Big Smiles :)

Well, Wyatt is smiling a lot more now as you can tell from the photos. For a while now he has been smiling and holding his head up, but now it is a lot more frequent. He is getting better at doing both.....enough so that I was able to capture a picture of it. :)

We went to the clinic on Friday, and Wyatt now weighs 9lbs 13ozs!! He is getting bigger and bigger!

Well, I know its been over a week since I last posted an update. Wyatt and I have been pretty busy. Last weekend we made our first trip together, just the two of us. We went down to Indy to visit and get some things taken care of. Wyatt and I did pretty well, however...... by Sunday night we were both pretty exhausted!

Here are some new pictures of Wyatt. He definitely loves taking a bath. He has started to hold his head up for about a minute. And he has started to smile at me...... which just makes my heart melt!!!! He is changing right before my eyes every single day. I've got to take as much video as I can!

1 month old already!!!

Well Wyatt is now one month old!! I cannot believe how much he has changed already. Everyday he seems to be getting bigger. Yesterday I packed up the premie clothes that he was wearing, and we have now moved up to the newborn sizes! We have our good days, and our bad days (and nights), but for the most part he is an absolute joy. I am excited to see what new developments the next month will bring us. In the mean time I will try to keep everyone posted.

On a happy joyful note..... Nigel is going to get to meet his son in May when he comes home for a visit!!!!!! :) All three of us are just sooooo excited! :)

Growing boy

Well, I made Wyatt this t-shirt for him to wear at the hospital (which he did). Now at three weeks of age you can see that his long sleeve tshirt is now almost up to his elbows!!!! :) I told my mom when I put it on him the other day that it was probably the last time that he would wear it. Now, It will go into a keepsake box. :)

Wyatt and I are doing great. (Besides his new fussy periods) He is definitely starting to make his needs more known by screaming. (Very Loudly) My Dad always says "that boy has a good set of lungs!"

He is still sleeping a lot, but when he is awake he is wide-eyed and enjoys looking around at everything. I have a feeling that as he gets older that he will be very curious! I'll try to get more pictures this weekend, as it will be Wyatt at 1 month old!!! I cannot believe he will be a month old on Sunday. Time is already flying by!

Daddys boy

Heres Wyatt wearing his "I love Daddy" shirt! :)

No more bili-blanket!!

I took Wyatt on Thursday to have his bilirubin levels drawn. On Friday I found out that the results were now NORMAL!! I am so relieved that we do not have to use the biliblanket any longer!! I think both of us were getting frustrated with it. I must say that it is so nice to be able to get up out of the chair and walk around the house with Wyatt and not be attached to a 2 foot cord!!!! So this is very good news to us!
We are both doing very well, and are slowly making adjustments. He's adjusting to life outside the womb, and I am adjusting to life with an infant! :) I was talking to Nigel the other day and told him that I believe I underestimated how much work it is to have a newborn. Although he does keep me busy I'm loving every day that I have with him.
Nigel is doing very well, and seems to be in great spirits. He really loved the video that I posted of Wyatt the other day. He only gets to check his email about once a week, so don't get discouraged if you have not had much of a reply from him. Hes keeping busy and says that hes just getting his job done, so that he can come back home to his family.
