Eye on Ian

Ian is going on one day old, and his first 24-hour period outside the womb has been a busy one! His health continues to look good, he passed his hearing screening, he had a visit from Fr. Thomas for a special blessing, and spent time with his grandma. After a very alert night, he has spent a lot of the second half of his first day sleeping. Mommy and Daddy only wish they could have done the same! Mommy is doing well, aside from a very sore back and medicine that makes her very drowsy, and Daddy is getting to be a diaper-changing and baby cuddling pro. Here are a few moments from Ian's first full day.

He's very pretty. A lot of newborns aren't.

Congratualtions again.

OK, So someone read my last comment. :D
I spent time and effort trying to get Maria and Rachel into the local community college and missed the whole show!! Ian is certainly an at-term size and cute to boot.

I keep looking at the pictures over and over again. He's so precious! I really look forward to seeing him in person!

Thanks for the instant baby album! He's gorgeous, as expected.

In my day, we didn't have online photos. We had to wait three weeks for the film to be developed. And that's the way it was and we liked it!

Again, beautiful boy (I might be prejudiced). Answer to many prayers.

In case anyone doubts this boy is a miracle, see the post By Divine Appointment from last October.

What a sweet boy!

Will that "baby ticker" disappear tomorrow, or do you have to turn it off?

Did the induction go as planned?

When are Ian and Nikki coming home?
