Thursday, May 5 - Evelina is 5 weeks old!!


Our little Evelina is 5 weeks old this week and she finally gets to meet her other grandparents. They flew in on Wednesday, May 4th and will be here until Monday but time is already flying now that they are here. I picked them up from the airport and in the car we had our chat about washing your hands or using the antibacterial stuff before picking her up........then just chatted about how much she is changing and growing. Well, we pull in the driveway and my dad is the first one to hop out of the car........rushing past the antibacterial soap......he has her scooped up into his arms within 5 minutes of getting to the house! Very cute and priceless! It takes me back to the story of my birth that my mom always told me about with my dad rushing me out of the delivery room so he could show me off before the doctors and nurses were finished checking me over!

In additional news of this week, Daddy left for Punta Cana where he is the best man in a wedding. This is the longest he has had to be away from little Eve and after only one night alone with her last night I'm worried what the next few will bring! She is so used to having her Daddy's chest to fall asleep on that I definitely was not good enough and we stayed up rocking and singing together until midnight on two nights so far! Hopefully this isn't a trend for the remaining nights without Daddy!

For the remainder of the trip with the grandparents we are planning on going to my workplace tomorrow to show off the baby to all the nurses and doctors at Carroll Primary Care! They have all been dying to meet her and I'm excited for my parents to see where I normally spend my days!! We went and saw the house today that is rolling along smoothly in construction. And other than some cuddling and down time with the baby we are planning a brunch out together for Mother's Day on Sunday!

More details and photos to come!
