When Isaac was in the NICU it seems like time stood still. That three weeks seemed to drag on and on. The NICU experience is typically compared to a marathon. Especially those that have babies that spend months in the NICU. Then when you get down to the point where you know coming home is close it gets even slower. Just like when you are close to the end of the marathon. Those last few miles seem a lot longer. But now that Isaac is four months old I find myself wondering where the time has gone. How can he be four months already?



Isaac decided to celebrate turning four months by sleeping for eight straight hours. I felt like a new woman. I am hoping it's something he decides to do again... and again... and again.  When I went back to work he started going 5-6 hours. So even that is an improvement from last month.

I think having a routine has helped. We get up around 5:30-6 and I feed him then put him on his activity mat or back in the crib while I get ready for the day. Once I am finished I will generally get him ready. I get a new outfit on him and we'll play again. I feed him again about 30 minutes before we have to leave. I also change him before we leave too. I drop him off at daycare and head to work. After I pick him up we head home. He plays on his activity mat while I get his bottles ready for the next day, lunches ready for Dan and and a few other things too. The night varies depending on if its bath night or not. He's down for the night between 9-9:30.

Isaac is getting great head control as seen below. He loves to look around. He loves grabbing at things. He hasn't laughed yet nor rolled over but that's okay. He'll get there. He seems to really like daycare. He always has lots of smiles when I drop him off and lots of smiles when I pick him up. He loves cooing too. He loves sucking his thumb. He loves to stand (with us holding him of course).

Mommy... this chair is kinda fun!

Diaper photo! Just a reminder. He was 3 lbs 4.5 oz at birth and he was weighed on Monday and weighed 11 lbs 6 oz.  I am so happy that he is doing so well!
