3 Week Update!

Evy and Mommy went for her 3 week check up and she's passesd her birthweight & now weighs 7lbs 12.5 oz! Mommy & Daddy are so proud. The doctor says she's doing really well and looks great! She's sleeping about 8-10 hours a night with maybe one wakeup diaper change/feeding! We can only hope those nights continue. We have taken a ton of pictures and will have some posted soon. Our photographer with Bellies & Babies is coming back next week for her 1 month pictures. We may be going crazy with the professional pics, but to not have these monumental times is almost a sin!
As for Mommy & Daddy, we are doing well. I went to the doctor and he said everything looks great. My recover is going perfectly. I still thank GOD that I had an easy birthing experience....a short labor, NO swelling, complications, etc. Even moreso, I am SOOOO glad I didn't have a C-Section!!! The only two things I prayed for was a little one over 7.5 lbs and a normal delivery. I'm sooooo happy things played in my favor!!!
As for Durbin, he went back to work after about 3 weeks off. It is so wonderful to hear him call home and talk to Evy. You can tell she recognizes his voice. She gets a smile on her face every time. Daddy sure does miss her...it's adorable! I even send him pics every day of her striking her poses and showing Daddy her poutty face!
Other than that, everything is going great at home! I told Durbin the other day that when Evy arrived in our lives I thought to myself, "How can I possibly go back to work??" With that said, there is a HUGE possibility I will be here with her and the Nanny. Thank GOD for Nanny's! I just feel that daycares can be so germy!!:( Plus, I like Evy to be in her home. It's great now to be able to stay home & watch her hit the first of her milestones. I would never want to miss any of them!!!!
Well, that about covers the past couple weeks for the Durbin's . I'll definitely get some more pics up soon. Organizing these is definitely more time consuming than I planned, but it's a blast!!!
