The Menno Knight Putting the Fist Back in Pacifist

As time goes by.

Things are going well in the Bartel household. Well, at least our Bartel household. I won't dare make assumptions about the others throughout the country.

We're getting used to incorporating a new life into ours. And so far, it's been great. Tiring... but great. Last week, after going to the doctor almost everyday, Evelyn finally started to turn the corner. Her bilirubin dropped and she was gaining weight. YAY! Go team!

She's still a little bit of a light weight. We still have to wake her for feedings most of the time. She still falls asleep occasionally while feeding. And she still sleeps all the time. It's weird to complain about the sleep since I know in a few weeks we'll wonder where that went.

She does occasionally surprise us with being alert and asking to be fed. Like last night, where she was hungry for a little bit of food (an ounce or so) every hour. Luckily, it was every hour from 8PM to 11PM and not every hour from 2AM to 6 AM.

So, like I said, things are going well. It's a new adventure for us and it's fun so far. We also get to start another new adventure in a month when we close on our new home. So, that should add a new twist to our lives.

Anyways, that's all I got for now. Check out my sister-in-law's blog or my wife's for some more Evelyn pictures.
