I look good!

 Here are photos from when I was 3 weeks old. My mommy and daddy had someone come to the house to take my picture. I don't mean to brag....but I look good. My cousin, Riley, said green was my favorite color, and I think that color does look pretty good on me.

I'm ONE month!!!!

I am ONE month old!!!! 

I'm almost the size of a football! I am 6 lbs 5 oz and I grew 2 inches! I'm 20 inches long! I'm starting to grow into my big hands and feet!

And here are some pictures with my eyes open. I've started playing on my play mat and staying awake a little longer.I like to look at bright colored objects.

My cousin Logan told me about this lounger chair, so my mommy went out and got me one... it's pretty comfortable!

What I've been up to...

A lot of you have been wondering what I have been up to.... well I had a little acid reflux, so that has kept me from posting. I'm still doing a lot of eating and sleeping. Those are my favorite things to do...oh and lots of cuddling of course. Yesterday was my first real "outing". I went out to lunch with mommy and daddy. It was so fun!  And today I went to visit daddy at work. Pop Pop was there too. And so was big Pop Pop. Everyone was excited to meet me. I like the way they run that place....I think I'll get a JEEP in a few years...when I can sit up on my own. Well I'm gonna go cuddle with mommy now!

I'm two! (weeks!)

Today was supposed to be my "birthday" but since I came early, yesterday was my two week birthday! I've been really hungry and keeping mommy really busy, so she didn't have time to post yesterday and I thought I would give her a break and post today. (I think I spell better than mommy too.) I've been a really good eater, and when I went to the Dr's yesterday, I gained 5 oz since my last visit! I'm up to 5lb 8oz.I'm out of 'premie' clothes in into the New born size! I'm still smaller than my cousin Logan. Even though we were born on the same day, I'm getting his hand-me down new born clothes. Mommy thinks it's funny.

These are pictures from my first bath. I know I don't look very happy, but I was good! I liked the water, and I didn't cry until the bath was over. And once I got bundled up in my warm towel and snuggled against mommy, I was happy. Other than eating, sleeping, and pooping, I haven't been doing too much. I like to snuggle with mommy during the day. And when daddy gets home at night he reads me a book, so I look forward to that all day. I live a pretty good life!

Drew Dreamining of His 1st Touchdown

Welcome Home!!!

Happy 1 week to our little man! (And his cousin Logan!)

We want to thank everyone for keeping Drew in your prayers. "Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones." Genesis 50:21. God is great. All the prayers and his guardian angel, Paige, helped bring all of us through the stress of having our little man in the NICU. Now he's home with us and starting to get big and strong! He did great on his first car ride home... slept the whole time. And Aurora was excited to meet him! We think he likes his room, we'll try to post a video of the "welcome home tour" later.

For anyone who wants to visit, we ask that you call first. And if you are sick, please don't come over! He'll still be as cute tomorrow as he is today. Well, maybe he'll be even cuter!

He has arrived!!!!

Wow! What a surprise we were in for! Our little man arrived 2 weeks early, and at record speed! We knew June 21st  was going to be a special day because Janice was going to be induced and we were ready to welcome our nephew, Logan Patrick Moore, into the world. All went smooth with her delivery, and we can't wait to meet him! Little did we know, in a few short hours, we would be experiencing the same joy. Around 4 pm Tuesday June 21st, I started noticing that what I thought was "braxton hicks" was actually starting to get regular. I joked with Janice earlier that day that I was having sympathy contractions... then these sympathy contractions were 5-7 minutes apart...Trey and I decided it was time to take a trip to the hospital. We checked in at 7pm, and at 10:48pm, after two big pushes, Wayne Franklin Schmidt IV or as we will call him "Drew" came into the world. What a beautiful boy.

Some of you may be wondering, where does "Drew" come from? Well, he is "the fourth" soo Quad "Drew" plet. We think it fits the little guy. And speaking of little.... our little man only weighed 4lbs 15 oz, so he is low birth weight. the concern is that he doesn't have enough body fat to regular his temperature, so he uses up all his sugar and energy to keep his body warm and when his blood sugar drops, that is dangerous.  He is in NICU right now hooked up to an IV so that his sugar stays up and he doesn't have any complications, and we can go see him and hold him whenever we want. He is doing great, but not being a good eater. Please keep him in your prayers, we want to bring him home as soon as we can. So he needs to eat and get big!

He is absolutely beautiful, and what blessing to share his birthday with Logan. Birthday twins!

Words cant describe how much love we have for him.
