Thank You!

We, in the last few weeks have received a few boxes from family and friends.
You all have no idea what it does for the kids,... and their frame of mind.
We are truly thankful!!!!!
Unfortunately i did not have the camera ready, or a hand available for use when opening the other boxes ... but here are the 2 pictures i did happen to catch.
Thank you to Jasmine, Meemaw and Mommy for the boxes!
Jasimine, Olivia LOVEs the clothing and Evan the Toy and Ava looks adorable in her outfit! I will take a pic and send it to you soon.
Meemaw, of course the clothing is Always appreciated!!! And the kids look adorable! :)

Sleep...

Ava slept from 930 pm~ 430 am last night and woke for a 30 minute feeding and went back to sleep from 5 am ~ 720 am!!! :) She will be 6 weeks on Sunday.
I'm think'n ... that 6 week growth spurt is on the horizon.
I feel human today and there is light at the end of the Sleepless tunnel! :)

I love my Moby!!!!!

I Love my Moby Wrap!
I got to try and buy one the other day and WOW! Ava Loves it.
As i sit here @ the desk... she is all cuddled in and sleeping so well.
I can actually get things done!
Yesterday i went to the commissary for 2 hours and shopped SO comfy and she was so happy.
Yay for Comfy Carriers!

Just a hello

Its been a while, and i am going to try and keep up with the things we have been up to, again.

We will see if i can!

We have not been up to much other than baby stuff for the last 3 weeks.

Ethan had been home on baby leave, but just went back to work this poast Monday.

The kids have been adjusting just fine to the new baby and the new routine, so far.

As far as Ava goes...

We went to her 1 week weight check up and she is doing well. She had already lost her cord, and overall everything was look'n good. :) She was 7 pounds 5 oz.

At her 2 week check up she was just about back at her birth weight, 7 pounds 12 oz (just 1 oz shy of 7lbs 13 oz).

Uesterday we went for a 3 week weight check up and WOW! She has really packed on the weight this week! She is 8 pounds and 11 oz!! :)

We're still fitting onlu Newborn Clothing, but we hope to fit into the Super Cute 0-3 3-6 clothing that was gifted to us. :)

Let's see, Were looking forward to Spring and Cherry Blossoms...

Also, we are #2 on the Housing list for a 4 bedroom @ the "big base".

Oh and yesterday i took Ava for her 1st train ride, just to pay a bill at a local train station. She rode in the Front pack carrier, and she enjoyed it!! I have a feeling we will be getting out and about soon enough, so look for that!!!

Thats it from here!
