One week down, 935 to go!



We can hardly believe that a week has already gone by, and Jenny survived her first day home with Levi by herself (I went back to work today, but productive would not be a good word to describe it...).




Levi has been pretty active for his first week, including time with Uncle John, Great Aunt Leslie (Nancy's Sister) and Auntie Sammi, having his first check-up at the doctor's office, strolling around Roscoe Village (our neighborhood), and lots of hiccups!









And not surprisingly, he has spent a lot of time sleeping...




Parenthood has been a huge blessing so far and as much as I hated having to go to work today and am dreading the rest of the week away from Jenny and Levi, it was exciting hearing how much Jenny was enjoying her time alone with her son (Including dressing him up in a ducky outfit that made him look like a little girl).





Thank you all for your loving words, prayers, and encouragement. Hopefully you'll all get a chance to meet him sooner rather than later! Have a wonderful rest of the week and once again I'll post if anything exciting happens or at least look for another post this time next week. ~Casey




P.S. I forgot to mention, and I didn't even think about it until later last week, but Jenny's on-call doctor was Dr. Levin (LEVI-n), and delivery doctor was Dr. Levitt (LEVI-tt)... it was meant to be! Happy One Week, Levi!!!

Welcome Home Levi!



Welcome home little guy! Today was "going home day" and Levi did very well. The nurses loved him so much and were sad to see him leave, but we were ready to go. Honestly, I've never driven so slow in my entire life, but he's my baby and "I'll do what I want" (a quote from his Uncle John's life motto).





Additionally, we wanted to make sure he was well protected, in ALL areas, including his precious little eyes. Unfortunately the psuedo-seriousness was lost in how hilarious he looked. Even our nurse had to call in all the other post-partum nurses, doctors, and med students. So, laugh if you must, but we're good parents and we had his best interests in mind (he looked hilarious). I'm not sure what else to say, but I know you all want to see pictures, so here he is some more:







Have a great day, all, and if anything hilarious or interesting comes up I'll post it. ~Casey
