We Passed the Test!

We're free!

Heading home

We're so glad you're here, Josiah.

Well, I must say that Saturday night was probably the worst slumber party I've ever been to. While we were pleased to finally be spending the night with Josiah, we had more company at this sleepover party than we would have liked. We know it was all in our son's best interest, but it made the illustrious first night with baby rather complicated.

Here's our report card for that first night:

• Billirubin levels decrease or stay the same PASSED
• Allow nurses to take vitals every time you want to do a feeding PASSED
• Keep Jonathan from hitting anything or anybody PASSED (barely)
• Having Josiah gain or maintain weight PASSED
• Patience level of both parents FAILED
  
• Measure every feeding, including required supplementation, and record every diaper COMPLETED
  
• Have Josiah monitored throughout the night CHEATED (a little)
• Get Josiah's circumcision PASSED (although Josiah tried to fight against the painful procedure by peeing on the doctor)
  

But he is home with us! No more complaining, we are simply rejoicing in all the fussiness and poopy diapers right now.
