Quick Update~

Just wanted to post some quick pictures of Evan. He's doing really well. In the beginning, the doctors were concerned because Evan was losing too much weight. He went from 7.5 lbs to 5.15 lbs. The pediatrician was very concerned, and we had to go back every few days for Evan to get weighed. Thankfully, 2 weeks later, Evan is now at 6.7 lbs, which is still way below what he is supposed to be. But, he seems to be on the up-and-up!

Evan is up every 3 hours (which means, so are we!) and is such a good baby. He's pretty quiet when he's not nursing, but he's starting to get more and more alert and awake these last 2 or 3 days.

The girls are just eating Evan up! Jada has been home with me, and she's been a big help. It's nice to get to spend some time with her. Joli is still going to school, and she absolutely misses Evan during the day. She's very helpful in the morning - holding Evan so that I can go and brush my teeth or get breakfast ready for everyone. Jada is great entertaining Evan when he's crying, too!

So, here you go! Some cute pictures of Evan in his swing for the first time. He seems to like it!






Tomorrow, both Jada and Evan have to go to the retina specialist for dilated exams. Jada hasn't been in almost a year, and this will be Evan's first. Hopefully, it'll also be one of the last....

Joli is going to start her appointments with the VHL clinic soon. We're just waiting on some of our blood tests to come back. She'll be the youngest patient in their clinic. I'm sure more to come on that one, later.

Enjoy!

He is SO precious! Glad he is gaining weight. Hope you get to rest soon... I will be praying for the doc visits. Love to all of you!
