Grandbaby #7 Baby Boy Evan Thomas

Scott and Jess have had a long journey to bring this little boy into the world. This is my first experience as mother of the expected father. It is a whole new feeling when it's your son who is the daddy. Especially when it is Scott who has never expressed much interest towards children or babies. EVER. Well Scott is a natural and he is already an AWESOME Father. 

 

 Jess did not have an easy delivery experience, Evan came into the world a month early. Jess had developed Preeclampsia and it's additional complications concluding with an emergency C Section. Scott was a busy first time Daddy and loving husband providing care for both Jess & Evan.
 Evan had low glucose levels and then couldn't keep his body temperature so spent some time in the NICU. They stayed at the hospital for a week. 
Then the bellirubin decided to be a problem too. All three of my babies had that problem too.
 Poor Jess didn't get to hold that little baby until about 24 hours between his NICU stay and getting meds out of her system. It was a tough time for this first time Mom. She was such a trooper. 
 I think this is my favorite picture from the hospital.
This is from home. Scott has never been one to take a nap. That may be changing. 
They found a photographer to take their newborn photos that came to their home.
For being a month early Even was 5 lbs 5 oz which is a decent size, but he looks pretty teeny!



 Shannon made this little chef's hat and apron. 
This is a tribute to Jess's career as Corporate Bakery Chef at Kneaders.

 If only Evan could be asleep like this all night long.
I can hardly wait to see all those little loose wrinkles filled out with soft baby squishy fat.
Welcome to our Family First Grandson to carry on the Daly Name!! Evan Thomas Daly.
We are so excited to meet you in February.

I'm so glad all is well! They are very deserving parents. I hope you keep updating things about them. By the way, I saw Shannon and family in our ward on Sunday! The were on the other side of the chapel so I didn't get to talk to her, and they must have left early, because I didn't see them again. That was such a fun surprise!
