Nick Two Days Old

Nick and I got to go home from the hospital on Friday morning.  He was circumcised Friday morning and they wanted to watch him for a few hours before they let us go home.  They were also a bit concerned about his weight, because they thought that he'd lost 9% of his body weight.  Dr. Tom (our pediatrician) came to see him and said that he looked great and that the scale was probably wrong at birth.

Dave and the kids and grandma and grandpa went to Santa Fe Friday morning to do some Christmas shopping.  So, Nick and I hung out at the hospital until early afternoon when they came to pick us up.  Nick slept and I read and enjoyed the quiet.  

 Then we got to go home!

 Later that evening, Grandma and Grandpa took the kids to the ward Christmas party.  They got to sit on Santa's lap.  Ty very bravely told him that he wanted a garbage truck.

Nick One Day Old

Nick and I spent a very relaxing, quiet day in the hospital the day after he was born.  Dave and Ty and Grandma and Grandpa Judi spent a few hours with us.

Ty loved holding Nick!

 The nurses brought him to me that evening with this Christmas onesie and hat on. 

Kate and Marianne spent a few hours with me while Dave and the boys went to basketball practice.  Kate is such a great helper!

The dietary department (aka cafeteria) brought us this huge tray of goodies.  I'd heard rumors that if you have a baby at the hospital here at Christmas that they bring this to you.
