Great Aunt Sissy & Great Grandma

We had Kayden's Great Aunt Sissy and Great Grandma Sally visit from Napa, CA for the last three days and we had an awesome time. Kayden loved all the attention he got from them and he loved having them here. It's too bad they don't live closer so they can visit more often.

Great News

I took Kayden to the dr. today for his follow up appointment and there's good news to share, he's finally gained some weight! He weighed in at 9 lbs 2 oz, crazy, isn't it? He put on about 20 ounces in 1 week. The dr. said, "how is that possible?", but somehow it is, because he did it! Finally, things are falling into place and we are now on the right track. We no longer need to wake him up every 3 hours to eat! Yahoo, no more setting the alarm to wake up in the middle of the night. Kyle and I are both looking forward to that. His next apt. will be for his 1 month apt and he'll be getting a shot poor guy.

Pumpkin Patch

Kayden had his first trip to the pumpkin patch this weekend. We had a lot of fun and I think he did too. We dressed him in his monkey costume and got some great pictures of him. He might hate us one day for it, but for now, it's way too cute!

Eating!!!

So, since our dr. apt. on Monday Kayden has been eating like crazy. He's been chowing down on the formula and can't seem to get enough of it, so hopefully at his dr. apt on Monday the scale will prove just how much he's been eating. I tell ya what, it's nice to be able to monitor how much he is actually eating. Everyone keep your fingers crossed that the scale will show at least 8 lbs on Monday. It's crazy to me that the little guy is two and a half weeks already. Everyone told me it would go fast, but it's crazy how fast it really goes! Hope all is well with everyone and I'll update you on Monday after our apt. Have a good weekend.

Follow Up Appointment

So we went to the dr. today and unfortunately, Kayden hasn't gained any weight, he's the same as last week, so the struggle for him to gain weight continues. The dr. wants me to start feeding him formula so we can monitor how much he is actually eating. We'll go back next Monday for another weight check, I'll update you again then. We also got the results from the ultrasound that was done on his kidneys and all is A-OK, no need to do anything more with that, so at least the dr. had some good news for us! Everyone take care and I'll be sure to update you next week on his progress!

Doctor Appointments

Hey there, guys, just wanted to update you on Kayden. He's doing well. We have an apt. tomorrow to make sure he is still gaining weight, so everyone keep their fingers crossed that he is still gaining.

On Friday we went to Children's hospital to get an ultrasound on his kidneys. I had a two vessel umbilical cord and a normal pregnancy has three, so the dr. wanted us to get an ultrasound done on his kidneys because kids with a two vessel cord often times have problems with their kidneys. The ultrasound tech wouldn't tell us anything except that he has two kidneys, so that is a good starting point. I'm hoping the dr. will have the ultrasound results tomorrow when I go in. I'll update you once we get the results. I tell ya what though, compared to so many of those kids at the hospital we saw, we sure are lucky and have no room for complaints with Kayden. He is very healthy and happy and we couldn't have asked for a better baby.
