Everett - Day 2

napping

Visit by Judy

What are you doing in my bed?

Our first day was filled with surprises, including having to take little Everett to the pediatricians for her first visit. Everything went well and we spent the rest of the day eating, sleeping. Linda gets the MVP for allowing Laura and I to get some much needed sleep by staying up with her most of the night. Today Mrs. Judy came by and gave Everett a few tests which she passed. I think it was too easy, she slept through most of it. There are no appointments today, just a busy schedule of eating, sleeping and a ... laundry, not necessarily in that order.

Everett Joy Aeder

Everett Joy Aeder was born at home on March 7th at 2:24 am. She was 7.5 lbs and 20.25 inches. She was born with her hand next to her head and likes to keep her hands close to her face. She has a good strong latch and good appetite. She seems to recognize her mom and dad's voices and has a sweet and calm disposition. She was born with a full head of hair that looks light brown however is still pending an official ruling. We are completely in love with her and feel very fortunate that she has decided to join us, even if she was 13 days late.

Mom's birthday

Had a birthday brunch out in the shade in the backyard which felt very Italian. Then the ladies went to the butterfly garden, frozen yogurt at Mochi and Lake Alice. It was gorgeous sundress weather in February. Gotta love Florida. We were hoping for a baby today on Grama and Mom's birthday but this little one has its own plans I guess.

The butterflies landed on us a lot. Aunt Marjorie even said one bit her
(do butterflies have teeth?)

New windows

Dad gave us new windows as a baby gift. Patrick and Dad installed them and they look great!

Patrick's Birthday poker party

Well, I made it through another year. I decided to celebrate with some good friends over a friendly game of poker. Unfortunately, it was not my night. Luckily Andrew was feeling generous and offered to buy breakfast for all if he won the night. It was a 5:30 am when the final hand was dealt and Andrew was indeed the victor. Like a champ, he stuck to his word and we all enjoyed a great breakfast.

Patrick and Ryan enjoying a fresh home-made soda. Thanks Dad.

The Last men standing. Well done Gentleman. Andrew wins with a straight.

January 16th Shands baby shower at Joe's

Having a coed work baby shower at the bar was a great idea. We got to hang out, eat home made sugar cookies (my craving food), open presents, play pool AND watch NFL playoffs.

Baby shower at Rita's

Oregon Mom Linda is here for the baby shower at Rita's. Yummy chicken salad and rosemary lemon cookies. Three generations of ladies celebrating. Six more weeks! The m and ms predicted the baby is a girl but the jelly bellies predicted a boy.
