Family of Five

Things are going well here at the house adjusting to our new family of five. Me and Stan have gotten the hang of things and have even managed to leave the house here and there and seem somewhat normal. On Tuesday night Stan took the kids to swimming while I stayed home with Chase to get some good bonding in and unpack us from the hospital. On Weds I stayed home all day with Chase while Stan took the big kids to the library and the grocery store. Then my family came over to celebrate my nephew's 2nd bday and meet Chase. Afterwards they all ventured to Chuck E Cheese while again, I stayed home with the baby. I have enjoyed all this alone time with him though, it just seems so much easier the third time around! On Thursday we spent most of the day at home together. In the morning he had his first well baby visit. He weighs 7lbs 15oz now and had a jaundice level of 15 (not good, we have to have another test done in the morning to see if its getting worse or better). Later, we had a visit from our pastor and she brought a prayer blanket for the little guy. Chase also had his first bath and was held by his brother and sister all day! Then we ventured out to my mom's house for dinner and then up to swimming for our last lesson. Everything went really well, and we survived another day! Today we took the kids to the park and have begun cleaning for Stan's parents' arrival tomorrow morning! It has been a busy and exciting week, here are tons more pics!!

Precious, precious, precious! Today, I'm thinking he looks like K. Davis had bad jaundice for a while. I look back at some pictures and admire his lovely golden complexion.
