"Evie Cakes"

Yes, Evan is now "Evie Cakes" according to Joli!

The girls are having a ball with their new baby brother. We had a tough go in the beginning - Evan had lost quite a bit of weight and the doctor was really concerned. But, he's steadily gaining weight back and doing much better.

Just realized today that we have NINE doctors appointments in SIX weeks. The retina specialist wants to see Evan at least a few times before clearing him of Rb, and he'll see Jada at the same time. Then, we'll be starting appointments for Joli's VHL, my post-partum visits, and then lots of pre-cancer follow ups that I had put off while pregnant. In the words of Teetah Grace, "Oh, graaayt."

Other than that, Jada has been enjoying time with Jorge who has been home for the past 2 1/2 weeks. They have been spending quality time at the library during story time and running around doing errands. I can see Jorge in Jada's words/actions/etc. She may LOOK like me, but she is exactly like Jorge!

So, here are some of the latest pictures from our family! Enjoy!

OH my goodness. Just found out. Congratulations to the 5 of you! I knew Jorge had Y chromosome hidden somewhere. Evan is just as adorable as his two older sisters. Nice to see them adjusting well. Sorry to hear about the doc appts :( On the up side, Liza you don't look like you delivered a baby!!!!!! I guess 3rd time makes you a pro... Lots of Love, the Panganibans
