One month old

Oliver is one month old today, and yesterday was my official due date. Never would have dreamed he would arrive this early!

My cousin Ashley was due January 20th. And I say "was" because she just had her baby girl Ava on December 26 which is our grandfather's birthday. She weighed 6 pounds 9oz. I think they must have had her due date off. Here is a picture of Ava. She is already home and doing great!

And speaking of sharing birthdays, I don't think I ever mentioned that Oliver was born on my uncle Thomas' birthday. Thomas is my dads brother and likes to ride Harley Davidson motorcycles with my dad. I guess we all know what Oliver is going to be doing when he's old enough:)

Congrats to your cousin and Happy 1 month Oliver. Wow, that went fast.

Isn't it funny how some preemies come out weighing that of a full term baby? I thought Roman and Isaak were good weights for preemie twins (4lbs 12oz and 5lbs 4oz at 33w 5d).
But their weights fooled me when they ended up with an almost 3 week nicu stay. haha

I wanna see more pics of Oliver!!!

(random commenter) your son and your new baby cousin are both ADORABLE! They probably weren't off on your cousin's date as long as she had good prenatal care. 6lbs is actually pretty average for a 36 weeker. My little guy, born at 34 weeks 2 days, was 5lbs 7ozs and my EDD via u/s matched right up to my O date and LMP. :) I belong to a preemie board and it seems 5-6lbs is pretty average for 35-36 weekers.. your little miracle was just a teeny little thing. :) Congratulations to you both.
