The First Few Days...
have been so much fun! Andrew and I have really enjoyed getting to know our little guy. Basically all he does is sleep. We went to the pediatrician last Monday and she said he looks great! I'm always nervous because of his bleeds but so far, so good. We also had an eye doctor appointment to check out his ROP status. That is an eye condition that preemies can have due to low birth weight and being on a ventilator. The appointment was traumatic for the both of us. I had to hold Carson down and the doctor clamped his eyelids open and poked around his eye. Not fun! We're still a stage 1 in both eyes and usually stage 1,2,and 3 can correct themselves. So now we are gearing up for another week of doctors visits. Eye doctor Tuesday, NICU clinic Wednesday morning, Neurosurgeon Wednesday afternoon. Busy, busy, busy....

Dash is right now watching Baby Bach on dvd. We got a set of the Baby Einstein dvd's from eBay for way cheap. He's watched them since he was only a few months old. They're very calming.
Sounds like you and Andrew are doing well. Love every minute!
Love,
Rachel, James and Dash
I am so happy to see your pictures. Please continue to send them. I was happy to see how "Bo" is posed and very sucure next to your baby. The best to your new family - please stay in touch, and our prayers will continue. Don't forget, that little baby Carson has a little angel over his shoulder at all times,in Cooper, and you will feel that also, as you hold him and look into Carsons eyes. It will comfort you and give you strength to get what ever obsticales you will come across.
Love, Aunt Nancy
