THINGS WE'VE LEARNED ABOUT JONAH'S PARENTS SINCE HE'S BEEN HOME:

1. Living WITHOUT roommates = awesome! We would set the alarm so we could get Isaac going and a bottle in his mouth BEFORE he was crying in the middle of the night to avoid waking up the roommates. Lots of freedom now for Jonah to be all he can be!

2. Jonah's eyes look like mine & Isaac's look like Cindy's... at least that's what we are saying now

3. 100% LESS scary the second preemie! We are trying to figure out what we spent all of our time worrying and fretting over Isaac when he came home. Jonah's great... he pretty much just sleeps in the pack-n-play, the bouncy seat, our arms, etc.

4. No Monitor = the best thing ever!!! no longer do we have to drag that thing by our toes into the bedroom to change him, or up the stairs to go to the kitchen... it's so great to have this kid free of everything!

5. Say good-bye to sleeping through the night! We barely knew thee...

6. Mixing bottles is much easier than mashing up bananas, meatloaf and other "big boy" foods

7. Jonah is SMALL!!! I mean, holy cow, he's SMALL!! He was .1 lbs smaller than Isaac - we can't believe he was that small!

8. Who's going to the hospital when, today? oh wait, NO ONE!

9. Jonah eats - A LOT - He downs 2 ounces in about 5 minutes all the time - Isaac was working on about an ounce and a half and it took about 20-30 minutes... sometimes Jonah even needs 3 ounces to top him off!


So that's what we have from the first 24 hours or so - here are some pictures:

All Swaddled up!
