It's been a busy week here, but I had to post a few pictures while I had a free second. Brody didn't end up having to stay at the hospital Monday night, but we've been keeping daily tabs on his bilirubin level via trips to the pediatrician's office. Unfortunately it has continued to rise, so we'll be going back again tomorrow morning to determine whether or not he needs phototherapy. Pray that it will be on its way back down tomorrow. So far Brody is a great baby! He's had no problems with eating and only wakes up at night (and during the day for that matter) to get his belly full :)
It's been kind of tough on me as a mama because I've had to miss all of Brax's Halloween celebrations due to being in the hospital, taking Brody to the doctor, etc. However, I do have a few pictures to share. Below is Brax in his pirate costume, leaving the hospital on Sunday night to go to Trunk or Treat at church. I think this is the only picture taken in which he is wearing his hat.
Here is Brax at Trunk or Treat with his cute little pumpkin full of candy. I hear that he was much more interested in running around than he was in collecting goodies.
Check out my friend Heather's blog to see pictures of Brax at his preschool Harvest Day party. It looks like they had a great time and I am SO SAD that I had to miss it! We also had Parade of Bible Characters at church tonight. Brax, Ben and Drew dressed up together and looked adorable. I'll post pictures of that as soon as I get them downloaded to the computer. Hope everyone is having a great week. We're enjoying our boys so much, but it's a lot of work having two. Thank goodness for grandparents and friends who are willing to help out during the transition! We'll post more later!

I had to miss Christian's first Halloween stuff at school too. It was sad but you have plenty more to see over the next few years.

When Christian was born we ended up having a little 'tanning bed' at the house for three days. I could only hold him to feed and change him:( I pray that Brody doesn't have to do that, but if he does it will go by quickly.
