Grandpa Maston

We had our first visitor from home this past weekend. Grandpa Maston came on Thursday. We had a good time but like always the visit ended too soon.




Here is Andrew in his cute overalls. I was so excited to capture this smile.

Andrew has been suffering from reflux. They told us to keep him upright as much as possible. So I borrowed a bouncy seat from a friend, thinking that would help. Problem is, Andrew does not like it. He usually screams as soon as we put him in it. In this picture below he stayed in it for about 20 min.

Growing boy

Andrew is almost 3 weeks old! I can't believe it. He now weighs 7lbs. 11 ounces. He gained 9 ounces last week. He has started staying awake more during the day, which means he is sleeping better at night.

We had a few adventures this week. The weather was nice so we took a few walks. We tried using his Snugli carrier. He wasn't sure about it at first, but then was fine with it. He looked like a doll in it though. He was stiff as could be. He also went for his first bus ride. It was a 2 hour adventure to Tesco to grocery shop. He slept through the entire trip.


Here are a few pictures of Andrew sleeping on daddy while daddy studied. Too cute!


Andrew is thinking about falling asleep but not sure he wants to.

My creative side

I decided a few days ago to experiment with some black and white photos. I was very pleased with some of the shots. A few came out a little blurry but I kept them anyway because of Andrew's cute expressions.

More Pictures

It is amazing how many pictures we have taken of Andrew over the past week. He is just so precious that we can't help ourselves.



He sleeps most of the day. I often have to wake him up to eat because he won't wake up himself. We are still working on sleeping at night. At first he would sleep as long as we were holding him but would not sleep in his bed. Then he started sleeping in his bed fine. However tonight we are back to holding. In the second picture he is grabbing the handle on the moses basket.


We have been so blessed by our church during this time. We have been provided with wonderful meals and have had many visitors.

Pics of Andrew

We came home from the hospital on Thursday afternoon. I have to say that our hospital experience was great. The midwives that took care of us were wonderful.

These are pictures from our 2nd day in hospital.



On day 3, Andrew was sporting his OU outfit. Daddy was so proud. It is a little big at this point.


This was a moment I had to capture...Andrew helping Daddy with his reading.


On Friday we took Andrew for a walk. It was a beautiful, sunny day. He seemed to enjoy it.

Introducing . . .

Andrew Connor Maston

No height measurement yet (this will be down when we leave the hospital)

Mom and baby are doing great. He slept all day, and mom slept a few hours. (Dad is doing well too.)


We will give more details when we return home.

No, this is not an April Fool's Day joke, although the thought did cross my mind.
Here are some friends at the hospital to prove it.
