The Andrew Update...

Sorry for not posting for a while. We have had a relatively busy week. The whole family has been to the doctor a number of times since leaving the hospital. The doctor had a couple of concerns. Andrew had dropped a few ounces and his bilirubin numbers climbed to a level that our pediatrician wanted to watch. That being said, we went back to the doctor repeatedly last week and even on Saturday. However, as the new week got underway, we found out that his weight is back to his birth weight (a good thing), and his color was good.

We received visits from all of Andrew's grandparents. Grandma Mary and Grandpa Jerry stayed with us Saturday night (again, more tornado warnings), and helped out a lot around the house. He was very happy to sit and stare with both of them.

Grandma and Grandpa Oldenburg also stopped over and got the chance to talk with and hold him.

Grandma and Grandpa Fasching also stopped by and helped out a lot on Monday. The garden and house look great. Andrew, mom and I all want to say thank you for all you do!

Aunt Julie and cousin Logan also stopped over and dropped off some cute (okay, studly) outfits for Andrew.

Aunt Sara and cousins Peter and Ryan also came over and made sure all of Andrew's toys were play tested. This is a very important job as we don't want Andrew playing with any faulty toys.

This last weekend was about making new friends as well. He was able to spend some quality time with his friends Abby and Brianna.





Andrew also took another shot at getting to know Murphy. Both parties are still curious and not completely sure what the other one does.

We hope to post again soon. Maybe even this time it will be faster than five days so Mr. Adams doesn't have to keep asking, "When's the next post?!?"

Talk to you all soon,

Andrew and Family.
