3 weeks old

Little Chase is 3 weeks old now! Hes just about back at his birthweight of 7 lbs and 14 oz! Hes still such a tiny peanut! Newborn clothes are still big on him. It so odd compared to his much larger brothers. But im really enjoying my little peanut baby! I love it when they are small. Hes starting to wake up more now. For sometimes up to an hour, just watching everyone. Its nice.

Not getting any sleep, and thats not so nice, but that is life with a newborn after all.  There is no such thing as a good nights rest when you have children, specially three young ones! But im managing.

Having three kids is different. Conner isnt the baby anymore and he has to get used to that. We all have ajdustments to make.

BUT we are all managing.

First Day of School

Its one of those defining mom/ child moments, Your baby goes to their first day of school. All dressed up in some of their fav clothes. Ready to go. I think its the moms that are more teary eyed then the child. I have no fear that he wont like school, or that he wont get along with other children. I know hes going to do great.

Its just thinking back to the little baby he was, and how big and smart hes getting. Watching him grow, even if he is a grumpy boy most of the time. Hes still learning and growing. Figuring things out.

And now hes off to school.

Today dad dropped him off, and this afternoon he will ride the big boy bus home. At 3 45, i gotta be at the end of the road, brothers in tow, to collect Brennan from the bus. And hopefully he will have lots of stories about school, his wonderful teacher ( who i met last week, great lady, her husband was my sisters 3rd grade teacher hehe) and hopefully make some friends!

Have a wonderful first day Brennan!

One whole week

Mr Chase is one whole week old today.

Hes just a perfect lil boy. He is so sleepy all the time, which caused some weight loss of about a lb. ( not good when he was so small to begin with) but hes nursing much better now and gaining properly.

Big brothers Brennan and Conner have been doing great with him. Brennan was only home for 1 day before going camping, but he was always wanting to hold Chase. Conner loves holding him too, but only for a few seconds before he is “done!”

Chase is sleeping for 4 hours at a time, so good for night sleeping! And spends most of his nights in his bassinet, as long as one of my teeshirts is in there. Conner is also sleeping in the pack and play, leaving the huge king sized bed oversized for Tony and I. We feel so dwarfed. But its the first time really in 5 years that we get the bed to ourselves ( except when the kids were with my parents) so its awesome.

Chase is so tiny. Even newborn sized clothes are big on him, but hes going to grow, eventually lol.

Anyway here are some recent photos.

Meet Chase

While he is happy!
Meet Chase.

Taken at the hospital, just a day old.

Chase Sebastian

Our newest guy was born 8-8-09 at 9 12 am.
He was an itty bitty 7 lbs 14 oz, a full 3 and 4 lbs smaller then his older brothers, and was 20 inches long.
So far he has slept for 12 hours and is currently snuggeled on my chest,
We had a bit of a complicated birth, his cord was around his neck and was causing huge decels in his HB, so it was a very painful but quick expierence that included a rushed epidural ( just in case i needed a section, his hb was dipping to the 30s ) and delivery in one contraction.
But he is here and doing well. We hope to go home in the morning.

Wordless- Look, i can do it on my own!!!
