Labor Day Weekend

Hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! We had a great time spending time with the family. The kids had their 4 month check up on Friday and everything was looking good!! They got their shots, and Carter ran a fever afterwards, but they both did a great job as usual. Carter and Olivia are now off of the Preemie scale and onto the regular growth chart for full term babies!

Carter weighs 12 pounds 6 oz and was in the 10Th percentile for weight and height. Liv was 10 pounds 10 oz and in the 3rd percentile for her weight and height. Though she has been having difficulty with her eating, she still gained 8 oz in 10 days so we were really happy! The doc seems to think that the meds are working, and each day she seems to be taking a little more. Mitch had his follow up on his knee on Thursday and everything is looking perfect for him too!!!! We are such a blessed family! Saturday we attended a funeral for Mitch's Uncle Jay..it was an amazing service for such a wonderful man! His life was taken unexpectedly last week, so please pray for his wife and children as they continue the grieving process. RIP Uncle Jay.

Sunday was filled with picnics at mom and dads house followed by Uncle Todd and Aunt Amanda's house...we had so much fun at both places, and it was nice to see everyone! We enjoyed Monday at home just the 5 of us and had a nice relaxing day together. We ran a few errands, but enjoyed a day of no time schedule!
The babies have been sleeping in their cribs every night since Friday and doing a great job! Olivia sleeps through the whole night, and Carter wakes only once during the night. We are so proud of how good they are doing!!!
We are looking forward to tomorrow night when we go and get our 4 month pictures taken! I hope that everyone is awake!!!!
Tonight we were at Babies R Us getting a few things when we saw the Preemie clothing and we just couldn't remember Carter and Olivia being that small and yet when they were they didn't seem that small....wow, they are growing so fast and Mitch and I are so blessed!!!

Just a trip down memory lane...

In just 4 months time...

What a true reflection of God's Amazing Grace!
