First I want to say a big PHEW! Am I glad things have settled down. In case you haven't been paying attention, I was born on Monday. I say it like Daddy took out the trash. It was slightly more complicated than that but I know most of you know it because Daddy did his best to keep everyone informed. Today has been the best day yet of my life.
First and most importantly, Mommy's milk finally came in. Mommy and Daddy did a little dance in the floor. Actually Daddy did a dance and Mommy gave him a weird look like he had lost his mind or something. Mommy told me I need to get used to that look because she makes it a lot. Anyways, my belly is full so I have finally been able to get some rest. In the beginning it was hard because so many people kept holding me and sharing their love. It was really nice to know you are loved by so many people. Since I've been home though I've just been hungry. They kept putting this syringe in my mouth and shootin this stuff in but there's nothing like a belly full of milk. I took at least 3 naps today of 2 hours. The best thing is they keep waking me up and giving me more. It's like I won the lottery or something. I'm hoping I finally can get some sleep tonight since I've kept everyone up the past few nights. I kind of felt bad about it, but Daddy told me it makes a good story he can tell when I become a Daddy.
I didn't know I was coming into such a big family. Apparently I've got 3 siblings of the canine variety. The big dark one they call Bogey; he and I aren't sure about each other yet. I can tell he wants to sniff me but he seems kind of scared. The light colored one , Vader, kind of scares me because he isn't scared of me at all. He just wants to lick me and see what I'm doing. Then there is my shadow. Momma calls her Callie but Daddy calls her Chocolate Mama. She follows me around wherever I go, and when I cry she whines with me to make me feel better. I think they are starting to realize I'm not going away because tonight Daddy put me in my swing on the floor and left me there with the doggies and they just left me alone. Daddy called it 'acceptance,' whatever that means.
Mommy is doing a lot better today. She went to the doctor this morning and had her staples taken out. She is walking a lot more like everyone else now. When I first met her she walked kind of funny and slow, but now she's moving much faster. She's getting up and down a lot better to. Daddy called her a trooper, but I don't think she works for the police department or anything.
I got new clothes today also!!! Apparently I was a lot smaller than Mommy and Daddy had anticipated. Daddy said the baby pool was wrecked. They have a lot of clothes for me but everything just fell off. They went today and got some premie clothes. Daddy said I was the first premie that was late in the history of the world. Somehow I think he's overstating things a bit. At least they finally have me in some cute clothes. My self image was beginning to suffer.
I really want to thank everyone whose came to visit, called Momma and Daddy, visited this site, or just sent their prayers my way. I didn't know it was possible for so many to love a person they'd never met, but it has been overwhelming how you've all came to my side. Thanks for being there for Momma too since she's had a rough few days getting me here. She worked real hard to keep me healthy while she was growin me and she did her best to keep me calm and relaxed while they were trying to bring me into the world. I really love having her for my Momma. I think God did a good job of pickin when he picked her.
I can't wait to meet you all!!!
Love,
Noah
