Casey's first week.























Well, Casey is a week old and so far we are no worse for the wear. A little sleep deprived, yes, but afternoon and evening naps are wonderful. Casey had several outings to the doctor and to the lab for blood tests for bilirubin levels because the doctor said he looked a little jaundiced. Everything is fine now and he is coming close to his original birth weight (the goal generally is to be back to that weight by the 2-week visit and he is 7 lbs. 11 oz as of Thursday). It has been great having Mimi here to help out with Casey (she takes him during parts of the night so we can sleep an hour or so some nights) and she has also cooked, cleaned, and offered useful advice.
His sleep patterns are still kind of backwards, although last night he slept almost solidly between feedings. We have this nice crib and bassinet and he tends to do most of his most peaceful sleeping in his car seat (Thanks for the idea Bryan!)

Anyway, you all just want to see the pictures, so here they are.

Don't count on me doing a post every week, but I'll try to as often as I can.
