Aunt Whit is here

Aunt Whit is here for a four day visit. She is helping mommy and daddy out with feeding me, burping me (she slowly is getting better), and changing me. What a treat to have her here.

mommy is really battling sleep deprivation.....

Thanks Katie and Keenan!

Mommy and daddy really appreciated and enjoyed the meal from Bertucci's. What a treat for them to have dinner show up at the door. Thank you very much.
A couple of new pics of me.....

and then a picture that had mommy and daddy laughing......

Great weekend with Grandpa and Grandma

Even though it was a quick visit, it was nice to meet my grandparents. They even watched me for a couple of hours on sunday when mommy and daddy ran some errands. Sunday morning I also had the opportunity to meet my great uncle Paul and Margaret.

Grandpa and Grandma are coming today

Grandpa and Grandma arrive today for a quick visit. Mommy is giving me a bath today and then dressing me up real pretty because she knows grandma is going to take a lot of pictures. After my trip to  the ER earlier in the week, I am doing better and my bilirubin count is going down. Also, I am almost back up to my full birth weight. The weather has been so nice here this week that mommy and daddy took me for my first walk.

Daddy is getting really good at swaddling me!

Going Home

It felt good to get out of the hospital, especially since mommy and me have been trapped in our area and we couldn't leave the floor. Because I was smaller than mommy thought I was going to be (she hoped I was a twenty pound baby so she wouldn't have to lose as much weight), the outfit that she had picked out for me was to big, so we had so go with something that fit me better. I look so tiny in my car seat.

Looking back on Monday, May 16th

What a day yesterday was. We were discharged from the hospital at three o'clock in the afternoon, only to head back to the ER at night. We were so happy to leave the hospital and get back to our pla
ce. Later in the evening mommy and daddy thought something just wasn't right with the way I was acting- they thought I was acting to lethargic. Daddy took my temperature under my armpit, and it said 95.6 which was to low. He called our pediatrician, and she said to take a rectal temperature which was 96.2. So it was off to the ER at the recommendation of the doctor. After being checked out by the doctors and being poked for blood work, it turns our my bilirubin count was still high, which was effecting the jaundice that I was battling. If the bilirubin count was a little higher I would have been admitted, but luckily mommy and daddy were able to leave the hospital with me at 3 am. We have an appointment with my pediatrician today where we hope to get more answers.
On a different note, we have had some great visitors so far.........

PROUD GRANDPARENTS

GEORGETOWN CUPCAKES!!

Thanks 'Auntie' Jessica Erbacher for the great treat. Daddy and the nurses are loving them, and mommy can't wait to eat one later tonight.

Hi !!!!!!!!!!!!

At 8:29 this morning, I came into this world weighing 6 pounds, 5 ounces, and I am 20 inches long. Though I sucked in a bunch of fluid right before I came our, the doctors did a great job sucking everything out. Mommy did a great job. Though she was a little anxious when they were putting her IV in, she stayed calm through the whole surgery.

and daddy can't stop smiling

One More Day!!!

Mommy off to her last day at work. It's just a short half day of work today, but just long enough to keep her distracted.
When daddy was washing all my clothes earlier this week, he said he found a shirt that is going to be my favorite.....

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO MY MOMMY

Beautiful day in Annapolis yesterday for mommy and daddy. They had a great time walking around the city and then walking around the campus of the Naval Academy. It was topped off with dinner with 'Auntie' Mary.

One More Week

If everything stays true to the plan, one week from today I will be born. Mommy is ready to get me out- she has been having a hard time sleeping lately. I think because I'm getting so big I'm putting a lot of pressure on her bladder, so she's having to get up quite often during the night. Daddy is going to be busy washing my clothes today, but first he has to cut all the tags off. Mommy can't wait to show me off in some of the outfits!

Almost here!!

Eleven days from now, at 8am, I will be delivered by c-section. Unfortunately, I am too busy trying to be a gymnast right now to even think about being born. I am in a pike position, butt down, which I'm told is called Frank breech. Since I can't be delivered that way, mommy and daddy were able to plan which day I am going to come into this world. Friday, May 13th it is!!!!
