A Few Updates....
Alright, lots to share, sorry for the serious slacking but I've been busy!! Anyways, Baby Jack is doing awesome, he is HUGE! At his 4 week check up he weighed in at a whopping 10 pounds 10 ounces!! He is sleeping alright but is really a wonderful baby, just kind of goes with the flow, which I am guessing most second children have to do!! You would think that I say I have been busy because of Baby Jack, but honestly it has been Hannah! Poor Hannah, must have fallen out of bed last Tuesday night, we don't know for sure because she was in bed when we found her but she woke up crying uncontrollably at 3:30 and nothing was making her better!! She was complaining about her right shoulder, so the next day we went to the doctor, she would still use it and we didn't want to x-ray her if we didn't have to so the doctor said to watch it for a few days!! Well, I tell you what, when Hannah is uncomfortable she is not the most pleasant child to be around, but I can't really blame her because last Friday we took her for X-rays and sure enough she has a broken collar bone!! I am not going to lie, we felt like horrible parents for waiting that long to find out, but honestly when we went to the Orthopedic Surgeon yesterday they didn't give her anything for it so I am guessing waiting a few days didn't hurt anything. They only told us to keep her from doing things like going down the slide or swinging, uh yeah right, you try telling a 2 year old that!! Anyways, the doctor said it should be completely healed in 3 weeks, and will feel better 7 - 10 days after it happened and honestly I think it has been feeling better since Sunday because she is back to the normal Hannah, which I am extremely thankful for! Since I have been a slacker, below are a bunch of fun pictures we have taken over the last month!!

Since we were still in the hospital for the Indianapolis Mini Marathon, Chuck decided to run the Geist Mini Marathon. So Hannah, Jack and I went down to the race to cheer Daddy on!!

Going home....
Playing a little catch up, since these are all pictures of the day we brought Jack home and yesterday he was one week old, but that's ok! We got to leave the hospital around noon on Saturday. Chuck was supposed to run the mini marathon that morning but considering the weather wasn't all that promising and the fact that he was sleeping on a pretty uncomfortable couch he opted out of the mini this year. I figure its better that way since I wasn't running it with him and we usually do that one together!!
Anyways, Grammy brought Hannah over to the hospital around the time we were going to leave so Hannah, Jack, Daddy and I could all go home together. Jack looked great when we left the hospital, he weighed in at 7 lbs 8 oz, so he hadn't lost all that much weight and his color was good. Lots of pictures below....
Jack William has arrived....
Jack William Dodge has arrived and he is amazing! He was born at 6:24 am on Thursday May 5, 2011 and he is perfect! He weighed in at a whopping 8 pounds and was 21 inches long.
Labor was quick, we were checked into the hospital at 5:30 am, and he was laying on top of me while Chuck was cutting the umbilical cord at 6:24 am!! Needless to say, this didn't allow any time to make things comfortable, Chuck and I still can't believe how quickly everything happened!
We are doing great, I am tired but feel good, Jack is working on the whole sleeping thing but already nursing like a champ so we are very happy about that!
As soon as we got settled we had the most important visitor of all...the new Big Sister and I do believe she is very proud!!
