two weeks old

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

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.

Made it Home

We made it home from the hospital this afternoon. Both kids are sleeping so I thought I would quickly post a couple of pictures before I head off to bed myself.

miriam loves giving him kisses

Simon Crane Bishop

Our little bundle of joy was born Friday April 8, 2011 at 8:03 pm. He weighed in at 9 pounds 12 ounces. He was 20 1/2 inches long. He is a big boy. We are so excited that he is here. Mom and baby are doing well.

Today is the Day

We are off to the hospital...

I can't believe I am posting this awful picture.



I am making up for it by posting a picture of Miriam.

Little Helper

Miriam loves to help around the house. She gets her need to clean from her mom.
