Answered prayer!

Jared's court day for visitation for Kenna was today. God definately answered some prayers, because we now have a visitation order that we can follow. We get every other Christmas starting next Christmas, and starting next year we get her for our entire 6 weeks. We also have to meet half way for every pickup and drop off. That was one of the biggest things, especially having three little kids and the travel involved. We are really excited! Thank you for everyone who was praying!

Our first week home!

Well, it has been a little over a week since we came home with Nathan. Our first week went well. It was a little hard not to pick Matthew up all week, but I did pretty well. Luke has had some troubles adjusting to the new baby, but we were expecting that after the year he has had. Jared made sure to give him some Dad time out in his garage and took him to Wal-Mart for a guys shopping spree. I think that helped a lot.
Matthew really doesn't know what to think of the baby. He wants to grab him. Overall he seems to not be phased by the entire thing. He just goes about his business as if Nathan has always been here.
Jared's Mom was here for about 5 days and was a huge help! I don't think I have ever gone that many days without cooking before! I enjoyed it!
Nathan sleeps really well. I am hoping he shows some weight gain at his next weigh in. He only gets up once in the night to eat, and I have to wake him up every three hours during the day so he can eat. I'm really not use to having a baby who sleeps so well right away. I like it!

It's amazing how much babies grow in 10 months. It's even more amazing that Matthew started out over 2 pounds lighter Nathan. You wouldn't guess that now.
