Lucas - Week 3

Week 3 Lucas still slept a lot which was great for me and Jason because we weren't too sleep deprived yet! We had Grandma and Grandpa Snowden here for a full week so Lucas got a lot of extra cuddles that week! He met more of our friends and we went on another outing to the dog park since we're still not allowed to really get out due to how bad the flu is here. Our weather here has been amazing (40-60 degrees every day - Sorry Chicago friends!) so we are so thankful for the opportunity to get out when we want. We also had a follow up to his bilirubin levels and weight check.  His levels haven't gone up but haven't gone down as much as they'd like to see but there wasn't a need for lights so we were super happy about that.  I make Jason take him to get his blood drawn every time, breaks my heart when he cries! He weighed in at 7 lbs 6 oz and 20 inches...our little growing baby! Another amazing week with our sweet love!

 Meeting Aunt Jen, Jason's step-sister! Thanks for making the trip down to visit!

So yeah, this isn't a picture of Lucas but I'm documenting our family's week too!  My first glass of wine!  It went down way too fast and was delicious!  Grandma and Grandpa Snowden watched Luke so Jason and I could go on a date.  Our baby was only 2 weeks old but Jason and I think it's very important to take time out for our relationship to keep it strong.  And how often do we get a babysitter here in Colorado!?  We went out for sushi and had a great night together.  I think we were back home within 75 minutes of leaving - HA! After dinner I was practically racing to the car to get back home to snuggle Lucas but I am so glad we got out and enjoyed each others company and delicious sushi! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for babysitting!  

So content loving life!

Heading out to the dog park - while he doesn't look thrilled to be heading out, he really does well in the car seat!
