Kru doing well!

Hey Everyone!

Went to the doctor again today to do another weight and color check. His color is good and no sign of jaundice and he is up to 7lbs 5 oz. So he is gaining weight and doing well. We won't have to go back until he is 2 weeks.

Can't believe it has almost been a week! I am so thankful that I'm not pregnant anymore especially on 98 degree days like we are having today. It rained this morning so our humidity is crazy! We have hardly been out of the house today!

Dakota and my dad leave tomorrow a.m. to head back to Idaho. Dakota will be there for a week and then head to Colorado and eventually home. He is excited to go and I know that he will have a good time having some alone papa time!

I forgot how much newborns sleep! I was just changing Kru's diaper when he wound up pooping right on my lap, before I could do anything about the poop he began to pee. It was quite the fountain that shot up and over him, twice! Needless to say I had to change him and me! Oh the joys! Nothing like having a mustard cottage cheese looking poop all over your lap! But these are the joys of parenting and I am so thankful for another wonderful little boy in our home!

Talk to you all soon!

Everyone Home!

Hello All!

We are officially home. We arrived home yesterday around 5:30. Kru is doing very well and so far hasn't seemed to lose any weight. He had his circumcision yesterday and slept pretty much the rest of the day. Kye and Dakota were anxious to have us both home and seem to be doing alright too. Kye wants to share his toys with his little brother and can't understand why he sleeps so much!

We have been blessed and very thankful that Stacy and her family have been here! Can't have babies without her!! She has been kept busy at the hospital with me and then at the house keeping care of my family! What a great friend she is!!!

I wanted to go to church today and felt up to it, but decided I didn't want to attempt the getting the 3 children ready for church this soon! Maybe next week!!

Thanks for all of your comments and thoughtfulness! Come and visit us soon!!

Will update again after we take Kru to the doctor tomorrow for a weight check! Have a great day!

Kru is here!!

Darrin has started a blog for me!!!

We have another son!!!!

Kru Lewis Stephens was born on June 23 at 3:54p.m.
He weighed in at 7lbs 1oz and was 21 inches long! He has a bunch of black hair and has Darrin's chin and ears, my nose and mouth and is adorable!

He was a bit blue and didn't want to cry when he arrived, so he spent some time under the oxygen and then his blood sugar level was low, so mom didn't see him for a while, but he is doing well!

This was by far my easiest delivery and a nice way to finish out the whole baby thing!

Hope you like the pics and will blog more later, but I'm very tired and need to get some rest!
