one week

Our little Simon is one week old today. Here is a bit of what life has been like for us.

four days old


miriam loves his little features.
she always points out his little hands and feet.


simon has to have a biliblanket for his jaundice


miriam took this picture today.
she loves her little brother.



miriam enjoyed blowing bubbles with michael today.
we enjoy the nice weather as it comes.

Overall we are doing well. Miriam is adjusting well to Simon. The initial love of holding him has worn off, but she still wants to check on him all the time. Simon is eating and sleeping well. We are hoping to get rid of the biliblanket very soon. He has been on it since Tuesday. It has been frustrating having to go see the doctor everyday. We go back to the pediatrician on Monday and are hoping for some good news. As of today he is already back up to 9 pounds after having lost a little over a pound in the hospital. We feel like he is doing well. We are trying to enjoy all the time together at home.

Congrats you guys! I can't believe how far technology has come. I didn't even know what a biliblanket was. Scotty had jaundice and had to be in one of the light bed things for a while. So crazy. Hope it all turns out well this week! Miss you guys!!!
