Here is Parker Gabriel Keenan at 5 days old. A lot of the swelling in his face has gone down, he is just so darn cute. Well at least mommy, daddy, and nana think so! We had a 3-5 baby check-up yesterday and he was weighing in at 9.14 so he hasn't lost too much weight. This did not surprise me because it feels like he is constantly attached to me wanting to nurse, we actually have to also feed him 2 oz of formula at each feeding to make him content. What can I say he is a big baby and LOVES to eat! His jaundice levels also came down quite a bit so he did not have to be readmitted to the hospital to be put under the lights, thank goodness. He has been sleeping great at night so far he gets up around 2-3 times a night to feed and once we change his diaper he usually is ready to fall back asleep. It has been great having Nana around because she will take him in the morning after I nurse which lets Michael and I sleep a little longer. What am I going to do when she leaves????=) Babies are truly a blessing from above=)

What a cutie! I am glad to hear he is doing so well, the first few days can be so scary. Enjoy all the sleep you can get while Nana is there:>) You'll need to pray for all of us back here when Nana has to pull herself away from you and Parker. She'll have to fill the void with SHOPPING for Parker:>) I am anxious to hear all about him.
Good job Mommy
Love,

I finally made a blog site and now I can actually leave comments on your blog! Parker is changing so much already! I can't get over all of his dark hair. Dustin, Hadley and I cannot wait to see you and finally get to meet Mr. Parker. We miss you and love you! See you soon! (I am glad that Nana is there to take care of you! She was even with Hadley for her first bath!)
Parker is so adorable! I'm so thankful for this blogspot so I can see lots of pics the family!
