Sunday night was Jacob's Joyland spring concert and my first real outing since February!!  Mim, Grandaddy, and CiCi all came (Poppa was out of town on business) and we enjoyed a nice dinner at Chuy's afterward!!

Deja Vu

Jacob- December 24, 2007

Jonah- April 23, 2012

FINALLY a Monogram

It's no secret that I love personalized and/or monogramed things. When we were planning Jacob's room, I ordered several personalized pieces for his walls, as well as monogramed clothing. For some reason, I had a hard time finding personalized items for Jonah's room until recently. PBK had some great nautical accents, including this great anchor plaque complete with monogram! It was a no-brainer and I ordered it instantly! It looks so cute in Jonah's nursery and I'm so happy to finally have something with his monogram!!

Wordless Wednesday- Jonah's Favorite Spot!!

Jonah's Nursery

Other than a few little touches here and there, Jonah's nursery is just about finished! When we found out we were having another boy, I was concerned that the nursery would end up looking too much like Jacob's. I was also concerned because I've always absolutely loved Jacob's room and wanted to make sure I loved Jonah's just as much!! After months of planning and purchasing, I think we've created a colorful and cozy room to spend time with our little boy!

Doctor's Visit!!

Jonah visited Dr. Frank for the first time this morning! It's hard to believe that one week ago today we were in the hospital, awaiting his arrival!! He truly is such a sweet baby boy. He is eating well and sleeps GREAT! We usually do a late feeding around 11 or 11:30 then get up around 3 for another feeding and by the time he is ready for the third feeding, it's time to wake up! I certainly can't complain about only having to wake up once in the middle of the night!

When Jacob was teeny-tiny, we borrowed a bassinet from a friend. This time around, we purchased a co-sleeper for Jonah and I LOVE it! I have it right up next to the bed, so I can roll over and see him, or reach in give him some love! He has started to take a pacifier here and there, and the co-sleeper is also great to be able to give it back to him when it falls out! I am definitely starting to feel better and can FINALLY pick him up out of the co-sleeper! During the day, we mostly stay upstairs, in bed since I am still recovering. I make a little cozy spot for Jonah in the middle of the bed with a soft blanket, burp cloth under his head (just in case!) and then he gets covered in another soft blanket. He absolutely loves it and I love being so close to him!!

Here are Jonah's one week stats:
Weight: 6 lbs. 1 oz (6%)- almost up to his birth weight!!!
Length: 20 in. (46%)
Head Circum: 13 1/4 in. (10%)

Coming Home

After four nights in the hospital, it was time to take our little guy home and reunite our sweet little family!! We definitely had mixed emotions because we were ready to come home, but had gotten used to the routines and help we had at the hospital! We were most definitely ready to see Jacob and have the two brothers finally under one roof!

Jonah is his adorable coming home outfit from Tiny Sprouts!

Snug as a bug in a rug and ready for his first ride in the car!

Jacob was so excited to have Jonah sitting in the backseat with him!

We were greeted with a sweet sign made by Jacob, Mim and Poppa! What a wonderful surprise to come home to!!
