Asa Reading to Norah
A few nights after getting home from the hospital, I walked into our bedroom to find Asa "reading" to Norah. *Heart Melted* :)
Silly Asa
It's hard to take a fit seriously when you look like this...
Also, here's one to add to the nap shenanigans album-
Multitasking big brother- shoving a pacifier in his sister's mouth while watching cartoons while smiling for the camera.
Meeting Norah's BFF
Norah got to meet her instant BFF last weekend! Adelyn is beautiful and I was so excited to finally to get to meet her! I could tell that there was definitely friendship chemistry between these two...
...except for maybe when they both decided they were NOT excited to meet... Just a little bump in the road to becoming besties :)
Norah Update
At Norah's initial pediatrician appointment on Monday, Oct 6th, she weighed 7 lbs 1 oz which was 4 oz below her birth weight. She also had a fairly elevated jaundice level, though not high enough to warrant treatment. We had to continue to monitor her and and get blood drawn several more times- all without significant changes. At her 2 week appointment she had only gained 2 ozs and still wasn't at or above her birth weight. Also, her jaundice level was creeping up again. The dr asked to see her back in a week (today) and I'm happy to report she gained 11 ozs and is now 7 lbs 14 ozs! Also, he could tell by looking at her that we don't need to worry about jaundice anymore. This was great news- not only because she's healthy, but because I seriously hated holding her while they drew an entire vial of blood from her heel! I may have cried the first time when my hormones were wacky... :)
Looking cute today :)

Are you happy?
Asa has started asking us if we're happy multiple times a day.
"Mama, are you happy?"
"Daddy, are you happy?"
"Baby sister happy?" (When she's not crying).
He'll either ask us out of the blue, or he'll ask when he's misbehaving (to which I tell him I'd be happier if he started minding me), or he'll ask when he finally decides to do whatever I've been asking him to do (to which I respond by telling him I am now that he's listening to me).
It's really sweet. Asa continues to be such a loving and compassionate little boy and I'm so proud to be his mama.
