real quick....

Tommy got weighed yesterday....7lbs, 6ozs! That was 8ozs in 7 days! Perfect!
Yesterday was crazy...I decided after Kimberlyn went pee a ton Sunday and then woke with a fever yesterday that she may need to get her urine tested for a UTI. Sure enough she had floaters in her urine and the lab made us go directly to the doc...after some medicine, she's doing much better today. So, instead of a quick weigh in, we had a long morning at the clinic.

On Saturday, Larry and Kimberlyn set up Tommy's crib. Him using the living room for his 'bedroom' was getting old...this decision should also guarantee a move this summer. Anyhow, I'll post pictures soon...he's in Kaitlyn's room and she's so excited!!

Uh-oh!! It was bound to happen...

Here is how I found Tommy. I think he may be saying "HELP MOM!!!" Tommy 15 weeks, 1 day old. Kimberlyn had gotten this in her Easter basket and was letting him try it out.

...then Kimberlyn had to pose after rearranging his tiara.

Kimberlyn, Kaitlyn and Robby found their Easter Baskets...

Tommy's First Easter14 weeks, 6 days old!

6 lbs, 14 ozs, 15 weeks old!

Tommy went in for his RSV shot...got a quick weight check too. He gained an ounce per day last week, which is exactly what they wanted!

HAPPY EASTER!!!

Silly me, I totally forgot to scan this picture of the kids with the Easter Bunny from last weekend...This was on March 31, 2007, Tommy was 14 wks old weighing 6 lbs, 7 ozs.

I hope you all had a nice Easter. Tommy and I joined the Larry and the older kids to church, Larry's mom came along too. Then we came home to prepare our very belated Christmas dinner, I had the turkey from Thanksgiving! We ended up traveling over Thanksgiving and planned on using it for CHristmas Dinner...well, that didn't happen either :) At any rate, we had a wonderful Easter Day and enjoyed a classic Christmas Dinner...we even had the winter weather to compliment it! No joke, it was 39 degrees yesterday and we were at the carnival that came to town for the weekend...AND it was snowing! Okay, just flurries, but hello, we live in OKLAHOMA! Today was in the upper 30's again! NUT-SO!

Quick update...

Okay, so yesterday Tommy had some blood work done to just check everything. Turns out he is anemic. So, we are adding more iron, it seems the multivitiman with iron is not enough. He's back on HMF as the distrubitor donated another box...we were going to just supplement with preemie formula a couple times a day. Since they got another box, we'll use it. This is special order stuff that is about $1 a packet (100 packets in the box) when ordered! The HMF additive is not critical at this point, but definitely beneficial. They also donated a box of this new supplement that the mother takes to boost the nutrients in her breastmilk. So, now I'm on that...definitely can't hurt. There's not enough data to say IF it really helps or not. Naturally the company thinks it's great!

Today was Kaitlyn's oral book report...I won't go into details, but the video camera and I did not click today. (Larry just bought this camera RIGHT after Tommy was born. Hey, we thought we had another 11 1/2 weeks to 'shop'...) Thankfully I have a few pictures...Ten Apples Up on Top

Now....14 1/2 weeks old.

Then....8 1/2 weeks old.

Grandpa's Visit and more pics

Tommy's new bed...okay for just a few days during Grandpa P's Visit. April 3, 2007 Tommy 14 weeks, 1 day old.

We had a nice, too short visit with my dad. The kids really enjoyed his stay and he enjoyed the kids. Didn't do too much as Larry's new job kind of has long hours...but it was nice to visit. He also got to watch the first few minutes of Robby's first soccer game of the season...bad mom forgot the camera. Come on, I brought Tommy's bottle...priorities!!! Robby's team tied 3 to 3. Not bad for the first game. We only stayed for a few minutes as the soccer feilds are terribly windy and I am under the impression that Tommy doesn't care for the wind :)

Whoa, Kimberlyn said she did this on her own...her name perfectly backwards!
