Happy 4 weeks Birthday, Baby Phee!

Dear Sloan,

You were born 4 weeks ago today at 10:39 a.m. You weighed 7lbs, 6.5 ounces and "The Late Great Johnny Ace" by Paul Simon was playing in the delivery room.

The past 4 weeks have been filled with more ups and downs than the past year combined. Your mother is physically tired but still so in love with you to care. Me, well I am tired too but everything is better when you sleep against me, in my arms or on my chest, when you calm your little crying when I hold my head against yours...all of that is wonderful.

You have changed in these past 4 weeks. I see you a little different each day. I look forward to you becoming aware of your surroundings and who me and your mother are. We love you so much and you make us a family.

Love,
Papa

Thanks for the food dudes

Amy and I were just thinking how great it was that people brought us food and or went shopping for us the first couple of weeks of having Sloan, so we'd like to say a special thank you in no particular order to the following people for the following foods:

Both of our sets of parents - for running for us at the hospital and making sure we were fed and taken care of.

Chris and Leslie - The homemade veggie Lasagna kicked bottom.

Lauren and Brad - Veggie Baked Ziti, Hash Brown Casserole, Cinnamon Rolls and the Bread! They were all yummy.

Pat and Sadie and Davis - Cashews, Orange Soda, Peanut butter filled pretzels and Salt Water Taffy....yum.

Aunt Barbara - Your Rotel Spaghetti is always awesome and yummy and of course the cake.

Marjorie and Jacky - Baked Spaghetti and Garlic Bread

Ms. Jean Aiken (our next door neighbor) for the spice cake.

Colleen and Gi Gi - Thanks for shopping for us for a whole weeks worth of food.

My mom and dad especially for bringing he meatloaf and chicken and the best MARINARA SAUCE EEVR.

And Amy's mom for the egg dish Amy loves.

Yeah, so lots of awesome carbs...mind you this was spread out over three weeks so...yeah, I'm fat.

Thanks all. We love you. Anytime.

Baby loves bath time!

This was the week that was.

Monday Morning, May 26 11:05 AM. Sloan is in he sleeper, semi-sleeping. Mommy is in the tub. Daddy has somewhat emerged from a gut wrenching 2 day stomach flu and is trying to update the baby blog. There is a lot to update.

Sloan is doing fine. Amy has had quite a time figuring the ins and outs of feeding. I've learned a lot about the stages of diaper contents of newborns and keeping a hormonal mommy from completely breaking down. It's hard. This ain't no vacation, nor is it a honeymoon. This is hard work, but you know why it's worth it?

Because that, or this...
