Little Buddies!

I walk out this is what I see...so sweet.  I love it and I love my boys!

Luke had a Dr's appointment on Thursday and now he weighs in a 8.8.  He's in the 70th percentile in weight and 60th for height (in preemies).   He is pretty much out of newborn clothes and is getting cute little rolls on his legs.  The Dr said that he probably doesn't have reflux and it just from the medicine that he is on for sleep apnea.  It's breaks down to caffeine so no wonder why he doesn't sleep.  He will have to be one it at least one more month and cross our fingers he can come  off of it and sleep a little more at night. 

Like Father Like Son!

Aaron got a couple of presents for Marcus recently and thought I would post a few pcitures because if you know Aaron then you know of his love for shoes and Michael Jordan.

An Update from US!

Here's an update from us...Luke is eating sleeping and pooping and Marcus is running around with energizer batteries that keep on going and going and going. 

Well the more detailed version of events around our house are... Luke is now 7 weeks old today.  Wow time flies when you don't get any sleep.  Last Saturday he weighed in at a whooping 7 lbs 11 ounces.  That's actually a pretty good weight gain for a boy who started out so tiny.  We think that Luke has some reflux but right now the doctors want to hold off on any medicine to see how well he does and if it doesn't get any worse.  I feel so bad for the little guy as it seems he is pretty uncomfortable and not sleeping the greatest.  Marcus caught a cold last week so Luke has been in his own little isolation to make sure that he doesn't catch it.  Marcus is almost over it so soon he a Luke will be reunited.  Poor Marcus has been pretty sad that he can't see or hold the baby but a sick preemie baby is one thing we don't need.  Marcus as I said earlier is on the go almost all day.  He's been pretty good with me having to take care of Luke but that's probably because he gets to watch a little more TV than usual.  Well here's some updated pics from us...

Marcus loves the baby and to give him kisses on the head.

Marcus loves to help dad and mom cook it up in the kitchen.

He's here!

Luke is doing great!  He is off all breathing help and even eating all on his own now.  We are so blessed to have this little guy.  He is so sweet and a fighter!  This has been one of the longest weeks of my life.  It started out badly (going into labor 7 weeks early) to  being one of the greatest.  Being a mother is the biggest blessing a woman can have and I feel that I will never take it for granted again. 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

A pic of my boys!

Hello out there...

Well I think that I'm officially the biggest blog slacker alive.  I have thought about posting a ton of times it just never develops into doing it.  So I'm taking the plunge this morning and plan to at least post some recent pics of Marcus. 

Here's Marcus with cousin Emma at Thanksgiving...I know not so recent but it's cute.  It's so funny how opposite looking they are but they still both look like Prestwich's.

Here's Marcus playing his favorite game.  He loves football!  He can't get enough...he will even watch it on TV like it's the most entertaining show.  He knows all the actions and will do "down set hut", "fumble", "tackle" and "touchdown"!  I used to be his football buddy but the size of my belly makes it a little more difficult to tackle and fall down.  So right when Aaron walks through the down it's "football...football."  When Marcus gets his TV time almost a quarter of the time he wants to watch football....it's a good thing that we have a few games on DVR.  When he watches he'll go down and touch the ground when the play starts he starts running around and falls when the play is over.  His football is his comfort and he even sleeps with it.  He has worn it down the paint is coming off.  We'll need to find a replacement because if we were to lose it...oh heaven help us!

For Valentines Day I made the sugar cookies and Marcus helped.  He loves "helping" clean the beaters and putting some sprinkles one the cookies. 

 

Here's some pcis from last week with Daddy!  Everywhere we go and everyone we see always comments on how much Marcus looks like his dad.  He a little mini Aaron but with brown eyes and an olive complexion.  He even has lots of mannerisms like his dad.  I also tell Aaron, all the time, that he's stubburn like his dad too.

I 'll try to post some belly pics sometime soon.  I think that I'm a lot bigger than I was with Marcus.  I can't believe that in two months we'll soon have another to our little family.  We are so excited and a little scared on how it will be with two.  Marcus is such a sweetheart that I think that he will be very gentle and loving.
