Welcome Home

Dearest Joshua David~

Welcome home sweet thing!! Today daddy and I got to take you home! :-) You were born on October 16th and we took you home on December 15th. You are 8 weeks and 4 days old. And, you're 5 lbs 5 ozs. :-)

Daddy and I picked you up this morning, and had you home in time for your next feeding. You were so cute in your car seat! We brought cookies in for the nurses for all their help with you. They appreciated it. There was even a message on your message board that said you would be missed.

You're still on an iron multivitamin. We have to give you 0.5 ml once a day. I'll continue to put it in your milk so that you don't notice it. ;-) Oh, and you didn't need any fortifier in your milk. You're just on mommy's milk with nothing added. :-)

You have a pediatrician appointment on thursday morning. And, the hospital already made an appointment for your follow up check with the eye doctor on the 31st. Plus, they made an appointment for you in January with the child development team. Busy busy! ;-)

We can't believe this day has come! It's so good to have you here with us. And, your Uncle Brennan and Aunt Katie got to meet you for the first time!

Sleep tight little fellow! We're so blessed to have you in our lives!

I love you more than words can express! :-)

~Mommy
