The first doctor's appt...

Yes, we take the camera everywhere and we have lots of pictures. So, here are some pics of Jesse's first doctor's appt. They weighed him, measured his length and his head. Dr. Thint checked him out and found out that he may have a hernia or a hydrocele. We have a consult

with a surgeon on the 19th. Today, he had his 2 week appt. and Dr. Thint said it looked a lot better, but to keep our consult, just to be safe. And, just for entertainment, there's a picture of Jesse holding his own bottle. It was short-lived, but has occured more than once.

HE'S HERE!!!!

So, you can expect every blog from here on out to be about our angel. Jesse Douglas Chambers arrived on August 2, 2008. He came into the world weighing 7lbs 11.5 oz and measuring 20.5 inches long...okay, the hospital measured him at 21.5, the doctor measured him at 20.5. We're going to go with the doctor's measurements since that's what will be using from here on out. He had his 2 week appt. today and he had gained 4 ounces and grown half an inch. He stays awake for longer stretches and finally enjoys his swing and playmat...giving mommy time to....do whatever.

As most of you know, we had a slight scare when he was born. He swallowed a lot of fluid and his meconium, so he was taken straight

to Texas Children's and put on oxygen and had a tube to drain fluids and an IV for antibiotics and feeding. He quickly improved and was off everything in about 2 days. He is now a healthy baby boy. We adore everything about him!!

The two pictures above are the first time we each got to hold him....an undescribable moment. Then, the sweetest picture is where he's laying on his quilt sleeping. Of course, the one in the
hospital with all the wires. And, then, he finally gets to go home. Stay tuned for more pictures, there will be tons......

Surprise!!

Well, so much for the big, fat pregnant pictures. The baby arrived on Saturday, August 2nd at 8:23pm. I will update on that more later. I wanted to put in some pictures from the shower that Amy threw me. It was wonderful!! I am blessed to have such generous friends.
