A few more

Here are a few more pictures that I didn't want to wait on uploading yesterday. I love the picture of Daniel with Isaiah laying on his chest. I think it is so fun that Daniel has another guy around.


These are from when we were getting ready to leave the hospital. The entire time at the hospital we had him wrapped up like it was 20 degrees. I think none of us are really used to the air conditioning. Anyway, I knew we were going home to a much warmer environment, so I was very excited to put on this cute little outfit. My mom sent it over during Christmas and it is one of my favorites, so I couldn't resist putting it on for our trip home.


Its been so fun to be home and show off the little guy to everyone. Last night I asked a couple people to come over and help me so that Daniel could go play basketball and while they were here we got to looking through some old pictures of when JoAnn was a baby. I knew they looked a lot alike, but when I actually got out the pictures I could barely believe it. Here are a few that I think really show how much they look alike.



Other than that things are slowly getting easier. I still have to rely on others a ton, but I'm starting to figure out how to move without using my stomach muscles so hopefully that will just continue to make things easier. One thing I haven't mentioned yet is that I had an awful reaction to the morphine they gave me while I was in surgery. I knew from having JoAnn that I don't react well to it. It really makes my eczema go crazy for a few days, but the doctor insisted that it really is the best way to control the pain so we settled on him giving me steroids during and after the surgery to help control the reaction. It helped, but my face took most of the blow and was bright red and incredibly itchy. That's why I have a red face in most of the pictures after having him. Anyway, it's taking a long time, but that also seems to be getting better. So, it is a much slower process than last time, but things are starting to feel more like normal.
