Home Sweet Home

The kids helped make a "Welcome Baby" banner for when we came home from the hospital.

P3 is already quite the character! He pulls a lot of silly faces. He often looks surprised. PE took him out into the garage one time and came back laughing because P3 had this look on his face that said "Help, I'm being abducted!"

 

 

P3 took his binky really well for the first week or two. And then he decided he didn't like it.

 

 

 

While I was scrubbing his head during one of his sponge baths, all the hair on the top of his head fell off. Poor little guy!

At 9 days old I took P3 with me to get my Remicade infusion. I had to stop during my last trimester and my doctor wanted me back on it as soon as the baby was born. I was able to get it at my doctor's office instead of at an infusion center. It ended up being a lot nicer (more private) at the doctor's office. And also cost half as much!

First Doctor Appointment

We made it to P3's two day follow up. He did really well with the doctor. Our regular pediatrician was out of town, so we met with another one in the office. She looked at the names of our kids and asked if we were Irish. I laughed, and said "No, not really." But P3's name is Irish, and P1's sounds Irish too.

P3 is doing really well, and is very healthy! There were no shots this time, but I still had to carry out a crying baby because he hates his carseat.

Hospital PIctures

One of my sweet friends made a cute "boy" garland and a "girl" garland to decorate the baby's bassinet. All of the nurses thought it was really cute.
