Everett & Emma
Everett's second week
One month old
Well, I'm sure most of you know by now that Everett is here. It only took me a month to finally blog about him! We've had a fun and exciting first month. He was born with a nice, quick labor at 3:12 AM on May 25. He started out at 6 lbs 11 oz, and then went down to 6 lbs 1 oz due to some feeding issues (stressful to say the least!). Now he is eating like a champ and at his one month checkup today he weighed 8 lbs 12 oz! He's also grown three inches in length since he was born (now 22 in). We're all adjusting to life as a family of four very well, with some greatly appreciated help from my mom. Emma enjoys being a big sister. She has her moments, but overall she is very sweet and gentle with Everett and loves to tickle and kiss him. We are now trying to potty train her and that is going pretty well so far. We head off to the beach for vacation next Thursday and I can't wait. This will be the first time I've gotten to go on the full family vacation in probably 10 years or more. Cody is going to come for the weekends and I'm staying with the kids through the week. I probably won't post again for a while, so I hope everyone has a wonderful summer and I'll post some new pictures when I can!
