Tess's Grand came over everyday last week to help us. It really cheered Tess up! We set-up Tess in the downstairs bedroom with a DVD player and she just stayed in bed and watched movies. She is doing a little better eating and drinking. Last week she only ate enough to get by. Poor thing. Thank you Grand for coming over- we couldn't have survived by ourselves!
Here is Hutch pictured at 1 week old. Look how skinny those arms are!! (he's kinda orange too.)
Here is Hutch just 3.5 weeks later at 1 month old. WOW! Look how big he has gotten! How do they grow so fast? It blows my mind!! He is currently taking 4-6 ozs every 2-4 hours. Most of the time in the day he eats ever 3 hours. At night he can go for 4 hours before wanting to eat. Early in the morning and sometimes late in the evening he will want to eat every 2 hours. I think he is getting ready to sleep at night. He usually takes a bottle at 10pm, 2am, and 5-6am. This morning 5am! He is a good sleeper inbetween feedings and is mostly peaceful. He has a touch of the Reflux...but I think most babies do. Overall, doing really good. 
Hutch man laying on his rug in his room for the first time....cozy and soft.
My dad had Hutch smiling, but of course my camera is too slow. I will get a pic of that smile sooner or later. 
Hutch sleeping at Larry's. Only about 10 more months till you can have pizza lil' fella! 
Tess telling Granny and Pop "bye". She started to cry not too long after this picture was taken. She told me "I want to ride the motercycle." and "I miss them." so sad...
I am playing a little catch-up with the blog. Tess is getting better everyday. She is still a little whiny and in pain, but overall she is doing pretty good. They say by day number 10 they should be out of pain- only 3 days to go. She DOES NOT like to take her medicine. If she hears us say the word "medicine" she starts having anxiety..."don't want to take my medicine" "don't want the orange kind...want the pink kind." "don't wona take it anymore" I think she is a pretty tuff lil' girl- she let me look at the back of her throat....OUCH! It looks very painful. She is already sleeping later in the morning and no snoring! Yeah! I think she will thank us later in life? These pics of her were taken pre-surgery. I left my mascara sitting in the living room and the next time I saw her she looked like this. Overall, I think she did a pretty good job getting it on her lashes. She loves loves loves make-up and "polish" (fingernail polish).
Hutch's 1st bath. I just love his little lil' booty in this picture. All those wrinkles....too cute.
