Two months and napping strong

Well, it's been a long time since our last update...it is amazing how the days blur together and while each hour seems to go by slowly the weeks are flying. Connor turned two months yesterday - it is so hard to believe that our lives have changed so much in such a short period of time - it seems like he has been part of our family forever already. Maybe that's because he lived in our hearts long before he was born...

1 Week Old - 6lbs

1 Month Old - 6lb 10oz

2 Months Old - 9lb 13oz

Connor and I are working on a routine each day, a sleeping-eating-napping schedule. It is starting to emerge, he takes a great afternoon nap most days...but lately he has given up sleeping in until 9am, I am definitely missing that! I am lucky now if I can get up and at least throw on some clothes before he is screaming for his first bottle of the day. Forget a shower...what is it like to shower on a daily basis? I am out of touch with that feeling these days.

We have had to switch him over to formula, at least for this week, because he has been very jaundiced for the last several weeks. It is amazing how quickly his eyes have turned back to white and his skin is becoming more fair. He had a fabulous "tan" since he was born, but it is now going away. It is very traumatic to try to get his blood tested for the jaundice, and we are going back to the hospital on Friday, so keep Connor in your prayers that we don't have to do a difficult proceedure to draw his blood and that it comes back within normal ranges!

We are looking forward to a very busy spring and early summer....with weddings, beach trips to the Outer Banks and Ocean Isle Beach, as well as fixing up our yard and hopefully having a few BBQs with our friends!

Until our next update....I'll leave you with some pictures of our last two months!
