Showered with Gifts

Today Holden slept through his first Bible Fellowship class. We are new to this and didn’t plan very well. So he was due for a feeding right in the middle of class. And he is a pretty noisy eater and gets noisily excited about his bottle. So I wondered where I would go to feed him when this happened. (Just so the classroom wouldn’t have to be disrupted by my babies gulping and loud heavy breathing as he drinks it down in a dramatic performance.) We still have to laugh every time he takes his bottle. Wish you all could experience it first hand. But instead of waking up hungry, he slept through the whole thing and we were able to feed him once we got home. This weekend, he worked his way up to taking a full 3oz at a time and is now going 3-4 hours between feedings. Though sometimes after 2 hours he thinks he is hungry. We can usually trick him with a passy. Since this is my first baby, I don’t even know what is normal. But it’s an increase from last week, so that seems good.

Our Bible Fellowship class had a necessities shower for us today and they were so generous! We received lots of fun things like onesies, clothes and blankies. And then of course the helpful necessities like diapers, wipes, baby wash and lotion. Thank you so much Young Married Life!!

I tried to get Jeremy to take this picture with Holden. I’m sure you are tired of seeing me all over this blog. You’re thinking - where is Jeremy? Well, here he is. Trying to catch up on some much needed sleep. Notice the new blankie from Kendra’s shop. Thanks Kendra and Melissa (and Tommy and Rudi)! I absolutely love it!! And Holden does too!
