double stroller

We took our first stroller ride in our new double stroller.  It was quite an adventure because as soon as I put both boys in the stroller, I realized that all 3 tires were flat.  It took me quite some time to figure out how to work the tire compresser but I finally got it to work and we were off on our walk.  The boys loved it and I loved being able to get out with both of them.

sweet boys

We have tried to get a picture of Austin holding Miller but he doesn't want anything to do with it.  He did let me take a picture of the 2 of them on the bed next to each other though.  I love the way Miller is looking at Austin.

Austin may be the next Beethoven =)

Video of Austin dancing

Austin loves his little house and just recently figured out that it plays music from the little radio.  He loves to dance to the music after he pushes the button.

 

Shout out to my Gigi

Big shout out to our Gigi for coming to help when Miller was born.  She stayed a week and helped a ton.  We miss you Gigi and can't wait to see you again.

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July from our family to yours.  David is on call all weekend so his parents came over to stay and help with the boys (such a huge help).  We woke up yesterday morning and headed over to Avon Neighborhood Parade.  Austin loved the fire trucks, antique cars, and all the bikes decorated.  Miller enjoye d it as well =)


Today Austin and I headed to a friends house for a little swimming.  It was nice to have some one on one time with my little guy.

Some cute pics of Miller in a fun 4th outfit a friend gave us.

Glo-Worm

Our little man, the Glo Worm.  Miller's bilirubin was elevated so home health brought 2 bili rubin blankets to our home.  He has to stay on them around the clock for 36 hours.  Thankfully his number dropped 6 points within 18 hours which made this mommy very happy.  He is currently laying on 1 blanket and has to stay on it until the morning.  I will be thrilled when he has no blankets.  Its hard to snuggle and nurse him with glo blankets wrapped around him.

We're home!!!

We were discharged last night around 6:45! We were so thrilled to leave the hospital on day 2 instead of day 7 or never leaving the hospital. I am truly praising the Lord for Miller's health and quick stay. His culture came back negative at 6:00 and he was finished with all his antibiotics so everyone felt comfortable with us going home.

Leaving the hospital!


Miller's first night home he decided to stay up with mommy until 2:00 but I truly didn't mind because I was thrilled we were home! He is doing great eating and sleeping and is truly the sweetest baby.



Majority of the time Austin doesn't pay any attention to Miller but we did notice today him acting out a little more than usual. We think he was really wanting some extra attention so daddy spent some playing with him out in the rain. They splashed around in the puddles and had a great time.

my boys...

Miller is still doing great.  He is eating and sleeping like a champ and Austin is the best big brother.  I think he likes this more than Christmas.  He gets a new gift everyday from Miller and tons of special quality time with the grandparents.  We are still in the hospital but hoping to be discharged in the next hour.  They are waiting on the final results of the culture they took from Miller.  It will be read at 6:00 pm and then we are ready to hit the road.  We can't wait to have our family home together.  

Introducing...

Miller David Spence!

Miller was born at 3:04 pm weighing 7 lbs 14 ounces and is 21 inches long.  The delivery was wonderful and he is beautiful, healthy, and perfect.  We are thrilled to have him in our arms.  Austin has done great so far as a big brother.  I will post more pictures when I have time.
