3 Weeks

We survived week #3 without Bobby! We had a trial run on Sunday because Bobby went to the Colts game, so it was me and 3 kids, alone. We made it and it went surprisingly smooth. Getting the girls to school by 9am was more of the challenge since Austin likes to keep me up throughout the night and then trying to get the girls dressed, feed Austin, get myself to look halfway presentable and out the door without grumpy attitudes is the trick. Tuesday went great. Wednesday I had 3 crying kids at once, but by the time we were buckled in the car, everyone was fine. Thursday, went well especially considering I forgot to pack their lunches the night before.  Mondays and Fridays are definitely busier with 3 kids, but hasn't been too bad. The girls are great with Austin and are helpful. He loves to be talked to and the girls are usually always willing to talk to him or sing to him, which he loves!

Next weekend, Austin will be a month old! How is that even possible?

Last week, we had our 2 week check-up and he weighed 9 lb 9.6 oz. Everything looked good, but the doctor said Austin was being a little pokey with his weight gain. He was happy he was gaining and not losing, but wants us back on October 21st instead of his 2 month check-up just to monitor his weight. 

Austin has been holding on strong to his umbilical cord and it finally fell off last night!  So, he officially has a belly button!  Time for his first real bath today or tomorrow!

I think Rusty has enjoyed getting to be out of his "cage" and the daily car rides to take and pick up the girls.
