No Appointments!

Last week was our first week without any appointments and Josiah was in fine form!  It was also our first week being completely solo in our house overnight (just the four of us).  Isaac has still enjoyed lots of fun trips with his grandparents during the day (apparently he's a fan of Home Depot).

Josiah is an excellent eater and for that we're so thankful.  He's certainly not having trouble gaining weight.  We visited the paediatrician this morning and Josiah weighed 11 pounds 12 ounces.  Last week we made our first attempt at introducing a bottle to Josiah.  He was not impressed.  It is important that he learns to drink from a bottle so that if/when he has surgery, he is able to be fed from a bottle while recuperating. 

We were recently blessed with the gift of a double stroller.  Both boys enjoyed their first joint stroller ride to the library.  Josiah's favourite place to be is snuggled up in a wrap on his mommy.  The stretchy wrap has not failed to soothe him when he's fussy - another great Kijiji find!  Josiah was giving out some smiles today which was a nice change from his cries - he seems to get a lot of gas. 

That sums up our news.  Our next appointment is scheduled for next Tuesday at McMaster. 

A few prayer requests:

• That Josiah remains balanced.
• That Josiah learns to drink from a bottle and also keeps nursing well.
• That Josiah would consistently sleep in his crib at night.

Thanks for your support and prayers!

Blessings,

Elizabeth and Graham
