Man's Best Friend

And the scale says...

7 lbs and 13 oz! What a gain! Let's hope it keeps up! Thanks for praying.

Little Man Weighs In

Well, if you thought that Asher looked a bit scrawny in his one month pics, it's because he is... I always wanted a p-nut baby, but our little guy is not gaining weight the way he should be. The lactation consultant put us on a rigorous feeding schedule over the weekend and have been supplementing some formula, so we are hoping that when we go in tomorrow, he will have gained some weight. It's been exhausting, frustrating and stressful, but we are just trying to do what we need to do and let God handle the rest. Ben has been amazing in every way. He even has decided to cook Monday, Wednesday and Friday which is a HUGE help. It's funny how even though I'm home now, I have so much less time to do "homey' things. We'll let you know how things go and if he is starting to plump up or not! Prayers are welcome :)

Too Cute

Happy 1 Month Asher!

No Time For Blogging

I was so proud at what an avid and consistent blogger I became this summer, but that's out the window. My little man just seems more important than most things anymore. Ben and I are continually adjusting to life with Asher and there are ups and downs everyday. He's such a sweet little peanut, and we are all learning together. Praise the Lord for providing patience and energy for Ben and I towards each other and to our boy. I feel like I'm continually praying for these things to get through the day and night. As you can see in the picture, we are loving the Moby wrap and Asher likes it too. It's very womb-like and cozy and it's a heck of a lot easier to tote him around in than that 30 pound car carrier-sheesh!
