Doing Well
Everyone is doing well. Shawn spent most the week in bed resting. The infection really drained her energy, but she is on the mend.
Esther is wonderful. She sleeps through the night. We have to wake her up to feed. She is also sleeping most of the day.
We have a big weekend coming up. Tonight I am going to Dave and Busters for Chris Naylor's Bachelor Get Together. Then Sunday we are attending Chris and Angie's wedding in Glenview, IL.
Thanks to Granny for coming up this week to help out for a couple of days, even though she was injured. She got in a fight with a Pampered Chef slicer and dicer and lost. Her wound was nothing 12 stitches couldn't repair. The battle scar will make her look tough. ;-)

First Week in the World
It's been a great week. Yesterday(Friday), we visited Dr. Zumhagen in Naperville. Esther is 4 ounces below birth weight which is acceptable. All systems go. Shawn may have an infection in her abdomen. The doctor prescribed an antibiotic which seems to be helping. Shawn is laying low this weekend and resisting the urge to do anything but lay around.
We have received a ton of help from lots of people. Granny Vicki was stayed with us from Saturday till Thursday. Grandma Diane spent time with Abby and PJ on Thursday afternoon. On Wednesday, our neighbor Mandy brought us a meal. Scott, Laura and Maddie Pfister came to visit on Thursday and brought Chinese food. Last night, Sue(another neighbor) brought us a meal as well. I believe, Paige(the neighbor behind us) is bring a meal tonight. People have been very generous.
Today, Abby, PJ and I are going to the grand opening celebration of a new park that was just built near the Fox River in Oswego. The park district is providing free food, games and a 50's style band.
Here is a photo of Esther that was taken on Thursday. She is beginning to open her eyes more and becoming more expressive. Click on the image below the see a larger version. Checkout the phot gallery. There is this photo of Esther next to a photo of her when she was just born. It's awesome to see the changes.
