Liam - Day 3

January 20, 2010

Liam's bilirubin levels were increasing so they are treating him with phototherapy. He has to stay under the lamp and sleep on a blanket that makes him look like a glow worm wearing sunglasses until his levels start going down.

Liam - Day 2

January 19, 2010

Liam had to go back on his CPAP machine to help him to remember to breathe because he was having multiple apnea episodes. Chet thinks he looks like a little SCUBA diver with all his gear on. Here he is getting is first diaper change by dad in the NICU. We also got to hold him for about half an hour.

Gabriel's 1st Birthday

January 18, 2010

Happy 1st Birthday Gabriel!

Since Liam was born on Gabriel's birthday we didn't get a chance to take him out for the day as we had planned so our friend, Catie, who came to take care of Gabriel brought him to the hospital for a quick visit. He wasn't allowed anywhere except for the lobby & cafeteria so I got a ride downstairs and had a slice of cake with Gabriel, Chet, and Catie. We sang happy birthday and let Gabriel dig into his first piece of cake. It wasn't exactly what we had in mind for his first birthday but under the circumstances it was as good as we could manage.

Callie is the best dog. She allows Gabriel to "torture" her. Sometimes he's gentle with her.

Having so much fun with daddy at the game!

Actually he's flirting with the little girl who sat behind us.
