Life is well in the Thomas home. Andrew has been sleeping very well, so well in fact that he requires quiet a production to wake up for feedings. We have to strip him down to his diaper and then rub a cold damp washcloth on his skin (would the UN agree to these conditions?). Once he is awake he does like to eat though, feedings are going pretty well. Justi is doing a great job, but the boy sometimes likes to play what we are calling “Reindeer Games” where he bounces his head around while trying to feed, or he latches on and then just looks at Justi and won’t suck. Once the games are over he eats his fill and it’s off to bed. His visit with the doctor yesterday went well, she said he looks good is very alert when awake, and already has some head control (a major feat bowling ball for a head). Her only concern was making sure he had plenty to eat, which we are working on. He weighted in at 8lbs, 8oz at the visit so he lost a few ounces since birth, which is normal. We are going back in tomorrow (Friday) for another weight check to make sure he is starting to put it back on. We also took the boy out for another outing yesterday to Buy Buy Baby (unbelievably we need more stuff) and a treat. As Thomas’s after a doctors appointment it is essential to have a milkshake or in our case Ice Cream and Starbucks. Since the boy is only allowed to have breast milk Debbie, Justi and I decided we would take care of the treat. Today I finally got the mobile of Sailboats and Submarines that Justi and I made hung in the nursery. It’s a little on the big side, but I like it. We gave the little boy his first bath this evening and all went well, we found his hair gets curly when it is wet (the videos reveal Justi and I have few words to say about the whole event as we keep repeating the same thing) . A bunch of pictures from all the events of the last couple of days are posted on Flickr and if Google cooperates we’ll have some videos up as well. You can see all the videos we post by searching Google Video for jordman.com , the pane to the left also has links to them. Also wanted to thank the Kat and Hector for a delicious Chicken & Cheese casserole last night. Justi’s Mom has also been a great help and we are so thankful for her being here this first week. Thanks to all of you for your prayers, God has been and continues to be very kind to us.
