Just an update

Hi all!!  Sorry I haven't been on lately.  I have been so busy trying to get into a routine of having 4 kids!!  Draeven is doing great.  He surprised us by coming 3 weeks early!!  He was 6 lbs 15oz at birth, but now weighs a whopping 9lbs at 5w old!!!  He had jaundice when he was born, so we had to keep him under bili lights at home for the first 10 days!!  I am starting to get the breastfeeding thing down!!!  I just need to get this little man to turn his nights and days around so I can start getting some sleep!!  It's all worth it though!!  I had some problems healing from having him.  I got 11 stitches, and somehow, they got pulled too tight and got tangled, I had to go in to have a couple of them cut out.  Then on of them got an infection.  It was so bad I couldn't sit, walk, or even stand!!  Back to the doc I went.  He had to lance open the infection, and put me on an antibiotic.  I think I am finally good to go again now though!!  I hope everyone is doing well, trying to catch up to see who is left, and who has had theirs!!  Good luck to all of you and best wishes!!

hey i didn't see this when i posted a how are you in the other post!

sorry you had trouble w/ healing afterwards, but i'm glad everything is ok now!  so if you've been trying for 5 weeks to get a routine down w/ your 4 kids, then i've got a lot to look forward to w/ my 4, huh?!?!  

i had Nolan 13 days ago.  he weighed 6lbs 14.6oz and since then he's gained 14oz already!!!  :)  i'm breastfeeding too and i had some concerns in the beginning but both of us are getting the hang of it now!
