Hello Again!

Yes, we are still alive! So much for blogging in a few days! It's amazing how fast schedules change. Evan is doing great and starting to put on some weight. He is currently 6lb 12oz. He had his first well-baby check up on Monday and the doctor said keep doing what we're doing because he is looking great. Evan had some jaundice due to the fact that his liver was a little immature, but that has cleared up and he is starting to enjoy his bottle. He sleeps through the night although we still have to wake him every four hours for a bottle. Once he's taking more per bottle and gains a little weight we can let him sleep for longer periods of time. At this point he is still sleeping a lot (about 16-20 hours a day). When he is awake he is calm and very interested in his surroundings. The only time he really cries is when he's hungry or has gas. Justin is doing a great job with helping. Evan really responds to his Daddy. It's so cute to watch the two of them. We are getting used to the lack of sleep and the feedings every couple of hours. I have finally started sleeping in between feedings at night and not jumping up every time Evan whimpers. My mother-in-law spent the first three nights with us which was a huge blessing! Justin's dad and his wife were here for two days with us. I will post some pictures of that later. My parents are arriving July 8 for 12 days which we are definitely looking forward to! We might even get five hours of sleep in a row!

My Grandson is handsome. I am so pleased that he has arrived. Grandpa was very happy to come and visit him and most of all hold him and rock him to sleep.
