And the Evelyn Roadshow rolls on

Yesterday's episode of the Roadshow featured a stop by the obstetrician's office - Heather is recovering super well. We then followed by a visit to Heather's parents house, followed by going to Fuddruckers with them and my father and brother, and having a great time. Then we took my Dad back to work and toured around his office with Evie, so he could introduce her to his workplace.

Today was a busy day. Last night, we didn't get much sleep, as Evelyn was active between midnight and three A.M. - not crying, just very active, and since she rooms in with us we hear her every coo. And we haven't gotten to the point where we can sleep through the baby's active phase.

We had to wake up early for Evie's two week appointment. She passed her one-week appointment with flying colors, but she weighed in at 8 lbs. 8 oz. Getting back to her birth weight of 8 lbs. 14.6 oz. is a target for the one-week checkup, so they asked us to come back in a week. This time she weighed in at 9 lbs. 6 oz., and the doctor was very happy with her growth and development. A+ report card for Evie!

Then we stopped by home and then headed out to continue the Evie Roadshow. First we headed down to Baileys Crossroads to Grandpa Jim's office in Skyline Tower. He introduced her to everyone at the Social Security branches there. Then, we headed over to Heather's workplace, HDMA at their new location in Ballston. They had moved from Reston to Ballston while Heather was on bedrest before Evie was born, so she had not seen the new office. Also, she had missed many of her office friends very much, and she was sorely missed there as well. It was wonderful to see her re-connect to her boss, who is also a wonderful friend to her.

It's really wonderful to see the pride and joy on the faces of both grandpas as they showed Evie around their workplaces. She is a complete delight to all of her grandparents, and it's such a treat to see the joy on their faces when they get to introduce their granddaughter.
