One Month Old

We can't believe how time is absolutely flying! Nolan was four weeks old yesterday and will be a month old on Monday. It was fun taking him out a few times this week. We went to Grandma Jeanne & Grandpa Bob's house and we also went out to eat a couple times. For the most part, he did great. We found out that he seems to love car rides and has slept pretty much the whole time he's in the car. Hopefully that means he'll do well on future roadtrips to Cincinnati and the Hurter reunions!

It's extremely cold here in Chicago and we're getting a bunch of snow and ice as I write this. The forecast for the next few days doesn't look any better. So it looks like Nolan and I will hibernate for the next few days and Dad will head off to work.

We hope you're all doing well. Stay warm!

Three Weeks Old

Nolan is three weeks old today! Dave and I are having a lot of fun with him and he constantly keeps us on our toes. I'm excited that the weekend is here so Dave can watch him for a little bit while I go run some errands and venture out to the outside world. I'm looking forward to it! =) We're anxious for the weather to get nice so we can start taking him out for walks. We're going to take him on a "mini-road trip" on Sunday to Grandma Jeanne & Grandpa Bob's house for lunch. We'll see how he does! Take care and have a great weekend!

Two Weeks Old

It's hard to believe that Nolan is already two weeks old! We're starting to get into the swing of things at home. Nolan loves his crib and is a great sleeper! He's going 4 hours between feedings during the day and 5 hours at night. So Dave and I have managed to get a decent amount of sleep...knock on wood!

Nolan had his first pediatrician check-up at 10 days old and the doctor was very pleased with how he was doing. We feel so blessed that Nolan is such a healthy little boy. And speaking of healthy...Nolan has an incredibly healthy appetite and digestive system!! =)

Take care and have a great week!

Welcome Home Nolan!

Our little guy finally made his arrival this past Friday night, 1/26/07 at 8:39pm. I was induced because I was nine days late and he wasn't giving us any signs that he was ready to meet us. After 13 hours of labor, I ended up having a C-section because he was just simply too big and wasn't dropping at all. Nolan is a very healthy little boy and we're all doing well. We came home on Tuesday afternoon. We really appreciate all your kind words, e-mails, and phone calls. We'll keep this website posted with recent photos and Nolan updates, so please save the link and feel free to check out the site at any time. Nolan is anxious to meet all of you!
