3 weeks

in deep thought:)

cuddle time

Ethan is now 3 weeks old! We celebrated this morning by going on a family walk! I would say it was our first "long" walk where I actually broke a sweat and wore my nike workout shorts.....and it felt great!!!! I can't wait until we are cruising the park with Ethan's buddies....Kellen and Paxton and their mom Courtney! I'm still nervous when we venture outside of our home without the comforts of swings, vibrating chairs, bassinets, sound machines, etc. I never knew I would be so dependent on all the baby "stuff" that you register for and wonder if you'll actually need. Well.....we needed it and use it daily!!!! Just the other day David said he was sending Fisher Price a thank you letter for helping our son sleep for 3-4 hours!

Daddy's 1st....

Ethan in the morning...."hi guys"

napping after a long day of photos!!!!

Today we had a photographer come to our house to shoot Ethan's newborn photos. It started a little "runny" when we were doing a few naked baby pictures and Ethan pooed on Daddy's just-took-the-tag-off white polo! It's a good thing Daddy had a back up in his closet! Mommy soon afterward got peed on as well!!! We can't wait to see the pictures!

the best 2 weeks....

playing in my crib!

i love my doggie pillow in my crib

Today Ethan bear is 2 weeks old! I get teary just thinking about the day he was born and how it seems as though it was just yesterday. Every day goes faster than the day before. My friends have warned me how fast times goes...they have been right!

Today was the first day I've been home with Ethan without visitors or his Nana or Grandma here (his daddy was working). So far so good (but we still have a few hours to go)! Our plans for an afternoon stroll were derailed by a few summer thunderstorms. No big deal except Alex was nervous nelly for an hour or so!

Today Ethan is officially one week old. I'm amazed at how fast this week has passed. We have been covered in love and support from friends and family. You all have kept us well fed and loved....a big thank you to all of you.


We gave his first "at home" bath the night before his pediatrician appointment. He did very well! He seemed to like it....especially the ultra soft polo bath towel from Grandma! Needless to say mommy needed a bath afterwards from the pee that occurred just before putting little necked Ethan in his tub! I've never laughed so hard or been so happy to be soaked in pee!

Ethan had his first followup appointment at the pediatrician's office. He had gained one ounce since his discharge weight! Good job little man! He now weighs 8 pounds 8 ounces.

While Daddy was working and Nana was grocery shopping, I decided to try out the new wheels....the stroller! Ethan loved it! I can't wait until I have more energy to go for longer walks with him.
