Well, another week has flown by with our little man. He is now 3 weeks old and weighing in at 11lbs and 2 ounces. We went to the pediatrician on Friday for another well visit. So far, Ellison is doing well...especially eating! The nurse practitioner encouraged us to give Ellison some "tummy time" and he is loving it. She also said that we could let him sleep past the 3 hour limit for feedings so he has actually made it 4 hours at a time. Matthew and I are loving the extra hour of sleep:). It's amazing what an extra hour will do for you. We also went for the follow-up visits with the urologist(Dr. Teague) and surgeon(Dr. Abrams) on Tuesday. They both went well. We will see Dr. Abrams in six weeks and Dr. Teague in about 4-6months.
We have had several visitors this week including Great Grandma Eleanor, Great Grandma Barbara, Blake & Ashley, and of course the grandparents. Ellison was also able to meet some of the extended family this week. He was thrilled to meet Aunt Tammy, Uncle Steve, Aunt Carolyn, and Uncle Jerry. He said cousins Scott, Paula, Ragon, and Kendall were pretty cool as well.
Today, we were able to see the Bells and the Bagwells during Grandma Eleanor's 70th birthday party. We had a great time and Ellison of course stole the show.
Matthew and I are still so excited about our sweet boy. Although our lives have changed dramatically, we are enjoying every minute of the journey. If you ever want some good laughs, come to our house between 1am-3am at night...it usually gets pretty comical by then.
Have a great week and enjoy the pics below!
