Easton is growing like a weed! Newborn clothes no longer fit! He has really started smiling and you have to love all of the involuntary reflex movements. He sometimes scares himself. I thought he might wear 0-3 months for a while, but he is so long now that he is close to start wearing some of the smaller 3-6 month clothes! Monday is going to be a busy day for us as he has 3 doctor appointments that day. He does very well sleeping at night. I know we will get him sleeping through the night and then it will be time for his next surgery:) Hopefully it won't take too long to get him back on track after that. We still don't have a set time when the next surgery will be. It will all depend on him and how he grows. I hope that it will be this fall if not later rather than sooner so he has more time to grow, but we will see! He has (knock on wood) been a very good baby this far. He doesn't cry much unless he is hungry and then he wanted it yesterday:) I will update again after our cartiologist appointments on Monday along with his pediatrician appointment where he will begin his shots. Can't wait for that:) God is good!

Easton had his second cardiologist appointment today. His doctor was very happy with how he looked and sounded. He weighs about 8 1/2 lbs and is now 22 inches long! Ty thinks he is going to be nine feet tall at the rate he is going:) The shunt is working great, and the PDA arteries have not closed yet, which may actually work to our advantage. It may allow him to grow a little more before the next surgery. Still not sure when that will be. Will just depend when he outgrows the shunt. Sure can't believe that he is already 6 weeks old already! The kids are sure glad to have him home. They both are very helpful (sometimes too much:)) They sure love their little brother! I go back to work in a few weeks so trying to findsome one to come baby sit a few days a week. He is such a good baby. Only gets up once to eat in the middle of the night so really can't complain! Since it has been so nice out we have been able to go outside for walks. I keep a bottle of hand sanitzer in the stroller! I don't think I ever thought I would be a germaphobe! God is good and continues to bless our family. With God all things are possible Matt 19:26

Whew! Made it through our first week at home! I think we now have some sort of a schedule down!!! We have 3 doctors appointments next week so that is going to be interesting trying to get to those on time! He is doing very good. His heart rate and oxygen levels have all been where they were at the hospital. He is now over 7lbs! Big Boy! He is getting long. He is still very skinny though! I am going to have to get the three month clothing out and washed up since he is about too long for the newborn clothes. Still wearing newborn diapers though. Hopeing that the remaining weeks go as smoothly as this one did! Ely is enjoying calling him "Mini Me" since he looks so much like he did when he was a baby! He thinks that is pretty cool! Ella just wants to mother him! But that is pretty much what I expected. His hais is hilarious! Not sure if it will ever lay down, but I guess time will tell! We are a very blessed family! God is good!
