Just sitting with the little guy getting in our last cuddle time before his big day. He’s so amazingly peaceful this morning especially for not having been fed his least two meals. I’ll be posting here as we hear news throughout the day. Please send all your positive thoughts and prayers Evan’s way today.

  Evan has been doing so well, we could not be happier about his progress. He’s gained about 6 ounces since birth and boy does he eat. Sarah’s milk came in and she’s been a machine. I checked the refrigerator in the ICU tonight before we left and there was enough in there for his […]

Evan is doing better than anyone would have guessed that a ‘heart baby’ would be doing. Heart babies with conditions like Evan’s tend to have too much blood going to their lungs; this causes excess fluids to accumulate in their chest making breathing difficult. The breaths become shallow and fast causing a buildup of carbon […]

Evan is officially one and a half days old. He’s been doing what I imagine most babies do for the first few days, sleep. His blood sugar was bouncing all over the place but that has stabilized. We’re trying to get him to eat on his own so that he does not need the feeding […]

Evan Video Here are a few video clips of Evan. The first is right after birth while they were wrapping him up to go to the NICU. The second and third clips were taken in the NICU about 20 minutes after birth while they were checking him out and making imprints of his feet.

I’ll post more details about the labor and such later, but for now…. He’s finally here!!! Evan Michael Wood was born at 5:39AM. He was 8 lbs 6.4 ounces and measured 21.5 inches long. Mom and baby are doing great. We’re waiting to get results from the echo-cardiogram and i’ll update more later.    

  Sarah and I ‘moved’ to Ann Arbor yesterday to await the arrival of little Evan. We were planning on moving sooner but with zero pre-labor symptoms we decided to wait until yesterday. She has not had anything other than Braxton Hicks contractions so far but if you ask me, he looks like he’s getting […]

Evan!  Your room is finally done!  I think we are just about as prepared as we will ever be.  It took some serious organizing but everything has come together nicely.  It is hard to imagine just how much a little baby has until you start to put it all away.  First there are all of […]

  This is normal right? I mean he’s not going to spend much time in the nursery in the beginning anyway right? I guess my task between now and next Thursday is to clean this up mess. Orrrrrrr… Mom will be here next week and will be looking for something to do, hmmm. 😉   […]

Mom and Evan are in the home stretch now, we’ve got just over a week to go! We have worked out most of the logistics for the birth, at least the ones that we can control, the rest is up to Evan and when he decides that he wants to make his debut. The appointment […]
