Andrew's Homecoming Day

Andrew and I did so well at the hospital that they let us go home after just 2 nights. I guess they think we are "pros" since this is our 3rd baby! Ha!! We didn't arrive home until around 6:00 that evening. The girls were super excited that we were home. Andrew had a great night and has done really well ever since!! He eats and sleeps!! He is a really laid back baby...thank goodness!! He eats about every 3-4 hours and sometimes goes 4 1/2 hours at night if I am lucky! I couldn't ask for anything better! He has been sleeping in our room right next to my bed for the last 2 weeks but I decided to let him sleep in his crib last night. He did great!

I took him to the Dr. on Monday for his 2 week check up...His stats are 7 lbs 13 oz and 19 in long. He left the hospital weighing 7 lbs and 1 oz so he is doing great on gaining weight!!

Here are a few pics on our Homecoming Day!

Visitors!

We have been blessed to have many family and friends come by to meet baby Andrew. I tried to get a picture of everyone but I know I forgot to take a few. I will catch you next time!

 

 

 

Andrew Kelly Johnston

Our son, Andrew Kelly, arrived on Monday, December 20, 2010. He was born at exactly 4:30 p.m. weighing 7 lbs 6 oz and 19 inches long. We are so excited that he is healthy and decided to come early right before Christmas! What a great early Christmas present for us! I had been on bedrest for 3 weeks prior to his arrival so you can imagine that I was anxiously awaiting his arrival! Each week I took my bags to the Dr. hoping that she would say, "He is coming today!". But she was scared to take him too early fearing that his lungs would not be developed. But on the 20th I was already 4 cm dilated so she told me it was my lucky day! Mom took me to the dr. that morning so I called Syd and told him to get to Jackson! Both girls were there wearing their "Big Sister" t-shirts that Mrs. Morgan monogrammed for them. They were SUPER excited to say the least! Both girls love their little brother!!

 

 

 

 

photo session...

Back in November I had the girls picture taken by 2 sisters called Frick Frack Foto. They did a fantastic job with the girls and I was really satisfied with the turn-out! Here are just a few from our photo session. I can't wait to have them made in the Spring when Andrew will be included as well!!

Christmas Babies!

I took these pictures of the girls before the church Christmas party last Sunday night. I LOVE these girls!!!

 

 

 

 

It's beginning to look like Christmas!

Syd and I took the girls downtown on Sunday to visit with Santa. Sarah Beth was so excited but Sophie didn't want any part of Santa. So we had to take a family picture!! We strolled downtown and shopped a little, then we headed down to the riverfront to see the Kansas City Holiday Express. The girls enjoyed seeing all the elves, Santa and all the cool Christmas stuff on the train. We had a full day!! Now we are ready to put our tree up (as soon as Syd finishes up with the baby's room)!!
Baby Andrew will arrive anytime now. I am on bedrest until he comes. I am 35 weeks and already dilating and our goal is to get to 37 weeks. I know we can do it! I go back to the Dr on Monday and we will have a sonogram to get an estimate on his weight....can't wait to meet this sweet baby!! I will leave you with some pics!
