He was quickly nicknamed the movie star/rock star baby by all the nurses because of all his hair. The rock star title definitely fits when he does his high pitched squeal when he is not happy. Sadly that little quirk is fading fast and I just hope we have it on video.We spent an extra day in the hospital because he had swallowed some fluid during delivery and needed his tummy cleaned out. He also had an EKG and an Echo performed on him and we learned that he has a slight ventricular defect in his heart. Thankfully it is nothing life threatening, he is just slightly at a higher risk for a heart infection. There is a chance that this tiny hole will close up over time. We are beyond grateful and relieved that it is not serious. It did give Tyler a bit of a scare as he watched from the other side of the glass as the technician and doctor pointed things out on the screen during the Echo.Taylor adores him and wants to hold him all.the.time! She is a big help.Andy and Ashlyn sometimes act like he is not around.
They have each other and they play all day and act as if nothing has changed. Although Ashlyn has reminded me that I can now bend down because there is not a baby in my tummy anymore. Except today she told me there is still a baby in my tummy because "Chase needs to be twins" like her and Andy are twins. She wants a baby girl too.We love our Baby Chase! He is perfect! We are so excited to have him as part of our family. Before each child is born I always wonder how I will love another little person, how will they fit into our family, will it change my relationship with the other kids. The moment I heard those first cries I was in love with this little guy and so grateful that he has been sent to us.
