2.5 weeks young

Here are a few pictures of John at two and a half weeks old. John really likes to be held and sleep on my tummy! I hope we aren't spoiling him.

5-days young

Here is a picture of John at 5-days old -- taken the day after we returned from the hospital. John came home with a few scratches on his face. We had to file down his nails pretty quickly. They've all since healed and he's looking less rough-and-tough now.

Home from the Hospital

John William is doing really well. He is sleeping/waking every 3-3 and a half hours. He's drinking about 50-60ml of pumped milk each feed. He isn't all that fussy either. We're settled back at home now and have a pretty nice schedule going. Julie is doing much better and is a lot more mobile than yesterday. Wow, it's a bit surreal to be doing anything every 3 hours. It's tiring!

Here's a little video of John taken at the hospital on Saturday,



We wanted to apologize to all of our friends who might not have heard much from us in the past couple of days. Julie was induced on Monday at 6:30am and then failed to progress with the delivery. She had a c-section on Tuesday and John William was born at 12:14pm. Bryan went home on Wednesday to pickup some extra clothes and found that our home had been broken into. He had to contend with that situation on Wednesday and Thursday. Thankfully we weren't home and we are all okay, including John. It seems that nothing was taken, although Bryan found the house in a bit of a mess. This past week has certainly been a long one for us. We are so happy to be at home with the baby.
