We brough Elliot home on Satuday, September 13th. Wow. This is a lot of work. :) We are having fun getting to know one another, trying to establish some sort of routine (yeah right!), and trying to keep all the baby gear from spreading from one side of the house to the other....that's not an easy job! We are overjoyed! Elliot is doing great. We had his first doctor's appointment yesterday. He's back to his birth weight (champion nurser). His jaundice was being closely monitored at the hosptial which, apparently, is VERY COMMON. It's seems to already have reached a normal level. The pediatrician at the hospital detected a very small heart murmor on Saturday before we left. He had an echocardiogram done which verified that diagnosis. The good news is that the leak is very small and most often closes on its own within the first six months. Well....our pediatrician that we saw yesterday just barely heard anything abnormal. Daddy listened too. It seems as though it is already closing on its own. Apparently, this too, is "happens all the time". My big question...if all this is so "normal"...why is it so hardy for a new mom to deal with?!? Wow. I've shed a lot of tears in the past few days. This is a whole new level of WORRYING!!
Thanks for checking up on us! ...more pics are on the way... Alan, Katy, and Elliot
