Gideon's 3 Month Checkup

Gideon had his 3 month checkup today. He's getting so big! 10 lb 12 oz, he's gained 2 pounds in a month!

The doctor said he's doing very well, and we just need to keep up the weight gain. The only thing we really need to work on is his sensory reflexes, such as reaching for objects and holding onto them. The doctor is also hoping that he will be making more vocal noises very soon. Other then that, he's healthy and growing well. The doctor was very impressed with the amount of growth over just the last month. We have another appointment set up for his 4 month. So the next update about him will probably be then.

Papa (Alex) and I are doing very well. Recently I was able to get down to the weight i was at my first pregnancy check in, so now I'm just working at loosing the baby belly. It's slowly going away so that makes me happy. Alex was a little nervous at first about being a dad, but I have seen a lot of improvement over the past 3 months. He enjoys playing with Gideon and having Gideon sit on his lap while he plays games.

Gideon is sleeping more during the night now, so Alex and I are getting some sleep now and are finding time to be a couple as well. I'm very happy that even though Gideon has changed our lives drastically  we still get to  be a couple and get out now and then. Thank you to all the babysitters in our lives!

Thanks for reading and God Bless.

Happy little 3 month old!
