Weighty issues

Graysen had another follow-up appointment today at the doctor to check his weight again. Great news! He is up to 6 lbs and 12 oz! Finally~we are on the right track to getting this little guy to gain weight.

I am pumping every 3 hours so he can continue to get as much breast milk as possible. And we are also supplementing with formula. (Similac Sensitive since he was puking up the regular stuff). He has already surpassed taking in what I can pump each time so I have come to terms with him getting some formula too. Not what I wanted for him this early in the game, but obviously the choice was a simple one with him not gaining weight those first 2 weeks.

The kids have been home from school for 2 days. Wednesday because of a blizzard and today because it's -20 degrees and the wind chill is even colder! BRRRRR!!!! I still wonder many days during the winter in Iowa why we did not chose to move to some place a little warmer.

Graysen --1 week old today!

Curious little sister wants to check out her new baby brother!

Right after Graysen William was born! He has great lungs!

Here is Graysen being weighed! (6 lbs 6 oz.) He was right in the middle (weight-wise) compared to his other siblings.

Proud daddy!

Do you like my hat? Our great nurse Jessica picked out this Christmas hat for Graysen!

Sleepy baby!

Graysen has arrived

Graysen William Sankey was born on December 23rd at 4:03pm. He weighed 6 lbs 6oz and was 18 1/4 inches long.

He is adorable (I may be just a little bit biased)! At this point, I even think he is still adorable when he is up all night! He was always very active in my tummy in the middle of the night and has held true to that schedule now that he is here.

I have lots of details to share, but not much free time these days! I need to upload some pics and get those on here as well. I will hopefully get them up this next week.

We hope that everyone had a blessed Christmas!

Off to feed the baby!
