It's been awhile, but it seems like i'm always saying it. Dax is starting to get huge! He wants to eat all the time. Now, if he would only sleep through the night! He still wants to get up every three hours to eat. You'd think we were starving the kid. I don't have any offical stats. It's been a long time since he has been to the doctor.  I'll let everyone know when we get some numbers on him.

Valentine's Day has come and gone. Graham was sick so Tracy and I didn't get to do anything. It seems like he is sick on every holiday or special day. He was sick on Valentine's Day, Christmas, and his birthday. We got a cookie bouquet from Nanna Sue.This year's bouquet was a little different. There were cookies with the kid's names on them. They thought they were really special.

Dax is already two weeks old! It's amazing how fast time flies when you have four kids to take care of.  Tracy took Dax (and all the other kids) to the doctor this week.  He was the only one that came home without some sort of prescription!  He has already put on some weight and he should since he eats better than any of the other three ever ate!  8 lbs. 5 oz is what he weighed at the doctor this week!

We also had our first adventure with all six of us going out to eat at a restaurant.  The good thing is it wasn't McDonalds.  Rib Crib is one of the places we like to go.  Not because the food is the best in the world, but all five of us (the only ones eating) can eat there for under $30!  We apparently did pretty well and even managed to get a couple complements on how well our kids behaved!

I added some more pictures to the Photos section of the site.

We had a late Christmas gift this year. Dax was born on 12/27/2008! He was 7lbs. 13oz. and 20 and 3/4 inches long. The circumstances around his birth were a little interesting. If you've known us very long you'd just think this is the norm.  There were interesting circumstances around all four of our kids' births. At least things weren't as strange as they were with the other kids. 

We had a c-section scheduled for the 23rd, but the amnio on Monday said he wasn't ready.  So we scheduled the c-section for the 31st to give his lungs some time to mature. Tracy woke up on the 27th and was feeling a little strange and her stomach was hard.  As many of you know, this can be a symptom of a ruptured uterus, except she wasn't having excruciating pain. The doctor recommended she come in to the hospital since he was on call anyway. Off she went to the hospital (St. John's), with Graham tagging along (This wasn't the first time she went to the hospital this pregnancy, so we didn't think much of it.).  I took the girls to Target, in Owasso, to do some shopping.

Well, while waiting in line at the service desk at Target I get a call from Tracy.  She tells me to drop what I'm doing and head to the hospital. Dax is coming out! At least I got my return done before having to leave! It turns out her uterus had thinned out to 1.5mm from 3mm a couple of weeks prior. There was concern about a uterus rupture the entire pregnancy. This came from the discovery, during the third c-section, of her uterus being extremely thin. So the whirlwind began.

Everything turned out fine. Both Tracy and Dax are doing great!  We brought Dax home the following Tuesday and Reagan can't put him down.  She is totally the mothering type!  Graham and Reese were pretty interested in him at first, but they are slowly losing interest in him.

I have uploaded some picture in the photos section of the site.
