Okoboji Fun

We spent last weekend in Okoboji and had such fun with family, including new baby Owen! The 6 hour drive wasn't too bad as maverick slept the whole time and we just stopped for gas and food for all!

First clinic day

Maverick had his first all day spina bifida clinic a couple weeks ago (I know, I'm very late in posting this). The day started at 8 am and ended around 2 where we hung out in an exam room and the various specialists rounded throughout the day. He also had a brain MRI done to monitor ventricle growth. From neuro perspective, all is good right now. He had a CMG done back in June and we reviewed the results with the urologist. This test measures bladder pressure while it fills up. His bladder is essentially small and doesn't stretch much so he's now on some medicine that will help relax the bladder to let it fill up more. Well repeat the CMG in December and evaluate how the med is working. He also saw ortho and various therapists. They gave us some exercises to help strengthen his neck muscles and stretch out his right foot. But all things considered with SB and premie, he's doing great! Well go back for our next clinic day in September (except urology who we don't see until December!).

Triple the cuteness

Maverick had spina bifida clinic day today - I'll post more about that in another post. For now, here's 15 lbs 7 oz of cuteness ( yes, that's almost 3x his birth weight in 3 months)!

Growing up so fast

Not even 3 months old and already has quite the stache :)

Happy 4th!

This is the first year in a while that we haven't been at the lake for the 4th. The boys all had muscle shirts on and needed to show off their arms (Jaeger is still learning how to pose :)).











We skipped Jaegers nap but he just couldn't make it all day.


Maverick got in on the muscle pose.


Today was a day of laziness since we were up late for some fireworks.

I survived

First day back at work today. Said goodbye to this little man,


Wiped some tears off Jaegers face (he kept asking "jaeger go to mommy work?") and waved goodbye


I was greeted by close to 10000 emails which will keep me busy for a few days as I get up to speed and back in to the swing of things. When I got home, every one was excited to see me. Maverick did some cluster feeding plus he's mastered the grip, in this case my shirt.


The bigger boys also wanted some snuggles which I happily gave.

My last week off!

This is my last week off of maternity leave as I go back to work on Monday. I've been trying to enjoy all the little moments with all 3 kiddos.





















I'm pretty sure Josh is going to miss having me at home just as much as the boys. Naps will become no more for him :)




Happy 10 weeks baby boy!
