The First Weeks





We have made it to Weslee's due date (February 15) and the little guy is such a joy to have around. He does the typical baby stuff... eat, sleep, make diapers- but those quiet moments where he is alert and focused on your face are just priceless.

We've been working with his feeding skills since we brought him home, and we continue to see lactation specialists every week to monitor his weight gain and see how much he is eating during meals. Weslee weighed more than his birth weight at two weeks, after having lost about 15% of his body weight in the first few days of life. He continues to thrive and is a voracious eater.

We are so blessed to have such supportive family and friends that have been helping us adjust to this new phase of life. It is certainly different and challenging, but also very rewarding.
