Weekend, Preemie Clinic

This weekend, we were in Lisbon and Enderlin for Josh's cousin's wedding. Jax met ... I don't even know how many people and cuddled with a lot of them. He was pretty good with it all. We worried that he'd squawk in the middle of the wedding so we sat at the back of the church in case we had to make a quick exit. He ended up sleeping through the whole ceremony, thankfully. Josh and I started to worry, since everyone else with younger kids sat at the back with us and a few minutes into the ceremony they each started getting antsy or crying... we were just waiting til Jax decided to join the club. He was at the wedding reception long enough to meet some more people, talk cars with Grandpa Jim, and get his first dancing lesson from Grandma Linda. He spent the rest of the night at my parents with his uncle Tanner babysitting him (which means he probably got a couple lessons in baseball too this weekend).

Sunday we had brunch with family and then stopped in Enderlin to visit a friend of mine that was in town for the week. It was a good visit, I haven't seen Heather for at least ten years! Crazy. We met her little girl, Olivia, who is such a sweetheart and her husband, Ryan.

This morning, Jax and I went to the clinic for preemie clinic where he saw his NICU doctor and the occupational therapist. Jax weighed in at 8 pounds, 8 ounces ~ a little lower than what he should be, so we're back to trying to fatten him up... Anyways, the OT says that everything looks good. The doctor says that his muscle tone is a little low, so we will be doing exercises with him everyday for awhile. Now we don't go back to preemie clinic until the end of August, so we've got lots of time to pudge up and get some muscles.
