Evan's week in the NICU

Evan was taken to the NICU after he was born because he was premature.  He has done amazing!!!  The nurses say he is mature for his age because a baby born at 33 weeks isn't supposed to know how to take a bottle.  We are so proud of Evan.  He was doing well eating and then developed jaundice. He was put on a bili blanket for a few days to help decrease the bilirubin.  While he was on the blanket his eating slowed down a bit. Today Wes and I went to see Evan and he was taken off the blanket and his ng tube was taken out because he is eating so well.  This past week has been difficult going back and forth from the hospital but we feel so fortunate that Evan is only there to feed and grow. We know he will be able to come home soon!!!

We can't thank my parents enough for coming in town to help us with Alex.  We couldn't have done this without you.  Alex and Evan are so lucky to have the best Grammy and Pa
