Shepard, 3 weeks old!

It has been a GREAT three weeks with Shepard! He is a GREAT baby! Owen just absolutely loves his brother, which is such an answer to prayer. Owen has been my baby for three years, and I prayed so much during my pregnancy that the Lord would prepare his little heart for such a big adjustment. And He did!

Shepard got an excellent report at his 2-week checkup. He had gained a whole pound from what he weighed when we left the hospital!! The doctor was really impressed with that! He is becoming more alert every day and just goes with the flow of things around our house. Poor guy will never know what peace and quiet means!

Two Brothers

Here we are on our first morning after Mom left, just us four.  Owen had school this morning, and we actually got up, I got Shepard fed, and we ate breakfast in time to have a few moments for the brothers to cuddle!  (notice milk on Owen's pj's!) Owen is really loving Shepard and wants to hold him all the time!
