Week 3 In the Life of Thor

Thor is continuing to do very well. He had the Big C this past week, so that wasn't a whole lot of fun, but otherwise seems happy and content. Thor continues to do what baby's do best....eat, sleep and fill diapers. He occasionally entertains Mom and Dad with funny faces and lots of cooing usually in the wee hours of the morning. Thor went to church for the first time today and was a very good baby.

Thor's First Easter

Happy Easter Everyone! Thor just about slept through the entire day except to have a bit to eat every now and then. Which means we're probably in for a long night. Cousin Rachael was nice enough to play the role of Easter Bunny. Having so much fun!

Brought Thor home on Saturday March 15 after a long morning wait. Thor had gone from 10 lbs 10 ozs to 9 lbs 2 ozs. This was a little more weight loss than the docs wanted to see so we had to wait to be cleared to go home. Also Thor, like so many other babies, was getting jaundice and so we had to order a Bili-light bed for him to rest on at home whenever he wasn't feeding.

Thor has arrived!!

Thor Johannes Eckert was born Tuesday March 11, 2008 at 12:41pm. He was 10 lbs 10 oz and 23 inches in length. He spent the first two hours of his life in NICU with his dad because he had trouble clearing fluid in his lungs. We have been one happy family ever since and are having an absolute blast hanging out and taking care of our new little one.
