Ewan is 2 weeks old

I've been working a lot on Ewan's birth story, so here's just a quick update on week 2, mostly in photos...

Our big boy has continued to get bigger! At his doctor's appointment yesterday, he weighed in at 10 pounds, 4 ounces, a whole pound more than at the previous week's appointment (he had lost a couple of ounces after his birth, which is normal). He also "grew," or at least stretched another inch, placing him around the 90th percentile for both length and weight, and the 75th percentile for head circumference, so he is consistently big. I guess he's getting enough to eat!

Here are a few highlights in photos from the week... This first one was technically from last week, but I forgot to share it. Ewan gave me a beautiful green sapphire ring from a place called Brilliant Earth in San Francisco for helping to bring him into the world. I think his daddy and Auntie Amber may have had something to do with it, but they won't really admit it. Here are the boys giving me the ring (it was attached to Ewan's little arm with a note). I was obviously a bit emotional about it...We had a ton of visitors this week (too many to post photos of!). Today my Aunt Peg and Troy's sister and her three kids arrived, and I'm sure we'll have plenty of photos of our time with them to share by next week. The big visitor of this past week, though, was my dad, Ewan's Grampa Don. Grampa Don's love for Ewan was so strong and instantaneous that we think it caught him off guard. We got some great photos:
