Here is a long overdue update on Team Shelle.
Isaac is doing GREAT !! We went to the doctor last Monday (8/31) and he weighed in at 6lb 1oz and was still 20 inches long. The doc said that everything looked really good and since he is past his birth weight and not really a preemie (size wise) we don't have to go back until his one month check up. He continues to do great with the nursing despite being tongue tied (the doctor said that as long as he is eating they don't need to do any intervention for this). He is a very pleasant baby so far - only really fussing when he wants to eat or be held. Unfortunately he wants to eat about every 1 1/2 to 2 hours so that means not so much sleep for mom (though I have gotten really good at nursing in my sleep). We are hoping that he will start to sleep a little more but for now we are just going on Isaac's schedule.
Aiden continues to amaze me adjusting to the new addition. He is very interested in the baby, likes to pat his head, and gives him his paci (whether Isaac wants is to not) when he is fussing. He hasn't really shown any jealousy though we have worked really hard to make sure we are still giving Aiden the attention he needs. As of the 31st he is officially 2 which is just crazy to me - it seems like just yesterday that he was born.
As for us - Aaron has started another semester at CMU and I am enjoying maternity leave. Since our lives pretty much revolve around the boys now there is not much new to report about us :)
