Tyson update

Wow... I can't believe Tyson is already 6 weeks old! These photos were taken about 2 weeks ago... He had a check up pn Friday and he now weighs 8lb. 15.8 oz... on his due date! Yikes! Jaxson weighed 7lb. 9 oz on his due date, quite the difference! Tyson is a growing boy!

He's doing very well, the doctor said he is very healthy. He has an umbilical hernia (hole in the abdominal wall at the belly button that pops out about the size of an adult thumb) but that should resolve itself. Jaxson had one too and it just eventually went away. I think it's a preemie thing. He's growing fast and he's in the 25th perentile for height (21 inches) , weight, and head circumference.

We are doing well and still adjusting. Tyson still likes to eat frequently (every 2-4 hours), so we don't sleep a whole lot. I am only pumping 2 times a day now... which is harder to do with 2 babies. With Jaxson I pumped a lot more and was able to donate more... not this time, but that's ok, I'll donate what I can. I got the ok to start working out again from my doctor... so I "ran" around the block today and did some lunges and "girl" pushups. It was rough! But I guess I have to start somewhere! :)

Here are some pictures from a couple weeks ago...
