3 Weeks Old - 2 lbs 2 oz

Braden is 3 weeks old today. He has been such a blessing to all of us. He has truly swept us all off our feet. Braden is such a precious baby and we thank you all for loving him and praying for him. We were so happy that Braden hit 2 pounds that we had a 2 pound party. MoMo and Annie brought 2 pounds of shrimp each, Connie brought 2 pounds of veggies, etc. PoPo wanted 2 pounds of dessert, but had to settle for 2 pounds of chips. :o)

Braden did give us a big scare on Sunday, but I'm happy to report that he's doing much better now. He's much more stable and not as restless. We know that he will hit these bumps along the way, and we pray that he will continue to fight right over those bumps.

On Saturday, Steve finally got to hold his son for the first time! They snapped some wonderful pictures and we are so happy to share them with you!

Tummy time before Kangaroo Care with Daddy!


Steve and Braden are preparing for Kangaroo Care.


Steve made sure all the cords were adjusted.


Steve then made sure Braden was comfy.


Braden snuggled up to his daddy.


Guess who weighs 2 pounds??!!


All eyes on daddy after Kangaroo Care!


Look at these feet! They are 4 cm from toe to heel


Kangaroo Care with daddy made him sleepy!

The little one is definately the better looking of the two, but at least you can tell where he gets his good looks from.

After a long hard day these pictures are a sight for sore eyes. I keep scrolling back and forth from picture to picture trying to decide on my favorite. You boys look mighty good together!
Love,
