One week down....

Elliot is one week old today. Photographer Jessica Fanning came and took pictures of him when he was just 5 days old. She got some amazing shots! Check out her website at www.jessicafanning.com...

Elliot is 2 days old!

I finally have a minute to post some photos. Elliot keeps me busy with feeding every 2 hours and taking an hour each time. Doesn't leave a lot of free time! He had a feeding frenzy last night and fed continuously from 9:00 to 2:30 a.m. Wow! Apparently, this can happen at first. He is really healthy though and the feeding is not hurting, which I think means it is going well. .

Barry and Luke continue to have lots of daddy/son time together. They have been going to the Park and the stores together...a lot. Today we all went to the park together for a while...our first outing as a family. It went well, Elliot slept in a sling and Luke ate dirt and put leaves down drains. Typical boy!

Tomorrow is Elliot's first check-up with the doctor. He is fairly yellow so we shall be tested for jaundice I'm sure. I'll update tomorrow...the adventures of being a family of four!

Our tiny boy, Elliot arrived this morning at 7:07 a.m. He is 6 pounds and 1 ounce and just the sweetest thing ever. As we were hoping, I did not need a c-section. I started having contractions about 6:00 p.m. last night and finally went to the hospital about 11:00 p.m. Everything went great and Elliot and I are in a room with a view of Lake Michigan...lovely. He is not the quiet soul that Luke was and lets me know what he wants already. We love him immensely!

Photos to come...
