K.C. and Will are getting along great. K.C. has to be wherever Will and I are.

1st Sunday

Today Will went to church for the first time. He slept through the entire mass, I think the music was soothing for him. After mass one parishioner said they were taking bets on how old he was. They guessed 1 week, he is 6 days, very close. It was a gorgeous day in MN, Derek raked leaves and I helped bag them. Will got out of doing yard work, he needed a nap. I took a bunch of black and white pictures of will today, so we need to get them developed. Hopefully college photography classes come in handy so we can get a good birth announcement picture to send out. We'll see!

Jaundice update

Will is good to go! Yesterday he went to his doctor's office for a visit and his jaundice level has started to go down. The highest it got was 13 and was back down to 12. Dr. Daniels said he looks great and just to keep and eye out on his coloring, but that we don't have to retest! Today, I had an OB nurse come for a home visit to check William and I out and go over any questions Derek and I had. We all received a clean bill of health and got a couple of pointers on breastfeeding. William even gained weight! He weighted 8.3 when he was born, 7.12 when we left the hospital, and he's back up to 8.0 as of today!

This is Williams first football game viewing. I think he might be a little tired and didn't enjoy the game as much as his daddy. All the eating and pooping wears a kid out.

Last night Derek and I took Will on his first walk around the block. We bundled him up in his cute little bear outfit so he was nice and warm. Will got to meet our neighbor Brad and his new dog Willy. K.C. enjoyed the fresh air too!

We were able to leave the hospital yesterday at about 4:00. William's jaundice is a little higher then the doctors would prefer and we took him back to the hospital today and will again tomorrow to have him retested. But other than that everything has gone wonderfully.
