Wow...what a week!

Well, it seems impossible that it has only been a week since Bachan left us to the land of predictable weather! And, oh what a week it has been.

This week, we began the caregiver shuffle. And, we got to get everyone involved, since my angel at work is out of town visiting her grandbaby for two weeks. Yikes. :)

Everyone seemed to have a great day with Everett. We learned some things along the way, and a few more things got added to the diaper bag as the week went on. :)

Also, we packed away our newborn clothes...well, some of them anyway. Not really because they are too small, but because it is starting to cool down a bit here, so a onesie and socks just isn't cutting it anymore, and all of the footies are 0-3 month size. Right. So, Everett is 2 months old and can still fit in his newborn clothes. Our little man is still a little man. :)

So, caregivers, be looking out for some new fashions coming your way...oh yeah, and even though I swore I wouldn't, I couldn't resist and I went shopping this weekend for the little man. The temperature drops, and I can't resist. But, I am done for the season. And so there are even more super cute outfits coming your way! :)

Anyhow, besides the shuffle, we have had a fairly uneventful week. We are trying out many new ways of getting Everett's ostomy bag to stay on, and so far we are averaging about 3 days! Yay!! :) We haven't seen results like this since we were in the NICU. So, of course, now we are changing systems. :) But, we have to wait for our samples to come in first.

Oh yeah, don't lose faith in us yet. The posts are not going to be daily, but I will try to post on Mondays and Thursdays. Next Thursday, I probably won't because I will be working, but from there on out. So, look for posts then. We're uneventful these days, so twice a week should do it. :)

So, on the agenda for this week: Wednesday, we go see the pulmonologist. Hopefully he will have some sort of good news, or at least something that will help us with Everett's breathing. Friday, Dylan will be taking Everett to get his VCUG done. We are hoping that everything comes out clean in that regard.

And, now for the fun part, the pictures from this week:

On Tuesday, Everett went to Candy's house...can't you tell?

Lynn snaking in on Candy's day. :)

Cindy came over to visit, too.


Logan's the only one that lives in the house that we have a picture of holding the baby. :)

Rumor has it that Everett had lots of fun with his Mimi. Everett and Grandpa Mike listened to classical music together and Everett loved it. Then Everett, Mimi, and Grandad Lynn went outside and hung out on the porch. A good time was had by all.

On Wednesday, Everett went to see Lori and learn about the world of real estate. :) Sophie and Murray were a little skeptical at first, but eventually adopted Everett as part of their pack.

On Thursday, we met Grandpa Steve and Grandma Frances at my studio so that they could watch him for the day. Our friend Sam (who is expecting twins in June) finally got to meet him, and get a little practice feeding a baby. :)

Then they went to Aunt Mary's house and spent the day. Chris and Edith came over and finally got a chance to meet the little man.

See how natural Edith looks holding him? :) They're getting married this coming Spring, so they're next on Grandma Frances's radar for providing grandbabies. :)

Aunt Mary got in on the fun. Looks like a bit of burping action going on. :)

And Whitney got home just in time from rehearsal to cuddle up to the little guy. :)

On Friday, Dylan stayed home and watched the little man. Everyone was still in once piece when I came home, so I guess everything went well. :)

Saturday, Everett went to see Grandad Lynn and Grandma Sheri. They played, and walked, and watched Texas whoop some butt. :) Everett is going to be a Longhorn fan yet if Grandma Sheri has anything to say about it. :)

Whew. It was a long, exhausting week for the little man, but I think he had a great time all around.
