Coleman's Home

Here are all of the pictures of the week. Brace yourself...there are a lot!

It was so hard not to be able to hold my baby for the first day, this was as close as I could get.

Things were scary for a while, I am glad I was so on drugs and out of it to know how bad it was. Here he is in his two different looks, the top is the ventilator tube down his throat and the bottom is the oxygen tubes in his nose.

Here is Justin in his surgery outfit. I think it is so funny!

Here is his third look and the one he had for most of his stay. This is his feeding tube he had down his nose. This one was so small and didn't seem uncomfortable to him at all. He had to have this in until he was nursing well enough to sustain him.

Justin's grandparents came to visit.

Jack and Lincoln taking a ride on my IV pole up to see baby brother in the NICU. Well they didn't get to go in, but they had a fun time playing in the family lounge while we visited.

These pictures are Justin and I holding Coleman for the first time. He was almost a day old.

Jack and Lincoln hanging out in my room. Every time they would come to visit Lincoln would say they were going to see mommies "NEW BED"

Coming Home

Grammy came to help while we were in the hospital.

Here is Coleman's little area in the NICU

Jordan and Kristine helped with the boys a ton. Kristine loved coming in to hold him.

I was rare to see this little guys eyes....still is

Jack was a little unsure at first. He was acting even a little scared of Coleman. Lincoln just yelled at the nurse carrying Coleman out to the car and told her to get out of the elevator.....He will take some convincing that having a little brother is a good thing.

Finally Kristine and I pretty much forced Jack to hold him and now he is obsessed with him.

We are home now and trying to still unpack and get life back to normal. I'm sure you will get sick of all the pictures to come of this cute little guy. We have an appt. tomorrow, he may have a bit of jaundice and I just got a call that his newborn screening THS (thyroid) results came back abnormal so we will keep you posted. He seems really healthy and is eating, sleeping and pooping really well so we've got this newborn thing down.
