On Saturday our little guy will officially be four weeks old, and on Monday he'll be a month! Time has seemed to fly by! Has gained a lot of weight!! His weight was 7 lbs. 9 oz. last week, and we'll go for our month old well baby check on Tuesday.
We are adjusting to much less sleep, being on call at a moment's notice, and being parents in general. Joshua continues to sleep great during the night, continuing his one feeding in the middle of the night. (We are so grateful!) He has started staying awake a lot more, and he's content to sit in his bouncer looking around. He's such a sweet baby!
We've been so blessed by the meals brought in to us - I (Kimberly) have no idea how we would have survived so far without them! I have spent the last few weeks sleeping when Joshua sleeps, and Keith has been fabulous. He's done laundry, kept the kitchen tidy, and has still been painting in the mornings and evenings, not to mention getting ready for band camp next week. It will be my first week with Keith gone everyday, so we'll see how sane I am at the end of it. :)
Joshua has officially met all of his first cousins on Keith's side! We had a great time with both Eric and Mark's family as they came to meet our new addition. He has also met his first friend, Cooper. Cooper looks so much bigger than Joshua and is only 2 1/2 months older!
Thank you for your prayers concerning Joshua and our breastfeeding problems. We are still struggling through it, fighting to be able to do what most mothers can do naturally. Please continue to pray for us; for God's will in whatever we're supposed to do, whether it to be keep trying or to just switch to a formula only diet.
