Not much to report, just enjoying our time together. I go back to work in a week and a half...not sure how that time went by so quickly!! 

Jordan is working on making and keeping eye contact and "real smiles". He almost has the smiling thing down! He is still sleeping well, taking a few longer naps during the day and sleeping a 4-5 hour stretch at night. 

Em is totally in love with Jords. I'm very proud of how she has been through all of this! First with me being away in the hospital on bedrest, then home on bedrest (in some ways harder on her!), then back in the hospital. Then all of the back and forth with the NICU and Jordan needing extra attention with Dr. appointments. She always show so much love and care for her baby brother and (for the most part) is ok with him being the center of attention. 


 This cutie melts my heart! 
 Staring contest!

Rolling Over!

Big milestone moments over here! First, last week with Jordan went to the doctor he was up to 8lbs 4oz (I have not doubt that we've hit 9 by now!) and 21 inches long, which means he is finally bigger then Em was when she was born! Also, Jordan rolled over from his belly to his back for the first time. Way to go! He also had another head ultrasound/neurosurgeon appointment last week and everything still is progressing and improving, which truly is amazing! Finally, Jords slept "through the night" for the first time last night (about 11:30-5:30). 

Em went with Nana this week to NC to visit cousin Jenny and Brianna. They got to ride a plane, go to the beach, basically have a ton of fun! We miss our little girl like crazy and cannot wait for her to get home Tuesday! It has been far too quiet in our house lately!  
Oh hey!

 Me and my best girl!
 Getting ready for the plane ride-had to look fancy!
 Em and Brianna!

Both of our babies had Dr. appointments today. Em is very healthy, and we are told by the Dr. that she is the height and weight of a 6 year old (47lbs and 3ft8inches). The Dr. was very impressed with how coordinated and smart she is (we already knew this!). She had to get 2 shots, and let me tell you, it was DRAMATIC! She is asking for everything in the world to help with the pain (mainly ice cream and oreos...). Yikes.

Jordan also had his weight check today-he is up to 7lbs 9 oz. Yep, you heard that right. Our little guy who was born at 2lbs 14oz has put on over 5 lbs. The Dr. is super impressed with how he is doing (as are we) and said he seems like a happy, healthy baby! He also has actually gotten on the growth curve (only 3% for his gestational age, but still this is awesome!) He also passed his hearing test yestetrday (this was his 3rd time.. so we were a little worried-but he did great!) 
 Tummy time is hard work, just gotta smile and fall asleep!
My love bugs! 

A weekend of Jordan! Celebrating the little guy turning 8!! Can't believe it!
