Nolan at 1 week

Nolan is now only hours from being one week old and he is doing very well. Both pediatrician appointments have been positive. While we have been nervous and scared about every little thing, the doc tells us that we have a perfectly healthy child on our hands. What a blessing!

While Nolan still has his days and nights mixed up, we are starting to get adjusted to things and recover from total sleep deprivation. We are definitely tired, just not as tired :) Grandma Smart has been a big help this week by staying with us and getting odds and ends done around the house. Both Grandpa and Grandma Smart are going to stay over tonight as well.

Here is another video of the little guy in action. Enjoy!

Day 5

So we are five days into this thing and it seems to be going well. Took Nolan to the pediatrician yesterday and he said that the little guy looked great. He is a little jaundice but we have already seen an improvement in the past 24 hours.

We want to thank everyone for their prayers, encouragement and generosity thus far. It has been overwhelming and we are grateful for all of our friends and family.

Here are a few pictures of the little guy. Our entire collection of pictures is at the bottom of the page. Check them out!
