Hi there
We've made it to Day 3. The first night at home started off with a bang. Christian woke up at 10pm with a bloody nose and proceeded to cry off and on for 6 hours, just in sync with the baby crying off and on for the entire night. Nighttime aside, it has been wonderful to welcome baby Olin home! My mom is here and I'm proud to say I ate a bowl of pig liver and soup last night. I started gagging at first, and then cut it up into pill-size pieces and swallowed without chewing. I even asked my mom if it might be easier for me to just put it in the Vitamix (the powers of that thing!) but I managed without.
Below are pictures from our weekend.
The misery
The elation!

The matching orange shirts are hilarious. Leelee looks real photogenic in that photo. heehee.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Mel. So many funny things to comment on...from the matching orange shirts to the stink eye, but I especially can't stop giggling at Didi's aversion to being in the group shot. :) Olin is a cutie...amazing how much he looks like Christian as a newborn.
ReplyDeleteditto to Dawn's post, exactly! :) Oh, Mel, I could just eat him up! So precious. I can't believe my Henry is now 5 months...to look at Olin, I'm in newborn baby heaven all over again! Love you so much!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I can't believe you had so much energy to write and post pictures! :)
