Saturday, November 20, 2010

This past week has been wonderful and crazy at the same time. Eric has taken the week off to help me out, which I will be eternally grateful for. Oakley has had bilirubin, with levels high enough to require him going to the hospital several times this week to have his blood drawn, and be put on a bili blanket. Thankfully they're dropping now, so things aren't quite as hectic now.
This morning we woke up to our first snow of the season. Thanksgiving hasn't even come yet, but it's nearly impossible to keep Christmas off my mind when there's snow outside. And it gives us even more reason to just kick back and lay around the house. This morning we had waffles, this afternoon we'll make cookies, and this evening we'll be drinking mulled apple juice. I've really enjoyed this week to just be together as a family and get to know Oakley. He's a really cuddly baby and I've been enjoying every minute.

It's a boy!


Oakley Cornelius Ritter was born last Saturday, November 13th. He weighed 8 lbs. and measured just over 20 inches long. We are so happy to have him with us!

I just love the Sycamore tree in Pete and Ami's yard. Especially right now!
