Hello Mommy |
My proud parents are so happy to finally see me. |
An hour later, they take me to the lab for weigh in. |

Snoozing with Mommy in the recovery room |
Our first photo as a Family of Five |
Gramma and GranDad brought my big brothers to visit, and Cade gave me
my first bottle. |
About 4 hours before delivery, Mommy is hooked up and ready for
action. Dr. Andrews checks the status. |
The first step was to remove this Cerclage. |
|
For the numerologists On top of all the
repetitions of 1-2-9 in his birth date and time, the random number on his
ID bracelet in the maternity ward was 12299 Maybe we
should buy him a pick-3 lottery ticket with those numbers? |

My first morning in the Nursery, recovering just after Dr. Andrews did
my circumcision |
Mommy just finished my diaper change. |
Mommy looks really nice after a good night sleep. |
Got a good appetite already, gulped down twice the normal amount of
forumla. |
Gramma came to visit again in the morning |
Cade is really proud of his new brother! |
Daddy spends a while cuddling with me |
Mommy wanted a photo with all her boys. Cade is quite happy to
cuddle with me, but Dane is still a bit confused by all the commotion. |
