Julie & little man, post-glam haircut courtesy of Katie O'Boyle... and yes, she is *still* pregnant. :-)
Grandmere meets Koen for the first time. Because of H1N1 regulations at the hospital, new moms were permitted one support person during labor & delivery and one extra visitor during their recovery period, so Grandmere meet her new grandson for the first time once we got home.
Frankly, the whole H1N1 business has us a little freaked out & we haven't been traveling or visiting much with Koen. We were advised to limit visitors as much as possible until he's at least a month old... plus, Julie isn't traveling so well these days, as you might imagine.
His first car ride -- getting snuggled into his car seat for the first time... this picture was taken in the parking lot of the hospital.
Here's our little glow worm during his final few moments at the hospital. The glow you see is from his bili blanket that we used to treat his jaundice. His bilirubin levels were elevated when it was time to go home so he was placed on a photo-optic blanket over the next several days. Poor kid had to go for heel-stick blood tests every day for his first four days at home -- it was a bit exhausting for everyone! But he's fine and healthy and already past his birth weight...
