Big Trip

We're leaving this morning to visit Sarah's family in Missouri. Many of them will be meeting Abraham for the first time. He seems very content riding in the car and is generally very well behaved away from home, but he's never been away this long so we'll see how he does. We plan to return home next weekend. Please have a very happy and safe new year everybody!

Merry Christmas!!

First Outing

The weather was finally cooperative enough to let us take Abe for his first stroll around the block.

What are you doing this weekend?

From the day a child is born until he graduates high school,
you have 940 weekends together.

If he is now in Kindergarten, you have 636 weekends left.
If he is now in 3rd grade, you have 468 weekends left.
If he is now in 5th grade, you have 364 weekends left.
If he is now in 9th grade, you have 208 weekends left.
If he is now a senior in high school, you have very few.

What are you going to do this weekend?

Make it count.

Two Week Checkup

Mom and baby are doing great. I'm so proud of both of them. Abraham up is back up to his birth weight and then some. Now 5 lbs. 14 oz.

One Week Checkup

Abraham had his one week (actually, more like 5 day) checkup on Monday. Everything looks good. He's 5th percentile for weight and height and about 25th percentile for head circumference. He weighed 5 lbs 8oz, so he's gained 3 oz. since leaving the hospital Thursday evening. We need him to get closer to his birth weight of 5 lbs 11oz by next Monday. Fortunately, he's not letting one drop of Mommy's milk go to waste.

Pictures. Finally.

The past week has flown by. We've cherished every second. Our little boy is growing up fast. :[

I'm very sorry about the wait for pictures and really appreciate everyone's patience. I know many have not had a chance to see any. Please click here for pictures.
