Paul is finally home…

We’re so happy that Paul is finally home today after a short but painful (for us) stint in the hospital NICU.

I think being in the NICU does something to their tolerance for pain and discomfort because as soon as they get disconnected from all the tubes and wires they just sleep and sleep and sleep like they are in a total happy land. Joseph was the same way and he will get deathly ill before he complains about anything. One time his school nurse called saying he wasn’t feeling well — they knew he was sick because he was complaining and they had NEVER heard him complain before. Back to Paul…

It’s so funny to watch him every time he feeds because he acts like he’s drunk and is out like a light in no time.

He’s back up to birth weight now (about 5 1/2 lbs) so he’s still a tiny guy. Just like Joseph, he looks like a little old man with all his wrinkly preemie skin.

Ben Vigil, speechless

    Picture 3, “The furrowed brow” slays me. I love it. I look forward to meeting the little one, but will wait until my crew is 110% healthy.
    Still, he is delicious and looks sooooo snugly and content, I want to order mine to be like that.

    I think you should put a caption that reads, “Don’t hate me because I am beautiful at 2 weeks postpartum!” I love the pictures! We miss you all here in Orlando…
