So Far So Good

It's Twins! John and Mini Me

Our First Meeting

Jack and our FAVORITE doctor - Dr. Breeland

Well, we've been home three days now and so far so good. I have sat down to type a post several times, but I always get called away by someone much more important. Jack is doing great!

He is a very sweet, very alert baby. And with the exception of one rocky night, he seems to be doing well. He eats every three hours, sleeps in between and loves to ride in the car. When we left Jackson Friday he was jaundice, so we had to take him back to Jackson Sunday to the newborn outpatient clinic at River Oakes for a check up. Everything was great - jaundice gone! He slept the entire time! Even during the exam. We couldn't wake him up. He loves the car and, believe me, we have filed that piece of info back for a sleepless night.

He looks just like John! He looks like you shrunk John down to 6 pounds, 6 ounces, and 20 1/4 inches long. People would stop us in the hospital and tell John, "You have to be that baby's daddy, he looks just like you." They even have the same hair do.

We are really surprised by how alert and aware he seems to be. When we got home Friday afternoon, we were showing him around the house and he opened his eyes very wide. He made a cute little oval shape with his mouth that made it look like he was saying, "OOOHHH!" He loves for you to talk to him. He loves to stare at John and takes in every word John says to him. He HATES to be kept waiting or to have his diaper and clothes changed. He loves to be swaddled and held. He is a snuggler.

It really hasn't sunk in yet. He is a beautiful blessing and we are so in love. There's so much more I want to post about, but it's almost feeding time and I don't want to keep the little one waiting.
