Jade 4 weeks already!

I have not been keeping up on blogging but the time is just going too fast. I have found that I have very little time to do much of anything. Jade will be 4 weeks tomorrow!! Can anyone believe that? It's so crazy to me. Kids grow up so fast and she is definitely getting bigger although she is still very petite. Jude was almost 12lbs at this point, it's insane. He is such a big boy now, I can barely pick him up anymore. Well... little miss Jade is doing great. She is very healthy and is such a momma's girl. She loves to nurse and would do it all day if I let her. She also loves to be carried around and thankfully doesn't mind her Moby Wrap, she actually loves it. She is so precious and has such a sweet nature. I cannot wait for the months to come.

Jade Rose Van Winkle

Jade Rose was born to us on May 4th, 2010 at 11:25am. She was born via c-section due to mommy having complications. She weighed 7lbs 1/2oz and was 18 1/2 inches long. She came out with a head full of hair and is just absolutely precious. She did have some breathing problems even though she was full term so they admitted her to the NICU where she was hooked up to oxygen tubes, a feeding tube, and an IV. She recovered fast and is now eating from a bottle (4 days later) and breathing perfectly on her own. We cannot try breastfeeding yet because they need to measure how much milk she is drinking but very soon! They are thinking she will be able to go home either tomorrow or Sunday morning, I cannot wait! Stay tuned for more updates!...
