We are doing well. We had a bit of a rough start but things are starting to settle down. Nev lost a lot of weight in the first couple of days while he and I were trying to figure out the whole breast feeding thing but we are now on the right track and his weight is coming back up. He also had jaundice levels that were a concern for the Dr. So last Thurs. he and I spent the night in the hospital so he could be kept under a special light. We had a light to take home and keep on him for the weekend and when we returned to the Dr. on Mon. he was much better and we got to stop treatment :) It is sunny here today so Nev and I took a walk and got some sun on him too which is helpful in reducing jaundice.
My mom was here for the first week and was a great help. It was great having her around and watching her bond with her grandson. She was also great emotional support for me! We were sad to see her leave but we know we'll see her soon. We've also had some vistors stop by to see the little guy. We appreciate all the food people have been bringing us. It's amazing how quickly the
days get away from us and how tiring it all can be. But we are getting into the routine of it all and it is getting easier. 
Here are some more pics from the past week. I gave him his first bath at home which I have to
say he didn't like at all. Micah took him into the shower with him and he seemed to enjoy that quite a bit and it's a lot easier on us.On Sunday we went to friends to watch the Steelers game. Nev got towear his steelers shirt that his grandma got him. He looked very cute... too bad the steelers lost:(
