Letter to Teenage Daughters
I really like Diaper Diaries & especially this post. Its intended for the blogger's daughters, BUT, I think most of it can be applied to teenage boys too. I'm linking it here so I can find it when I need it. Go read it, its worth it, especially if you have "little" girls who are growing up WAY too fast.

4 Weeks Old
My baby boy is 4 weeks old today! Wow, that first month just flew by, but I'm glad that this time I will REMEMBER it! Things with Vince have been SO much different from Luke....
Vince is a great nurser, a good sleeper, and overall a super great baby. He is quite gassy most of the time and so we've had the fun of dealing with that, but I don't think he is showing signs of any food allergies or intolerances.
We have been treating everybody for thrust/yeast since Thursday...and I noticed Saturday that the "milk tooth" in Vince's mouth seems to be almost gone. He still has a tiny nub in there on the top left and a bigger one on the bottom right (that is new?!?) so who knows what is going on there.
When I weighed us last week on the scale, he weighed about 8 1/2 lbs. :)
I took his measurements today for new woolies and diapers and this is what I came up with:
Chest Circumference: 15 1/2 inches
Length (for romper) (shoulder to heel): 17 inches
Foot Length: 3 3/4 inches
Shoulder to bottom of shirt hem: 9 inches
Arm inseam: 4 1/2 inches
Waist:15
Hips:16 3/4-17
Rise:13
Inseam:5 1/2-6
Thigh:8

Another Update
Sat. 8/20
Tom, Peggy, and Beth ended up staying for a long visit and having dinner with us.
Peggy & I went to Babies R Us and she bought both of the boys some things. Vince got 2 3 piece outfits & Luke got an outfit & 2 pairs of pjs.
Sun. 8/21
We woke up late & attempted to get ready to go to church at The Gathering, but that wasn't going to happen, so we went to Courthouse instead. It was a nice visit & I really enjoyed it.
When we got home, Tim took a nap in the rocking chair until time for his class and I took care of the boys.
In the evening Mom & I took the boys to A.C. Moore's midnight madness sale & then to Kohl's.
Mon. 8/22
My follow up appointment. I've lost 16 lbs. I had a popped and bleeding stitch. Basically Dr. M said, be careful not to pop anymore, we discussed birth control, and that was that. I go back when I'm 6 weeks post-partum.
Tuesday 8/23
Dad came in for a doctor's appointment. Before his appointment though, he gave Vincent his "Pap Bath".
Mom took Luke to see Winnie the Pooh at Cinema Cafe, but it was sold out when they got there, so instead they went to see Cars 2. Luke ended up falling asleep mid-way through the movie, so they came home for nap time, but all in all, it was a good trip. (Luke & Grandmom got to spend some good quality time together.)
Tim also had his first night of classes at TCC.
Weds. 8/24
Mom had her doctor's appointments and then left for Emporia. It was our first partial day by ourselves.
We had a little impromptu photo shoot out back.
Thurs. 8/25
Tim got off early because the computers were being shut down.
I cant remember what we did or didnt do...I'm pretty sure we were in survival mode until Tim got home.
Fri. 8/26
Tim was off for the hurricane and so we decided to go ahead & head out to Emporia. We ended up not getting there until about 9:45 at night!
Sat. 8/27
Hurricane Irene raged outside & we all stayed cool, dry, and well fed at Mom & Dad's. Got to love generator power that powers the entire house!
The kids all played well together and the so did the adults!
Sun. 8/28
The storm moved out overnight and the sun was shining. The kids, Tim, Mandy, and Frankie all helped Dad clean up the yard. Then Mandy & the boys left.
We hung out and were happy to get word that Tim didn't have to work on Monday, since our house still didn't have power.
Uncle Dave arrived in the afternoon, so we had a nice visit with him.
Mon. 8/29
We got up to a home cooked breakfast (sausage, bacon, scrambled or fried eggs, toast, milk gravy, and pancakes!)
Then we took the kids outside to play. We got word that our power was back on, so before lunch we started loading up.
We headed home around 2:15.
Tues. 8/30
Dad's surgery, up early to take him to the appointment. Went to Lynnhaven Mall playplace. Picked Dad up & brought him home.
Mandy came & helped me get him in the house. He spent the night.
Weds. 8/31
Dad played with Luke in between naps and I did housework.
Mom came in the evening to pick Dad up. Tim took care of Luke while Vince & I napped for a bit in the late evening.
Thurs. 9/1
Mom came for a surprise visit so I could nap. Heavenly.
When Tim got home we went to the pharmacy & Target.
And, Vince plays with toys now!! I've been laying him in his cradle with this toy & he's been batting his hands at the dangly things & looking at his face in the mirror.
Started thrush treatment (gentian violet) in Vince.
Fri. 9/2
Started thrush treatment for Luke & I.
Went & met Heather & dropped off fabric. Lunch at KFC. Went to Ingleside to visit. Went to Tom & Peggy's house.

Vincent James 11 Day Old Check-Up
So, eventually I'll get Vince's first few days typed up & onto the blog, but rather than fall behind as I wait on time to do that, I figured I'll update on the recent events!
Super Quick Recap:
Mon. 8-Water broke at 4 am, Birthday @ 7:32, Family visited throughout the day
Tuesday. 9-Hospital-Vince had his first bath, assisted by Peggy & Beth, Chrissy visited, Luke got sick so Tim stayed home with him :(
Wed.10- Discharged from hospital, Rachel brought spaghetti, Engorged
Thurs. 11-Still engorged
Friday. 12-Vince & Luke go to doctor, Luke has strep, Vince weighed 5 lbs 12 oz.
Sat. 13-Still engorged, Mom & Mandy took Luke to Emporia
Sun. 14- Still engorged but almost gone! Tim managed to get a nap in...we're almost caught up on sleep! The Johnson family brought dinner.
Mon. 15-1 Week Old! Tim went back to work
Tues. 16- Tim got off early for the boys' photo shoot with Cocoa Bean Photography, then went to Golden Corral for dinner
Weds. 17-Vince was still exhausted from his photo shoot & ran a slight temperature (around 99.8, which the doc said was okay)
Thurs. 18- Mom took Luke to story time at the library, I gave Vince his third sponge bath after he had a blow-out in a disposable diaper
Friday Aug. 19 was my scheduled c-section date, but since Vince was already here, that obviously wasn't happening.
Instead it was Vince's "1 week" check-up.
Mom slept in & I took care of the boys and some of the laundry/housework by myself. We aimed to leave at 12:15 and managed to get out of the house by 12:30!
We got to the doctor's office in 15 minutes and I waited until the "re-opened" at 1:00.
They are super awesome there and we got in & out quickly. Vince still measured 19", so we're pretty sure that the hospital was wrong. He weighed in at 6 1/2 lbs! He gained 3/4 of a lb in one week's time, which is really awesome!!
He also didn't need any shots or any more Vitamin K and doesn't show any signs of jaundice!! Things are SO different this time around!!
Since he is gaining well and looked good we are set to go until his 2 month check-up without being seen again. How totally awesome is that!?! She did cauterize his umbilicus since it was a little green from where the stump came off that morning.
While I was at the doctor's, Mom got herself lunch (we had already fed Luke) and drove around so Luke could nap.
When they picked me up, we went to Chic Fil A and I got some lunch and then we went to Wal-Mart. Mom took Luke to Garden Ridge with her and I did the shopping with Vince in the Moby wrap. :)
I didn't think about the weight of the shopping cart though, and so by the end of the shopping trip I was hurting and I am still hurting today.
After grocery shopping, we headed home and Frankie took care of carrying in the groceries.
Mom and Frankie headed out to Mandy's work (Grayson & Spencer were asleep in the car) and I was home alone with the boys for a couple hours.
Vince needed attention right away, so the groceries had to wait, and fortunately Luke was entertained by "Cars".
When Tim got home, I was just finishing up with putting away the groceries.
We had a relaxed evening and Tim & Luke picked up a pizza for dinner.
Bedtime did not go so well though, but I'd rather not memorialize that on the blog!
Saturday Aug. 20
We got up around 8:00 this morning and Tim tended to Vince while I got Luke breakfast & a show.
We managed to get thing moving and by 11ish Tim was out cutting the grass.
Mom & Frankie showed up and ended up taking Luke with them to the Regent campus for Frankie's move-in day.
Vincent & I are going to get some laundry done while they are gone and before Tom & Peggy come over for a visit.
