boy's sodium levels. We did one test in the hospital and it came out good, so we tested again today. And his sodium levels are perfect. In addition to the weight gains and good appetite, it does not appear that Greyson has DI. We will continue to keep watch on it, but for now, we are in the clear. Yeah!!!


Ragon is getting used to Greyson and I think has begun to realize that he is not leaving. So she has accepted it....more like embraced it. She now wakes up and asks for Bubba and wants to hold him and point to all his body parts. We haven't shown her the MAIN difference between the two of them yet. We were thinking by the time she was about 16....is that too late?

Just to make you laugh....I was breastfeeding Greyson at my parents house today. It was just us girls....and the kiddos. My nephew Owen, who is not familiar with the whole breastfeeding thing, came over and stood by me. He looked at me very intently for a few minutes....and then sweetly asked..."Is he chewing?"
