1st Day Home

Friday night, Mitchell did great. Because he came home only weighing in at 6 lbs, 3 ozs, I decided to "top him off" with some formula so he would sleep better until my milk came in. That was at 11:30pm. He woke around 3am and I thought he was going to want to eat, but he didn't. The next thing I knew, the girls were waking us up at 9am! What a trooper (knock on wood)

We had a relaxing day on Saturday. We took turns holding our new baby and marveling in our new miracle. He is such a good baby and we are so grateful that he is a part of our family.

Sweet baby boy


Doting big sister

Happy Daddy How long do you think this will last?
Skinny little peanut!
The girls riding their bikes/scootas
Even if it was raining!
The fingers have become a favorite
Special moment with mommy
He didn't like the flash in this one!
