A Whirlwind

Just as the title of this post implies, it has been a whirlwind for our family this last week. To much has happened for me to go into detail about all of it, so I'm going to overload you with pictures instead...

But first, here is a quick summary of our week: Cedric was born and brought home, we found out that Brian passed his PE Exam, Cedric is diagnosed with medium level jaundice and is put into the hospital for a couple days, Ben gets spoiled by all of his grandparents (what's new, right?), Cedric gets to come home for good but didn't respond real well to treatment in the hospital so is being monitored carefully, we are overcoming nursing challenges, Brian buys a new bow (along with some new brewing supplies) as a result of his passed PE Exam, and we're finally trying to adjust to life with two children.

And now for the pics:

Here's Ben chilling in the chair Grandpa and Grandma G. gave him. He feels like a big boy with the cup holder and all.

Ben gets to hold his baby brother for the first time... Quite exciting!

Just plain cute.

Ben gets his first bike from Grandma Parker - Big Boy!!!

Papa gets Ben a real sandbox to put on our patio! Ben also gets spoiled by Grandpa and Grandma Schultz who came to stay with us for a week.

When only a few days old it was determined that Cedric had a medium level of jaundice so he had to be hooked up to this "bili blanket" virtually all the time.

We called him our little Glowworm!

After a day with the "bili blanket" Cedric was reevaluated and we found out that he was dehydrated and the jaundice was not getting better so the doctor decided to put him in the hospital. We were in the hospital for two nights and two days.

He loved his hot box!

Nice shades Buster!

Because he was dehydrated we had to get as much fluids in him as possible, so here I am supplementing with more milk after nursing.

Papa's new bow. Talk about exciting!

Cedric comes home and gets his first bath! (He did NOT like it.)

Today Cedric and Papa take a nap on the couch. Life is finally starting to look a little normal!
