Nearly a week!

It's been nearly a week since Evan was born and it's certainly been a busy one! Looking after three children including a newborn is a challenge to say the least and that's with both my Mum and Husband thrown into the mix. This week we've been out and about including a trip to both the doctor and the breastfeeding clinic.

Evan did an excellent job on his trip to the doctors only dropping in weight from 6lbs 12oz to 6lbs 8oz. He is a little jaundice but nothing to worry about. In every other way he looks perfect!

At the breastfeeding clinic we learned to supplement his feedings with previously pumped breast milk through a supplementary nursing system. I am finding feeding him quite difficult since it's hard to keep him awake. We are having to wake him regularly to feed him, something he is not a big fan off.

Today we took a trip to JC Penny and had photos with his big brother and big sister. It was hard work, there was much crying, but eventually we got some amazing shots of the little man.

It's been a hard but amazing week. Looking at him it's hard to believe we have been through such difficult times to get to this point. He is so perfect and I feel so blessed each and every time I look at his gorgeous face. Everyone who hears the story of how he came to be part of our family is in awe of the generous heart of Jenn. She will always be a special part of our family for giving us such a wonderful gift.

Either Jenn or I will update for the birth story when we have a moment.
