Eli had his 1 month check up today. He weighed in at a whopping 9 lbs 9 oz and is 22.5 inches. Didn't know a baby could gain 4 pounds and grow 3 inches in a month. We were shocked!!! Think he's making up for being born early. He's in the 90% for his height and 50% for weight. Just one shot and one unhappy baby!
We now have reflux medicine to give Eli. Obviously the reflux isn't keeping him from gaining weight but he is miserable after eating so we are looking forward to having a happy baby soon. We were excited that Eli "showed off" for his doctor today. She put him on his tummy and he lifted his head up and started looking around the room. He thinks he's big stuff now.
Kevin is feeling much better. No fever the last 2 days and coughing sounds better. Still not eating but that will change I'm sure.
Preparing for more snow tonight and tomorrow. This will be the 3rd time it has snowed since Eli was born. Texas weather for you!!!

new year, new blog, new baby
welcome to the new sasser family blog! let me catch you up on our latest addition....
we welcomed the birth of our second baby, eli craig sasser, on 1/7 at 4:56pm. eli weighed 6lbs 3oz. he wasn't due until 1/30 but apparently had other plans. I woke up that Friday morning feeling strange. I cannot describe the feeling other than I knew something wasn't right. I was checked out by my doctor at 10:00 that morning and returned to work. I was pleased with the news I had dilated to a 3 but knew that meant very little....or so I thought. contractions started around 11am except I had no idea that's what I was feeling. like any other pregnant woman food was always on my mind and Friday meant nachos at the hospital. my good friend Elizabeth, worried about my pain level, had already joked that she would be eating lunch alone. nonsense!!! no pain was keeping me from food. I stood up at desk at noon and my water broke. that got my attention quick! I was entering the doors of Baylor at 12:30 and in a room by 1:00. my doctor visited me and informed me I was at a 5. holy cow! this baby was coming...ready or not. things continued to progress quickly and by 4:45 my doctor was being paged. 3 pushes later eli was born. it was the easiest and fastest delivery. I was thrilled to say the least. eli was a perfect little blonde hair blue eyed baby. nothing like big brother Kevin! regardless of being early he spent no time in the NICU, had no issues with jaundice and no eating problems.
fast forward 1 month. eli is growing like a weed. kevin is loving his baby brother and we are just in awe that we have 2 boys. life is busy but we are loving it. check in for more updates and pictures of our sasser boys!
