The First Week

Evan's Bodyguard

The first semi-bath. He screamed the entire time.

First time in the stroller

First family walk

Well, we have almost made it through week number one. We are all doing great. Evan was slightly jaundiced when we left the hospital so we had to go to the Dr. on Monday for a weight and bilirubin check. His level was again on the high side so we worked out a feeding plan and then returned on Tuesday for another weight and bilirubin check. The level on Tuesday was on the way down and he had gained 2 oz. in a day so the pediatrician was happy with those results. We do have to go back on Friday just to check his level one more time. He is eating really well and is quite the poop machine. Tom has been great at changing all his diapers which is a lot.

We went on our first family walk on Monday night and Evan loved it. Elway was pretty excited as well. He has done really well with adjusting to having someone else in the house. He likes to sniff him a lot and also loves to lick his feet and head every once in a while. We have had a few visitors this week and the church we go to has been providing meals for us every other day which has been wonderful. We haven't had to cook yet! We are blessed to have such a great church community.

Tom is going to go back to work next week so my mom will be coming up on Sunday and staying for the week. I am really look forward to having her around for a while.

We will keep you posted as our adventure with Evan continues. Again, thanks to everyone for all prayers and well wishes. We are loving being parents!!!!
