Tomorrow

After four months of being clueless of where we are going to be moving in April, tomorrow we are going to find out. We are both extremely excited to hear the news. The options that we have heard about are Emery, San Juan, and Kane County in Utah. All are basically out in the middle of nowhere. Where ever we go, it should be a fun few years.

Here are a few updates of baby Maxwell!

YAY!!

BEN IS GOING TO GRADUATE IN APRIL!!!!!!

WOW 2 months already!!

Max had his 2 month check-up yesterday. He currently weight 10lbs. 11oz. and is 23 inches long!! He's in the 25-50 percentile for both of them. The doctor said that he is gaining weight just fine now, and that I should keep doing what I'm doing. I stopped breast-feeding him...I couldn't do it anymore. Maxwell also got his shots, 3 big ones right in his thighs. I felt bad for him. When the nurse gave him his first shot, I think he held his breathe for 15 seconds, turned bright red, and then let out a huge cry/scream. Poor little guy he cried more for the shots than he did for his circumcision.

Smile

Today I tried to get a picture of Max smiling. He's been getting better at it everyday. This was as good as I could do. You can totally see his little dimple though. He's adorable.

New Year's Eve

We had a great New Year's Eve this year. Peter knows how to throw a party. It was really fun to celebrate it with lots of family around. Adam's family came up from Vegas and my mom was here to see Max. Maxwell got to experience his first pizza making contest. He actually slept through most of it. Hewas even partially awake for the New Year's Even bang.

Ho Ho Ho!

It's the most wonderful time of the year. Well not so much for us. Christmas wasn't really Christmas this year, since we spent it in the hospital with baby Maxwell. In the morning, the doctor came and saw Max to see if he was going to be able to go home that day. The nurse the previous night had told us that she better not see us the next day. Unfortunately, the doctor said that he was staying another day. His number had come down, but now they just wanted to make sure that it was going to stay down. I understand the precaution that they were taking, but this time I wanted to just go home. Lots of babies get jaundice, so I thought we could have just taken him home and put him on lights there. The doctors thought otherwise!!!



One bonus of being in NICU over Christmas...you get lots of cute gifts. This cute little hat came in his hospital christmas stocking

Ben waited a few days to hold the little guy. Whenever we got to take him out of the incubatory the nurses would just give him to me and then they would just take him after he was done eating. A nice nurse finally realized he hadn't held him and let us have some extra time. Ben really enjoyed it! He's a great dad.
