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!

Happy 2 months!

Blink and your baby is already 2 months old. Maverick is doing great, has a lot more awake time (although he still does a good job of sleeping) and has shown hints of a smile. He's getting up just once during the night to eat which makes for a happy momma!








Jaxons last day of school was Thursday so we got to go have a picnic with him. Jaeger was the most excited:)





We had our first road trip this past weekend in which we went to Uncle Travis and Aunt Kristi's house for Lauren's birthday party. Mav did good on the car ride, needing just 1 stop for food and diaper change. The picture above is the best attempt at all Roos grandchildren (for right now until Roos baby #3 arrives in a couple weeks).



I have just a little more than a week of leave remaining before I head back to work. I'm gonna soak up all the cuddles until then!

Three Years Old!

Yesterday was Jaegers birthday- how is it even possible that he's 3? It feels like just yesterday he was Mavericks size.








And now he's huge and talking all the time. Still in diapers though and not showing any interest in potty training.






Maverick had his 2 month check up today and all is good. The chunker has made it off the premie growth chart and onto the normal one. His 9lbs 12 oz puts him just about at 10 percentile (the only time my kiddos will be on the "small" side). Poor guy got the trio of vaccines so he's sleepy/fussy now.

Time Flies

I can't believe how much Maverick has grown over the past 6+ weeks. I found 2 pictures that do a good job showing it.



Day of discharge on April 26 - 5 lbs 2 oz


June 3 - probably close to 9 lbs (yes, that is a double chin you see)

Awake time

Maverick is starting to have some longer periods of awake time - I love getting to see his beautiful eyes and can't wait to see his personality compared to his older brothers.






"Mom, quit taking so many pictures"


He's still in newborn sized clothes but I expect him to move up to 0-3 months soon.


Jaxons class went to a pond just down the street from us and Mav and I joined them. Baby boy wasn't too impressed.

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!
