He's Gaining!!! 4lbs 10oz!!

Well, I definitely have less time to keep up with the blog since leaving the hospital. It’s been wonderful being home. It’s also been very busy getting things situated at home and ready for baby and Mommy to be home for good now. Dave has taken off the next month and we’ve been tackling room by room here at the house. Nicholas had his first doctor appointment outside the hospital with our Pediatrician and he now weighs 4lbs 10oz!!! That’s a 4oz gain since leaving the hospital and in just 4 days!! Nicholas still easily fits into preemie clothes and diapers so he still seems so tiny to us. We’ve had fun taking pictures of him next to different things around the house especially baby dolls and other toys just to have a memory of how tiny he is. We just know one day he’ll be a very big Follmuth boy and it’ll be hard to remember how little he was. Madi is still loving her little brother. He’s the first thing she asks about when she wakes up and is sure to give him a kiss and tell him “Jesus bless you Nee-Kee” at the end of each day. She is a wonderful big sister and we haven’t had to deal with any jealousy yet. She’d actually prefer to take over Nicholas and do everything he needs. She is right at his side for diaper changes and holds the bottle during some of his feedings. If he cries or is fussing she is quick to tell him “It’s okay, It’s okay” and make a “shhh-shhh” sound to comfort him. So all is well here in North Dakota! We’ll continue to keep the updates coming as we have them.
