Yesterday we took Kaden for his 4-month check up. We're a little behind on that. The doctor said that developmentally he's right on target. However, his food intake is needing to be increased because he hasn't gained that much weight since the last time I took him in. He is currently below the third percentage for his age, which means he's a tiny little guy. But, we go back in two weeks for a weight check. Hopefully then he will have gained at least a few ounces if not a pound or two. Currently he stands at 11lbs. 4oz. Tiny, I know. So we're bumping up his formula from 4oz to 6oz a feeding along with cereal/applesauce.
Some new things with me as well. I am currently filling out job applications in the area for a part time job. So far the candidates are Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Family Christian Store, Old Navy, Target, and Best Buy. The only reason I want to get a job is so that we can have a little more cash in hand. We are making right now just on Jimmie's job, but I think that we would both feel better if we had just a little more to help. With that comes the part about what to do with the baby. Well, Jimmie's mom, Debra lives about an hour away from us and has agreed to watch him about once or twice a week. Jimmie's step-mother's mother Marilyn has also agreed to watch him whenever it is needed. And Jimmie can watch at night when he comes home from work. At this age we are still skeptical about putting him in a daycare center. You never know if you can trust those kind people.
I just pray everything works out already for everyone!
