A fun fall day at the park. Tessa loving swinging on her belly with Marah and Mason while Nolan just hangs out (once again in the background). We can't wait to get out this weekend to enjoy the 60 degree temps!
It's almost been one week since I've done a post. Time flies when you're having fun! It's been a great, uneventful, quick week here in our household. Nolan went back to the doctor on Monday for his first RSV shot. He will be getting a total of two shots. The shot lasts for about 30 days. He was given one for the month of November and will be given another one to last for the month of December. When Tessa was 6 months old she had RSV. She was a very healthy baby and when she had RSV it was quite scary. Many sleepless nights for Derek and I as we just watched her sleep making sure she didn't struggle to breath (which is exactly what happened when Nolan was born). I don't even want to picture Nolan getting it. For a little munchkin who is still on a monitor because of the lung disease that he had, it would be a very scary sickness. So much to worry about this winter...RSV...Influenza...H1N1... I'm sure he'll dodge each sickness that comes his way. He's already proven to us how resilient he can be and how strong he is.
He continues to grow and grow. On Monday when we went to the doctor he weighed 8 pounds 1 ounce. I know he's even bigger than that now. He has to be at least 8.5 pounds. He's starting to get the cheeks that Tessa always had (or still has). It's so great to see him putting on the weight and to see the rolls forming on his body. He's going to be one healthy boy in no time. Let's hope it doesn't take him long to catch up. He is still in the 3% for his weight and if he keeps growing like he is, that number will go up quickly!
Tessa is doing so well. She has been a bit quiet lately but I think she still isn't feeling 100%. She is such a sweet girl (with some spunk) and it's been so fun to be home with her while I am on my leave. I'll be returning to work on December 2. While I'm looking forward to heading back it will be difficult to leave the kiddos. The good thing is that Christmas break will only be three weeks after I return where I will have another two weeks off.
Enjoy the great weather this weekend!
Haley has to get the RSV shots too - but the doctors said she will have to get them till March or maybe April, as long as the flu season lasts... Glad to hear Nolan and Tessa are doing so well! How does Tessa like being a big sister?? She is just adorable - I love those cheeks! Glad to hear Nolan's getting them too! I'm so excited Haley's legs are getting nice and fat, so I know exactly what you mean! :)
