My Daddy and Mommy are amazed.  Presents keep arriving from all sorts of people.  Just today, gifts arrived from folks I haven’t met yet, like Andrea (Daddy’s cousin in Germany) and people who work with Daddy – Hannah and Jacque in Los Angeles (where is that?), and also Renee, Trish and Anne in the Rockville Centre office.  Lots of pretty things to add to the many gifts already received.  I have more clothes, blankets and hats than my Mommy now :-)  Everyone has welcomed me into the world with such gusto!

A nice lady stopped by today and showed my Mommy some new ways to hold me so I can eat meals.  I never knew there was such a thing as a lactation consultant.  TMI, I know.

Today, I decided it was OK for me to relax on the couch, as long as Mommy was watching me nearby.  I also spent some time relaxing on mommy’s lap.  Of course, I have pictures.

My Daddy keeps me calm when I get upset.  After I fell asleep, so did Daddy. More pictures on March 6th.

Wow, flowers arrived today from my Daddy’s company, Did-it, and from SEMPO.  I also got a pretty bunny bank from Jean who works with my Daddy.  I have not met her, but she must be nice to send me a bunny bank. My Daddy’s parents and Daddy’s sister Karin are visiting today.  I’m going to call my grandparents GP and Nana as soon as I can talk.  Pictures.

I’m having fun at home. I get to do all these great things like eat, sleep, poop, pee, & snuggle with my parents. Mommy snugs me while I eat. More Pictures. I also had a bath today — my first one at home. I’m not sure I liked being sponged off, but I liked being dried in the towel.

The hospital was a nice experience, but I’m ready to go home now.  We got on the A train, took a cab, and stopped by to meet with Dr. Hops, my new pediatrician at the Continuum Center for Health & Healing.  I slept well in the car seat.  I am now home with my Mommy, Daddy and three cats.  I’m a little bit orangy-colored (a bit of jaundice), so I match the living room couch well.  I hope I return to my normal color soon!  Being an oompa loompa is only fun for a few days.  More Pictures.

I am having a good time here in the hospital with my Mommy & Daddy.  I like the nurses who gave me a bath.  However, they put this big, heavy anklet on me so that no one can run away with me.  Tight security here in the maternity ward.  More Pictures.

I don’t feel like waiting until March 15th. March 1st is long enough to stay in Mommy’s belly. I have things to do. Well actually, I had my Mommy start labor on February 28th, right before dinner, but Mommy didn’t know it was real labor until after midnight. We got to the hospital around 3am. My birthday pictures are here. I weighed in at 6 lbs. 6 oz., and am 19 inches head to toe.

My Aunt Kerren came to visit me, Mommy and Daddy today. Of course, there are pictures of her as well.
