Meet the Browns

Here we are on our way out of the hospital! Our first family 'portrait'.


Look at how lucky I am...


So we're finally home and our first day was quite an adventure. We went through 2 outfits, a set of sheets and about 5 diapers, just since we got home. Brendan gave me my first splash down! Ya let your guard down for a minute and you can get a big surprise. He did well on his ride home, but got a little impatient waiting for Dana to get a prescription filled, so I had to take him out of his car seat to hold him for a bit. He settled right down.

The cats have been very curious about Brendan. They each took turns giving him a sniff and peeking in to his crib. Sammy spent some time watching over him in his Pack 'N Play.


Dana's been putting her glider to good use. In fact she's in the nursery napping on it right now. She spent too much time fussing around the house and has worn herself out. I've got her on 'nusery arrest' now. Here they are...(notice all the rain on the window in the background).


Brendan is doing well. He had a good visit with his Grandma Leslie yesterday. His weight has started to go up again. He's back to 8 lb 1 oz. He'd dropped to under 8 lb, but they weren't really worried because he was a pretty big baby and had some reserves. But they are happy he's putting weight on now. Dana's done a good job feeding him. His bilirubin levels are still a little high, but not in the jaundice range. We go in tomorrow for a check up. The rash on his face is essentially gone...as evidenced by this picture..which is one of my favorites, so far.
