Friday June 10th- the Original Due date...

Today is June 10th. This was Karsten's original due date. Wow, we couldn't have imagined that it would feel like he has been with us for weeks on the day he was scheduled to be born. For only being 6 days old, we certainly have a lot of history and memories already built. Today's memory was a very quiet day at home, with just one trip to the pediatrician. They say, "no news is good news", and that would be his story today. We did not do much except hold him, change diapers and he ate like a little crazy guy. He is now at 7 lbs (probably because of all the eating and he is filling out his little legs). Monday will be the appointment with the hematologist and until then continued quiet (as much as we can with a 4 1/2 year old who is trying so hard to be quiet for his brother, in the midst of his jealousy for attention). Daddy spent as much time playing with Kaleb and drawing star wars pictures today as he could to keep Kaleb's life normal and we look forward to the weekend as a family. Thanks again for all of your support. We continue to be grateful! I will try to post more pictures tomorrow after they are imported from the phone.

  2. Aww, poor Kaleb. I know we involved Lily as much as possible with doing things for Eva when she came home (i.e. getting diapers/wipes, putting a blanket on her when she slept, finding her pacifier, etc.) and that helped a lot. Here's hoping he adjusts soon and well. <3
