Welcome to the world, Jacob Kevin!

Jacob Kevin was born last night around 8:30 weighing 5lbs 8oz. He is having some breathing problems and possibly has a hole in his lungs. We should get more information as the day continues and hope all the news is good news. Mom is doing good!

If one wasn't enough....

Mommy and daddy were right in our assumption that Kevin was teething. We had no idea that he would be getting his 4 top teeth in at one time!!!! Poor little guy is miserable. I stayed home with him today after he ran fever of 102 all night. Today was a little better but when his fever spikes, he throws up. Lucky for me - I was holding him both times he threw up. Fun times with mommy!

I'm hoping for a much better night. 2 of the 4 teeth are completely in and the other 2 are almost here. I cannot even believe he's going to have all 4 of his top teeth in a matter of a week.

Continue praying for Stephen and Amy. They are inducing Amy on Friday so we will meet baby Jacob very soon!

Everywhere a Da-da

We didn't know that everything was da-da! Kevin was playing by the back door yesterday and I could hear him just talking away. When I looked up, this is what I got. It's only a matter of time before the curtains on the back door are taken down by little hands!

The top tooth that we waited so long for decided to hide again. We think (and hope) it's starting to come back. Kevin woke up twice during a 4 hour nap today...both times screeming his head off and running a high fever. We think he's starting to teeth again and possibly going through a growth spurt which is causing him to sleep so much. Again, both are guesses - we have no idea what's going on with him - we just hope it's teething : ) 4 hour naps are NOT normal for Kevin...neither is sleeping through the night which he's done the past 4 nights.

Enjoy the videos!!!!



Playing with daddy is so much fun!!!

Da-Da

Yay for Kevin for learning that he can get anything he wants by saying two simple words.....Da-Da. Ben melted last night when our little man was pulling up on the couch to see what we were eating and starts saying....da-da, da-da, da-da. We both paused and looked at him. He looks right up at Ben and smiles. What a sweetheart!

Please add Ben’s brother Stephen and his wife Amy to your prayer list. They are expecting the arrival of baby Jacob Kevin Sasser on August 1st. Amy is having to see a specialist this week to make sure all is well with baby Jacob – there’s a chance that he didn’t grow like he was supposed to in this last trimester. We’re praying for a safe delivery and healthy baby for Stephen and Amy.

New Tooth for Kevin!!

Yay - Kevin's top tooth is finally showing it's face. He's been suffering for about 2 weeks but after sticking my finger in his mouth about a hundred times a day, I can finally feel the tooth. He's crawling and pulling up on things like crazy. He even gets brave and tries to stand on his own.

We continue to enjoy every second we spend with our little man. He's so much fun and constantly makes us laugh.

Waiting for my boys....

....TO WAKE UP!!!! Ben is still fast asleep after a long night at work. And then there's Kevin. We made our monthly trip to urgent care this morning. He has been feeling under the weather the past week and nothing has seemed to work. The last couple of days he's been fighting a fever and bad cough. This morning he woke up with fever, cough and his right eye swollen shut. Bless his little heart. He looked miserable. He was eating great but I was still thinking it was possibly an ear infection. Thank goodness it wasn't!! He has a bad URI and pink eye. Now we get to fight to get eye drops in him 3 times a day. Who is the genious that thinks you can put eye drops in any child under the age of 10? There has got to be an easier way.

Kevin has been sleeping so much this weekend. I'm talking 12 hours of sleep at night and several naps during the day. Hopefully all this sleep is making him feel better. As of now, he's been asleep since 1:30. Total, he's had about 6 hours worth of naps today since waking up at 6:00.

Praying for a fun and uneventful week! It's going to be a crazy week at work with staff out so Kevin needs to feel better and make it all day.

Swim lessons are over!

We finished up swim lessons Thursday night and enjoyed having daddy home for 4th of July. Thinking back, we realized that this was the first time Ben has been off for the 4th. We didn't do anything special but enjoyed being together for a couple of days. Kevin is still feeling yucky. He has a terrible cough but has been in a great mood and so far he's eating great. He was running a fever when he woke up this morning so I'm hoping he's not trying to come down with anything. The antibiotic seems to be keeping those ear infections away!!

Enjoy the pictures!
