Happy 1 month birthday!

Ahh, we are getting back to normal again, whatever that means with 4 kids! After Sunrise was released from the hospital, it was like bringing home a newborn again. He had been woken up every couple of hours for pokes or different tests, and the nurses were very good at popping in his pacifier and swaddling him tightly. So now he can't sleep without something in his mouth and his arms securely tucked away. Not that I am complaining!

Before he got sick, Sunrise had his two week checkup. He was 21.5 inches tall (75 %ile), 8 lbs 13 oz. (50 %ile) and his head is 36.2 cm (25 %ile). He is a little smaller than our other babies. He also got circumcised at this appointment, instead of in the hospital, per our pediatrician's recommendation.

While Sunrise was so sick, Thunder's parents were able to come visit with the baby and help with the other kids. It was wonderful to have Nana and Papa here! The kids just love them. It was so nice to sleep in a bit in the mornings even though the kids woke up early to play with them. And eventually Sunrise's favorite place to fall asleep was on Nana's lap. Unfortunately I didn't get hardly any pictures with them!
So now Sunrise is about 5 weeks old and doing great. He even slept 6 hours last night for the first time ever. You other moms can relate- I still got up in the middle of the night to check on him! The older kids have also started a summer program at Challenger school and are having a blast. We're hanging in there... now if this rain would leave we could enjoy a real summer!
