Happy Easter from Baby David!!!!

Happy Easter to everyone! David enjoyed his first Easter with Papi and Gma Leslie and Gigi came over and brought some delictable dishes with her for Easter lunch. We all enjoyed lunch and the company we spent together. David recieved some great gifts too! He got an easter basket from Tia Linda and Gigi brought a basket with assorted Easter goodies and books, and Gma Margie and Vivian came bearing gifts as well. So David had a great Easter and obviously looking forward to many more. Well Daddy has to go back to work after having a great Spring Break with his family. Its going to be hard going back, and I know how lonely Mommy is going to be without me.....But she'll be okay. Michelle is feeling great these days and everything seems to be back to normal. The body always has a period of transition when you've been carrying a baby, and so she's back to normal and feeling great. Well here are some pictures from our Easter and we hope to see ya'll soon! We love ya'll!

Grandma Les and Papi in the House!!!!!

Man...Big day after big day for baby David...
All the grandparents from Kansas were all in the same house today....Dana and Jason stopped by too. What a great day! We went and got what was called a PKU test today done on David and boy was he NOT happy. They stuck his heel and pressed and pressed...Goodness. He cried so loud that he made mommy upset and she had to leave the room. Daddy stayed with him and held his hand and rubbed his head and made sure that everything was going to be okay. Another test out of the way...There are only a few left, thank goodness. If there is anything you would like to see on here, just let us know. Love ya'll! See ya soon!

15 days and rolling over! Check this out!!!!

You have to watch this! This boy was born 15 days ago, and over he goes!!!! We're so proud of him!!! He might be crawling next week!

Guests dropped by today!

Michelle had her two week check up today, and the doctor said that everything is perfect! Her incision is healing very well, and the infections that Michelle had last week are close to disappearing! We took David to the doctors office and boy did they swoon over him! One lady even said that David was so cute, she wanted to "get knocked up" just so she could have one just as cute as him! OMG!!!!!

On a lighter note, we had family drop by today who were travelling through on their way home to Houston. You'll see another little man in these pictures and his name is Ethan Ray. He is so adorable, and I hope and pray that David turns out to be just like his cousin!!!! Thanks for stopping by ya"ll!!!!

Here's some pictures from today...Enjoy!!!!

Doctor Day #2!!!!

Today we went for David's two week check up, and here's the update:

Dr. Hodge saw David today and she immediately commented on his growth. Even though we are three weeks early, David is right on track with his growth! He's a little small weight wise, but size wise, he's in the 50th percentile. What does that all mean you ask...It means he's as normal as every kid out there! He's right on track! And is this boy healthy! Everything on him looks strong, and healthy and he's doing very well! Here are a couple of stats that we got today you might like to know:

Length - 19 3/4 - Growth from birthday - 1 inch

weight - 6 lbs 15 oz. - Growth from birthday - 7 ozs.

What a good boy! He is now eating 3 1/2 ozs at a setting and what great news that Michelle's milk has definately come in and she is now producing 2 to 2.5 ozs at this juncture....Which has increased rapidly to accomodate our little stinkweed.....Michelle had to "pump and dump" because of an antibiotic that she was taking. The doctor today gave Michelle the clear to return to feeding David breastmilk, and man did he enjoy it! He destroyed the bottle of breastmilk and continued by taking another once and a half of formula! He's his father son! He enjoys a good meal! David turns two weeks old tomorrow and Mommy and Daddy can't believe its already been that long that he's been around. He's doing so well and everyone is so proud of him. FYI...is it weird to celebrate your son's 1 month birthday? Daddy wants to, but how do you throw a "birth-month-day" party for a child who can't really see yet and who's food intake consists of milk? Any ideas out there?

On a sidenote, Sarah and Brad....you're kids are amazing. Jacob is so intelligent and sporty, and Emma and Isabel are just the cutest two little girls on the planet, and they are growing up so fast. You are very blessed, and we love being a part of it. We read your blog indepth tonight and giggled till we cried when Isabel was grooving to some William Tell. Also, thanks for refering us to Dr. Hodge. She's very good, we really like her.

Enjoy!!!!!

Having a little father-son time....

I"m the next American Idol....;)

Bedazzled by mommy's beauty or is it vice-versa?????

Happy St. Patty's Day Everyone!!!!

Baby David's Going Home!!!!

This day meant a lot to us. Even though David was born 3 weeks early, we were able to leave the hospital last Saturday and we couldn't have been more proud of him! He's so strong, and we are so lucky to have such a wonderful little boy. He's going to be amazing! Hit the play button and...Enjoy!

Back Home!!!

Thank goodness. Its Sunday, a day ahead of schedule, and we are back home. I want to thank Margie and Mary for staying with us and helping us with David, and just making our lives as easy as possible. So now we're just relaxing and taking it easy and doing what the doctor says. We're so excited to be back home. Michelle especially, because she won't have doctors poking and proding her for a while. Granted, they helped and made Michelle better and for that we're grateful, but after a while, you just are so ready to leave. Man, we saw every doctor in that place. Michelle had a good birthday this year. Everyone who brought a gift for Michelle or called her while she was in the hospital, we thank you so very very much. You're the ones that keep her going when she was stuck in the hospital bed. Its awesome to have people like you!
We love ya'll! We'll see ya soon! DEM

Hi Everyone! Well.......I hate to say...But my loving wife is back in the hospital with some trouble. She has had some ear infections that are due to her over-usage of her hearing aides. She must take them out every day in order for them to dry out. With our new son, it was hard for her to do so, because she had to be on high alert when daddy's not around. And her poor ears never got a chance to dry out. And with that, so goes the infection. Also, she has a few other things going on....but with the help of antibiotics and a few of special ingredients....She be back on her feet in no time. The doctor said our estimated time of departure from the horse-pistol as my mother so likes to often say, is Monday I think at the earliest, which is fine by me because I"m officially on spring break and loving every minute of it! Michelle is getting better and all of your thoughts and prayers are being answered. We love ya'll! We'll see you soon!

David Edward is Here!

Here is a few pictures to start off with, but I"m sure that there will be more passed around as we go. We love him so much and can't wait for everyone to meet him! Thanks also to everyone who came to see us at the hospital. Trinity Medical Center was our home for four days and it was an amazing place! The nurses took great care of us....Notice I said us....Because they cared to me as much as they did Michelle. Enjoy and we love ya'll!
