family picture

i already put this pic on the sidebar, but forgot to include it in the last post.
our first pic as a family of six...

one week...

has it truly been a week already? seven days ago we were in the hospital waiting to see our little griffin and only six days ago, we brought him home! Lots has happened since our 8:30pm departure last wednesday...

the biggest being that it was pine cove's leadership weekend. baby or no baby, we were going to have about 14 extra WONDERFUL college students in our house for the weekend. it was fun to share the experience of a newborn with them and the weekend went well!

in between pine cove fun, mommy and the kids got use to baby griffin. or maybe i should say that he was getting use to us! HA!

i feel like he looks different every time i look at him... his hair color and face shape seem to have already changed more than once

caught a cute pic of him sleeping the other day... precious child... we are SO BLESSED!

recent stats:
last time we weighed him he was 8lbs, 14oz (the doc says no worries...the bigger the kid, the harder they fall)

AND last night he ate at 11, 3, and 7... only up once in the night... woohoo! Thanks griffin!

Going Home

We just found out from the doctor that we will probably be leaving the hospital tonight. It looks like Griffin has a "Genesis 17:11" scheduled for around 4:30 and if everything goes well, we will be getting out of here shortly after that.

With that said we're great w/ visitors up to that time, but afterward we will probably be scrambling a bit and not very fun to visit.

Feel free to text us if you want to arrange a time tonight to come visit at the house. Prepare to be flexible because we really don't know a whole lot right now.

Visitors

griffin is sporting a new look! "The Sisters" of Trinity Mother Francis made him a beanie and he's loving it!

we've had friends asking about visits and we are ALL ABOUT IT! Come by anytime today. He's feeding times are 11, 2, 5, and 8, but other than that we are here and excited to see everybody!!

Family Pics

The kids got to come up and meet Griffin tonight for the first time. We decided to do it one at a time to keep them from completely destroying the room. They did awesome and everyone of them were so proud to have a new brother. As their father, it was really cool to see.

The Weigh In.

Mama couldn't believe how much he weighed!

Thanks for praying for us. We will try to post more pics sometime this evening once we get settled in the new room.

so much for twiddling...

Nurse just came in to measure and she's fully dilated which means she will start pushing soon. The next post will be after the birth! see you on the other side.
