Home Sweet Home!

We got to bring Evan home from the hospital on Tuesday! YAY!!!!!! We still have to monitor his diet closely (as we will for the rest of his life) and we have to make sure he doesn't start acting lethargic and refusing to eat, but we are home! We will be attending weekly metabolic clinics and weight checks to determine if his diet is sufficient or if we need to make adjustments. Obviously with little ones growing so quickly, we need to make sure he is always getting the right amount of nutrients and just enough protein...not too much and not too little. It will take a lot of monitoring, but right now I am just happy to have my baby home!

The last couple of days have been an adjustment, but they have gone well. JR and I are sharing the night time feedings which aren't too bad since Evan is eating every 3 hours.  He is a fairly quiet baby, so we often have to set an alarm to get up to feed him at night, but as soon as he is up he is ready to eat!  The squadron has been awesome and are providing us with meals for dinner so we can get adjusted before having to take on all the houshold responsibilities again.  We are so blessed to be a part of such a supportive squadron! I have met a lot of other people who don't have the same support.

Evan is still eating like a champ and seems to be getting bigger! He is such a love bug and loves to be held, but he doesn't mind being put down either! Aside from his dietary needs, so far he is an easy baby. We are truly blessed.

Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, and support while we were in the hospital. We will still need them to make sure he continues to do well, but so far so good!
