Little Layneski

I came up with the nickname "Layneski" for my son Layne. This was my first attempt at creating a father son bond. Our first guy thing if you will. Whenever Kim first started using it she added an "s" to the end. Who said she could use it in the first place, much less changing it to the plural. She didn't realize it but she had trespassed an unspoken age-old male bonding ritual. Is there nothing sacred anymore!!???? We finally had a talk about it and she relinquished her usage of the nickname. I felt bad and apologized later. He's still got his rattail though. "Adda Boy Laneski!"

Week 4

Layne's doing very well. Thanks so much to everyone who's been around, offered help, and fed us the last few weeks. Tomorrow will be his fourth week in this world! Can't believe it's gone by so fast. It's come to my attention that I haven't been great at updating his status. So, for those of you who will read this, his heart is doing very well. He won't officially be "cleared" until his 2-month check up, but the doctor says it's pretty much cleared itself up. He's quite the talk of the town, though! No one at Children's or at Lakeside had seen such a "strip" before from his fetal heart monitor or the EKG after he was born. Thank the Lord that all is well! Here's a pic of Brad feeding him his first bottle. Through the magic of storing milk, mom gets a break from a feeding around week 3. Wonderful!!!
