1 week later - Joshua updates


Joshua is 1 week old now. He is doing very well & so am I, though still quite sore and staying on top of pain meds. Trying to rest as much as posible.

Royce turns 33 years old today, our actual due date, and returned back to work today, leaving me with the 5 kiddos for the first time. Things have gone suprisingly well! I have 2 sleeping, but 2 are playing around during their naptime (which means they won't sleep, but bedtime will be early tonight!) and 1 playing Legos.

Tomorrow Joshua has an appt. with an ENT to clip a tight frenulum (tongue-tied). I noticed it the last night in the hospital while he was crying. The piece of tissue that is underneath the tongue actually starts at the tip of his tongue and it made perfect sense as to why he was having so much trouble latching on. Fortunately it isn't tight enough to completely hinder his nursing, but the pediatrician did mark his referal as urgent so that we could take care of it right away. Feedings should be much smoother after the procedure. So please pray for him, his appt. is 10:30am, Tuesday, July 20th.

Below are some pictures of these past several days and some visitors we've had over. Unfortunately we did not get pictures of EVERYONE - bummer!
