Fourteen weeks 1 day old

Evan's due date was on the 8th so he the confusion about his age has started. Until he is about 2 years old, he will have an actual and corrected age. His actual age is 14 weeks while his corrected age is 1 day. Just in the limited amount of time that we've been out in the public, people are confused when I say, "Yeah! He's 14 weeks old." You can see the wheels in their heads as they try to figure it out since the baby before them does not look like a typical 14 week old baby.

Evan has had a flurry of appointments. (Hence my lack of updates - I foolishly thought I would have a little more time once he was home. Ha! Now my time is spent snuggling Evan. I actually almost argued with Andrew today when he got home from work and wanted to cuddle with his son. Whoops. Guess I gotta tone down my possessiveness...)

Today we saw surgery and cardiology. Surgery was just to check up on the hernia site. It feels like Evan had hernia surgery forever ago. Thankfully he is healing nicely.

The cardiologist was also positive. While Evan does have a slight murmur, it's only a 1 on a scale of 0-6 (6 being bad). Evan should grow out of the PFO and the pulmonary valve stenosis (which may actually be the murmur it's so faint it's hard to tell).

Evan was a champ in his car seat today. Every time he is in it he seems to like it more. I have to say that I am also more comfortable with him in it too. He's a little bigger now so I can actually see his face in the rearview mirror!

Evan's breathing remains quiet! We do have another balloon procedure scheduled for next Tuesday. Again, we're hoping that Evan will just have the procedures a few times and it will correct the problem.

Last night was a good night for Mr. Pants. He has had his days and nights mixed up since he came home from the hospital. It's actually kind of nice being awake with him at 3 in the morning. (Now that he's here, the house is a balmy 71 degrees all the time! Wee!) Andrew and I take turns and sleep in shifts since Evan likes to party all night long. Last night he did sleep for a good stretch though. It is nice to know that he's acting like a typical full term baby though! Hopefully we'll get his times sorted out soon so Andrew and I don't have to turn into vampires!

Finally - Evan Picture Overload:

"So is this what the third trimester feels like!?"

He was not very helpful since he slept the whole time.

"I hate you! I hate you all! Get me outta here!"
MacDonald tradition - put the baby in the basket. Evan's uncle Owen was just as thrilled.

"Zzzz"
Proud Daddy!

"Stretch it out!"
Morning yoga.

"Pffffftttt"

"Don't bring me problems, bring me solutions."
