Memorial Day and other fun!

This past Memorial Day was a blast. Two other couples that we are friends with have also had babies within the past year, so we've managed to create a little playgroup among the three families. We spent lunchtime at our friends' Jeremy and Emily's house. Isaac was a little fussy and fought sleep the whole time (even after downing 5 ounces of milk), until finally passing out in daddy's arms...only to wake up again right before we left. He crashed in the car on the way home though. It will be so much fun to see the friendships with the kiddos develop over the coming years!

In other news, our jaundice monitoring continues. His levels still aren't really high, but still are high enough that they want to keep monitoring them. He will go in for another blood test next week...so hopefully the levels will continue to go down. Other than that, our little man is growing like a weed and still eating non-stop. I'm not setting the alarm at night to wake up to feed him...he wakes me pretty much every three hours on his own now. I can't wait until his two month appointment so we can see how much he has gained!

This was a fun weekend! We took Isaac to church for the first time this past Sunday, and of course, were greeting with shrieks of excitement from friends who have also been eagerly awaiting his arrival. It was fun to see people do a "double take" when they first saw us, and then saw the baby. One friend actually came up and asked if I had had the baby yet, and I answered "no" with as serious of a face as I could muster. :) He was lots of fun proudly showing off our little guy!

Another highlight from this week was taking Isaac up to the school for the first time to meet my class and the other faculty and staff at the school. He was a BIG hit with everyone, and my class was SO excited to see the both of us. My favorite response came from one of my kids to asked me "where my belly went." :) So cute! There were definitely lots of oohhs and aahhs. He pretty much slept the whole time we were there, only waking up to eat, and then going back to sleep.
