Walter Raymond Hopper

With all the craziness of having a baby - the blog has not been updated. Walter Raymond Hopper arrived on July 26, 2009 at 6:46 a.m. He weighed 7 pounds 2 ounces and was 20 inches long. After having contractions for 4 days and waiting for them to get to the 5 minute mark, my water broke at 1:30 a.m. Sunday morning and we headed to the hospital.
Walter dealt with jaundice significantly that left us visiting the pediatrician every day for 6 days getting his foot pricked and bloodwork done. We had a scary first week when his jaundice level peaked at 21.5 but he is on the mend now. He has picked up weight and is more alert than ever.
It is the first week with no company and just mommy and Walt. We are looking forward to mommy and me time! Walt has AMAZING grandparents and aunts and uncles who have been to see him and have helped with him!
