Sweet Esme

Just a little update on Esme.....We went to the doctor's on Tuesday of this week, and it turn out that Esme has an upper respitory infection. She is taking amoxicillin and I think it is working. She is still having a hard time breathing sometimes because of the congestion, but I think it is on its way out. We also found out that she has a pretty bad case of apnea. She stops breathing quite often, even when she is awake, causing her lips to turn blue and me to panic!!!! We have a therapist coming to the house today to show me how to use the apnea monitor. Esme also had an upper GI on Wed. and thankfully that came back normal. Please pray for Esme and us as well. Thanks =)

4 weeks later...

I has been almost 4 weeks since Esme was born and things are going GREAT! She is such a blessing to our family. We brought her to church with us for the first time yesterday and she slept the whole time. Aydan got to play in the nursery and cried when it was time to leave. Aydan is such a great big brother. Esme is starting to stay awake for longer periods of time, and is tracking objects with her eyes. Her eyes are starting to turn green and she still has all of her beautiful dark hair! =) She is a great sleeper. I can lay her down awake and she falls asleep on her own (most of the time). last week we finally got the rest of our grass and next week we are getting a fence! Aydan is going to have so much fun this summer! Jason has an awesome garden growing in the backyard! I can't wait for peapods!
