Reese will be four weeks old tomorrow, and today has been home from the hospital for exactly two weeks.

Reese is 3 weeks old today (and still about 3 weeks before his due date).

Reese's First Days Out of the Hospital

Reese is 18 days old and has been home for 5 days now. He has grown an inch already and put on 4 ounces, making him close to 5 pounds.

Reese is finally home from the hospital at two weeks old!

Reese was released from the hospital yesterday, Thursday, May 1st. He is now 14 days old, back to his birthweight of 4 lbs. 12 oz., and eating well. He is at 36 1/2 weeks gestastion, so still about a month from his due date. He's doing great and adjustng to natural light, quiet, 24-hour attention and of course, his dog and cat siblings. His grandma is here, and his other grandma and grandpa will be visiting soon. We are obviously more thrilled than I can describe that he is finally home with us.

9 Days Old

Reese is still in the hospital, but we've been told it is now a matter of days, not weeks, until he comes home. He is at the equivalent of almost 36 weeks gestation now, meaning he's just getting down the skills he needs to eat. Today he finished his first meal without needing to finish it by a tube feeding, and for two days he's been putting on weight. He was down to 4 lbs. 3 oz. a few days ago but is now up to 4 lbs. 7oz. and getting closer to his birthweight. Of course we are spending most of our time with him at the hospital, so if we are slow returning calls and emails, please be patient with us for a little while longer.

Reese is doing better every day and will hopefully be home soon. He just needs to master the art of eating first.

Almost 8 months pregnant and doing some sightseeing...

2008-03-25T02:06:07Z

We spent five days in Sedona, AZ, which is beautiful and very dog-friendly. Of course, being enormously pregnant made it difficult to do some of the hiking, but it gave us an excuse to be lazy and spend a lot of time at the pool. For those who have been asking, we are registered at two places: Babies R Us and Amazon.com. Also, gift cards are certainly welcome as a way to save shipping charges.

Sneak Peek!

We had a 7-month ultrasound today. The baby was sleeping at first but finally woke up enough to let us get a look. He's very mellow and quiet and doesn't move around very much, but healthy and growing well. He's on the small side (but that's probably to be expected), and has a loud, strong heartbeat. He clearly resembles Brian. He didn't let us get a view of his face from the front, but we got plenty of clear side views. And he is definitely still a boy--no surprises!

Six months and change.
