Of course, I’m biased. I am his mother, after all. But I do think that this baby is the sweetest one I know (not counting my other three that aren’t babies anymore).

We had his 2-week check-up on Friday, and he hasn’t quite regained his birth weight. (He was 10lb 1oz, and his birth weight was 10lb 6oz.) They’re also concerned that he might have a hip click, which would require him to wear a harness for a while. He has an ultrasound scheduled for Thursday morning at 8:30. We would appreciate prayers that all is well with his little hips!

Other than that, he’s a happy, healthy boy!

More later, with some fun news on the frugal front!

Just in case you’re wondering, I’m still pregnant.

11 days past my due date.

Feeling some contractions, but no “real labor.”

Tired of the waiting game.

No Jaden sightings to report. Lacey is getting an AFI test done as we speak, to make sure he is going to continue to be healthy. The non-stress test showed that Jaden is doing fine, and the doctor would really like Lacey to go naturally instead of being induced (we agree, but it is frustrating to wait). Keep praying!

My friend Kyle Bushre is waiting on a bunch of legal hoops to be jumped through to approve the adoption of an ethiopian boy. There is a possibility that it will not be approved at all, so when he sent out a note asking for prayer to rely on these verses, I feel pretty foolish being so impatient waiting for our 4th child to arrive:

Psalm 33:20-22

Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.
For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.
Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.

I didn’t even bother comparing with last week’s photo. My belly is huge. I’m pretty much ready for baby to come now, and to get this waiting game overwith! Jaden is currently eight days late, and even if I went into labor right now, at this late in the day, he’d be tied with his brother Caleb for latest at nine days late.

We had a good, relaxing Memorial Day – short parade in Lowell, play time at the Brewsters’ house, yummy lunch at home, and naps…I’m thankful!
