Settling in

With everyone home the last few days, we've been finding our new rhythm. Sam is sleeping and eating well. Mabel remains excited to have him here and likes to hold him (with help). The dogs are pretty numb to the whole situation.

Sam is pretty disinterested in me until his after-dinner nap, spending the rest of the day with Kate. I've been busy with meals, cleaning the house, and entertaining M. Surprising how quick the work-week went and not looking forward to only having through next-Friday to be at home.

This afternoon's project with Mabel is plants. She likes watching stop-motion of plants growing and loves fruits/veggies, so we're going to setup a planter outside with some strawberry, kohlrabi, and mint. Tomatoes will be inside until Mother's Day, and a mango plant which will live inside. Will be fun to see if she likes it and if the plants do well.

Mabel meets Sam

The siblings have met and we are now home

Mabel came to the hospital with her nanny to meet Sam. Things went really well. Sam liked his moose from Mabel, and she liked her gifts from him. The favorite is a doll of Muno from Yo Gabba Gabba, who accompanied her to bed. She gave lots of kisses and practiced holding him. Lots of pictures, which I'll deal with after some sleep.

We were discharged around 5pm and greeted at home by a very excited Mabel and the dogs. Over the next week, I'm convinced Mabel will bring every toy in the house to visit Sam.
Sam is settling in and sleeping so far...we'll see how long that lasts.
Kate is feeling good and glad to be home.

Pics and video tomorrow. Going to try and find sleep.

Introducing Sam

It's a BIG boy!

Sam weighs 9 lb and is 22 inches long.

Everyone is doing great. Sam went right for some food and we're settling in. Mabel is excited to meet him tomorrow and give him a present she picked out.

It's a boy!
