Hello!
Thanks for visiting our site. My life-partner (of 8 years) Deona and I are ecstatic about becoming parents in May 2008. We feel especially blessed that we only had to try 3 times to become pregnant (via IUI). We are ever so grateful to have the love and support of both families and a multitude of friends.

A day of "Firsts"
The day started off with Everett needing a diaper. Well, lets just say it was best he have a bath shortly thereafter. He's continued having sponge baths since his belly button stump fell off. Today would be a different day, no more sponge baths. Instead, he got to have real big-boy bath, in a giant inflatable yellow duckie he got from his aunt Dondi AND it has a beak that quacks! Later in the evening, we headed out for our very first swim in our pool. The temperature (air & pool) was perfect. Mama walked Everett into the pool wearing his swimmy diaper and bathing suit Speedo. :) I think we're going to have a swimmer...Little E loved it!

Everett is 6 weeks old today! Our baby boy is growing up so fast!
DEVELOPMENT
Everett is now able to support his own body weight on his little legs (thats with us holding him for balance, of course) and he's using his arms to push up during tummy time. His movements are becoming smoother and less jerky.
This week, Ev has also started copy "coo"ing. :) SO CUTE!
No more newborn outfits, our baby boy is too big now. He's also outgrown his pack-n-play cradle topper.
FEEDING
Currently little E is eating approximately 5-6 oz, every 3-4 hours.
SLEEP
Everett continues to enjoy and sleep in his crib; however bedtime has been pushed to 9:30 or 10:00 p.m. He is completely content lying awake, listening to music for an hour before bedtime. Because hes eating more, he is sleeping longer through the night. Last night, we only had to get up once at 3 a.m. Yeah!!!!
ACTIVITIES
Everett's continues to enjoy being held; in fact, hes getting a little spoiled. :) His favorite activity is being rocked in the glider.
He's not very fond of the toys that hang off his car seat, however he does enjoy his puppy dog activity mat Grammie and Grampy got him for Christmas. Its been fun watching him on his mat; he gets so excited his little arms and legs get to kicking so fast. He makes us smile.

Bye Bye Umbilical Cord Stump!
Everett lost his umbilical cord stump this morning. It must have fallen off with all the leg kicking he does, because we found it loose inside his onesie when we changed his diaper.

Everett is 4 weeks old today!
We're amazed how fast Everett is growing.
In four short weeks, our baby boy has changed so much.
DEVELOPMENT
Everett now has more control of his head and raises it when lying on his stomach.
His eyes are focusing and he recognizes our faces and voices.
Mommy enjoys tapping his nose lightly, as he's now responding with big smiles.
FEEDING
Currently little E is eating approximately 4 oz, every 2-3 hours.
SLEEP
Everett has been sleeping in his crib since week two. Bedtime is around 9:00 p.m., whether he's sleepy or not. He's pretty happy in his crib and falls asleep on his own, provided he has a full belly. :)
He wakes up, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, between 6 or 6:30 a.m.
Both Deona and I take turns getting up to feed, burp and change him, every three hours or so.
ACTIVITIES
He is discovering bright colors and enjoys playing with his toy rattles.
Everett enjoys being sung to, listening to his lullaby CD's, sitting in his swing and Papasan. His favorite activity is cuddle time with mama or mommy.
PHYSICAL GROWTH/APPEARANCE
Our next doctors appointment is July 21st, so we dont know how much he has actually grown. We've considered taking him to the post office to weigh him on the postage scale :). We're fairly certain he has surpassed the 10 pound mark, and we're sure he's at least 22" in length.
He is officially out of newborn diapers, however, he still hasn't lost his umbilical cord stump.
Everett's eyes are still blue and his hair is changing to a lighter shade of red.
Grammie discovered a dimple on the right side of his smile.

Everett is two weeks old today.
His first doctor's appointment was going back to the the hospital for his 2 week heal prick. :( So sad. He cried for 5 seconds or so, but his bottle pacified the situation. Mama and Mommy had a harder time watching.
After a healthy :) lunch at Taco Bell, we set off to his 2 week appt at the pediatrician's.
Since last Tuesday (5/20), Little E has gained 13 ounces!!!
Sweetest baby boy, ever.

He's here!!! We'll be posting all the details as soon as we settle in. Everett is perfect and we love him more than anything!

IT'S TIME!
We went to the doctor today. Deona's blood pressure had gone up (after a weekend of resting lots), so Doc decided to induce tomorrow! Soooooooooo...we will be heading to the hospital tomorrow morning (Tues. 5/13) sometime between 5-8 am to start the process. This means that Everett will hopefully have arrived by late afternoon or early evening. This is probably the last you will hear from us on the website for several days, but we will try to pass information this week. If all goes well, we should be bringing him home on Thursday. :) Thanks to all of you for your prayers and support.

The Dr. appt. on Thursday went really well. Deona's blood pressure was still a little high, but not as bad as last time, but there are still proteins in the urine which is still an early sign of preeclampsia. Our doctor decided to do a sonogram to check all the baby's vitals and fluid surrounding him, etc. Everything looks fantastic (and he's currently estimated to be 7 lbs 11 oz!), so at this point she says we can wait a bit more before inducing. Deona's last day at work was Thursday, so she is now taking it easy and resting lots until he arrives. Our next appointment is Monday morning...unless he chooses to go ahead and come this weekend. :) It's all kindof day by day at this point. We'll update with new news as often as we can.

Lots to update, so i will be brief.
At our 38 week visit (Monday, 5/5), Deona's blood pressure read a little on the high side (134/91) and urine test came back positive for protein. Not a good sign, as these are definate signs of preeclampsia.
Doc also drew blood which which would determine whether or not Deona would need to be admitted to the hospital on Tuesday. Tests came back good, so no early hospitalization.
Deona's next doctor's appointment is Thursday @ 3:30.
If all progresses as planned, Everett will be induced this weekend (39 weeks), unless doc says Thursday's the day.
Check back Thursday for the latest updates!
