January 28th
6lbs 14oz

Tage and Savanna, I was told they were so excited when they got to meet their new brother.

Just like his big brother and big sister Boston had a little problem with his oxygen so he had to have a little "whiff" of oxygen going in him, luckily he was only on it for a short while.



Proud daddy
And just in case you are wondering why there isnt a picture of me here.....well, one c-section later + not much sleep = not the best of pictures I was willing to share :)


My mom and dad were so awesome and took Tage and Savanna while I was in the hospital. Due to all the illness' that were going around children under the age of 14 were not permitted to visit anyone at the hospital. The kids got to see Boston right after he was born and then once more while he was in the nursery. These pictures of the kids were on the day I was discharged..they were soo excited to get see their new brother basically for the first time up close in person.

Above Boston had to be put under the Bili Lights, he had a pretty high result with the jaundice so he spent about two days just like this. He was not a happy camper. One good thing is that being under the lights dried the umbilical cord and it fell off, just one less thing to have to worry about.

Below, is the day he was done being under the lights...he was so happy and content to have clothes on.
He certainly is our little munch-kin and we love him so. The kids love it when he is awake and they can see his eyes, and they are pretty helpful. It has been, needless to say, a very busy week getting use to the whole "baby mode" again. Its wonderful being mom and I can't wait to see what happens next.

He is so cute!! I bet the kids are absolutely loving it! I remember the bili lights, they weren't much fun... but it sure is better than being sick! :) I hope you are doing well, and if you ever need anything... feel free to call!
