Lauren is well on her way to recovery from her surgery and every report has been A+. All of her I.V., tubes and peripheral equipment is gone and she is fully medicated for pain. Her commentary and interaction with the new baby while doped up are priceless. I promised her that I would not post any of it to the blog. all that I will say is that there is a reason she doesn't drink at parties.
The OB/Midwife from her practice came by for a checkup this morning and it sounds like she could be released from the hospital as early as Saturday or as late as Sunday. It is a great and helpful hospital at Northside full of activity and checkups, but it leaves little time for restful sleep. We will be glad to be home.
Dick and Jan left about an hour ago to drive back to Ohio. We miss them already. They were such a huge help with Oskar over the past few days and in preparation of the nursery and house. I don't know what we would have done without them.
Lauren's mom arrives this afternoon for a 2 week stay. I can't wait for her to meet 'Gus' and see Oskar. He loves his BG!!
Atticus went to the nursery about 30 minutes ago for his circumcision, or as our former OB from Oskar's delivery called it, 'Weenie Whacking'. He should be back any minute for some more sleeping, eating and pooping and will be a little less of the little man that he was yesterday.
Oskar visited again this morning with his Nanny. He is so attentive and empathetic to his little brother's cries. All he wants to do is hold him and tell him 'is O.K. baby' (smooch). I get so proud of him when he does this I well up. I saw Papa Dick getting misty too.
I'm including a photo from yesterday afternoon until we can get a chance to have a portrait sitting with him and Mommy.
Love and kisses to you all.
