Due Date

Today is his original due date which means Maverick is one day shy of 6 weeks old. He is 8 lbs 8 oz, right on par for the birth weights of his older brothers who were full term babies (Jaxon was 8#9 and Jaeger was 8 even). We had a neuro appointment this morning and got great news. His ventricles look good and are not enlarged. His back has healed nicely as well. No more neuro until our spina bifida clinic day in July!

Some faces of Maverick

I've captured quite a few different face pictures of Maverick over the last week - enjoy!






























Also this guy is now 7 lbs 12 oz of cuteness:)

Celebration

To celebrate Maverick being 1 month old, he got to come on date night to our friends' wedding last night. I took only 1 picture - selfie 😄

Brothers

I always thought that Jaxon and Jaeger looked alike right from the start. Maverick has been a little harder for me to determine who he'll take after. And then I had Maverick's pictures done and I get this one - yup, he is totally a Hughes boy just like his brothers!



He had a weight check with his pediatrician on Tues and is now up to 6lbs 9oz so a nice solid weight gain as evidenced by some cute chubby cheeks.

3 Weeks Old!

Maverick is officially 3 weeks old and doing so well! He had a checkup with urology on Monday and is looking good (plus he peed on the urologist 3 times😄). He got his back dressing off yesterday which means he is done with neuro until the end of this month when he'll have another MRI. And he is now 6 pounds!


Enjoying some fresh air - aren't those cheeks smooch-able?

Random Things

Today's post is a bunch of random pictures from the past few days!

2 weeks old!

Maverick is now 2 weeks old and seems to fit in perfectly. Jaeger just loves his baby brother and wants to help all the time.



I'm also in love with this little man and enjoying some cuddles while he will let me!



Josh and I attempted our first outing as a family of 5. Back seat is full and the 2 year old still doesn't listen very well. We'll probably wait a bit before we do that again 😄



Jaxon had a field trip to a dairy farm yesterday and I went along as a chaperone. He got to milk a cow and feed a lamb a bottle.





Life is good, especially when you get to sleep all the time! Maverick had a couple dr appointments this week, all good news. He's now up above his birth weight by an oz, his back is healing nicely and will have a dressing for 1 more week and his MRI came back with no brain ventricles size increase and a healthy looking spine.
