Happy 3 weeks old

So our Andrew is now three weeks old. Here are some pics that Eric took of our little Chicago GSB (now Booth) guy. Great job Eric.

Mike promised the GSB LEAD peeps that we'd send some pics of Andrew in his future LEAD facilitator polo.

We just adore being parents to such an angel.

Almost two weeks

Here is our little philosopher son, deep in thought (okay, asleep). Mike just took this a minute ago as we were putting up this post. He loves to put his hand up when he sleeps.

Tomorrow is Andrew's second week birthday. Here are some pictures of the last two weeks.

We're so happy grandma Marianne is here! Andrew couldn't be happier (and Erin & Mike can finally get some sleep).

Here are pics of Andrew's first trip to the pediatrician. Let is be known that he was nine days old in this picture and weighed in at 11 pounds 6 ounces. Our pediatrician didn't believe the scale and had to weigh him twice.

We love our little Andrew.

My first walk with Andrew all on my own. Here we are outside of our building.

Dad and son naptime bonding.

These below were all taken when Grandma Jillair was here. We loved having her here. She did so much for us while Erin was bedridden and recovering. Thank heavens for grandmas and pain meds.

More daddy & son pics.

Happy birthday Erin! Erin got just what she wanted--a happy & health baby. What a blessing Andrew is in our lives. Thanks to Heather and Allen for the fabulous ice cream cake!

Finally back at the ranch

More pictures of Andrew...


Here is our little sleepyhead.

Mike loves the below pic because this is exactly how he sleeps (arm up). Like father, like son...

Here we are at the hospital getting ready to go home.

Here we are putting on his first outfit to take him home in (previously all he wore were kimono tees and swaddling blankets). We got a bit on video. What an event.

Dad and son moment at the hospital.

First pee on the shirt...we had to capture this moment.


This video is for Nathan and Hannah. For everybody else, don't feel like you have to watch this (it's a bit long), but we figure the family will want to see the "first outfit" moment.

Andrew Michael Featherstone

Hey everyone, we chose a name--Andrew Michael Featherstone. Here are a couple of videos.

These are for you, Grand-Mare. :-)

Well, it took him a while to get here, but...Baby Featherstone has arrived! It was a long night, and Erin had to go in for an emergency c-section, but everything is great with mom and the baby and now we're all trying to catch up on some rest.

He's huge: 10 lbs 6 oz, and 22 inches long! Our doc said she has no idea how that baby was hiding in there. Here are a few pics, with more to come later. It's time for a nap...

I think I look pretty cool in my blue OR suit here, especially considering it was 4am at the time...

Halloween 2008

We dressed up as Juno and Bleeker for our Halloween party last night.

It's the last time I'll get to show off the belly, as tomorrow at 12:30pm we're scheduled to be induced. Wish us luck!

No baby news yet...

Two days past our due date. Still waiting...

Friday night hangout

We headed out for some Indian food with our friends Payal and Kapil last night. We made sure to take some pictures to capture on film how big baby Featherstone is getting.

Shower time

Last Saturday Connor and the partners club had the cutest shower for me at Connor's house. I love my partners girls.

And then last night Heather & Whitney hosted one at my house. You girls are the cutest. Thank you to everyone that was there. It was a blast!

Baby showers are the best! Thank you to everyone who was there.

Call it a late-night study break...

This made me laugh. Hopefully you will, too. Enjoy!
