Pictures of Zechariah, Etc.

Zechariah taking a bath. He usually likes them, but he hasn't been so happy during the last few. They taught us in the hospital to wrap them in a receiving blanket to help keep them warm during bath time.This is a picture of Zechariah taken on Father's Day sitting on his quilt that his mommy needs to finish putting the satin binding on.

This is a sideways picture of Elizabeth April 21, 2011 because we thought Zechariah was on his way and that it might be our last pregnant picture. (She still got bigger before Zechariah was born, most of it was amniotic fluid).

This is a picture of Zechariah with Dr. Shaaban, the surgeon who connected Zechariah's esophagus with his stomach. We had a follow up appointment June 23, 2011 and everything checked out fine and so we don't have to go back until next year! :)

We Love Being Parents!

We love being parents! But I think it is harder than either of us expected. Elizabeth's mom was able to come May 4th and stay until June 10th and we survived the first weekend without her (of course we didn't go anywhere) and John's mom is coming 3 mornings this week and 2 next week while John's dad teaches a robotics class. We have been eating 3 meals a day thanks to church, friends, and family and the dishes are staying washed and the dirty clothes haven't piled up yet. Hopefully we will post again soon (remember we aren't first borns who can do everything it seems and we are really thankful for the first borns in our lives because they have really helped us since we have become parents). :)

Zechariah loves to lay in his crib and just look at the quilt hanging above. (No Elizabeth did not make that quilt.)
