Lilly and Forrest

So we've been home since Sunday evening. Forrest has been doing great. He had jaundice issues, but they let us go home with a bili-blanket to continue the phototherapy at home. Our last visit to the doctor showed his jaundice is getting better so they let us stop the phototherapy this afternoon!!

Now that we've been home a few days, Lilly has started to pay more attention to little Forrest. She has been a great big sister. She hasn't acted jealous at all! She likes to pat his head and will grab his hands (we have to make sure she's gentle though!). She signs baby all the time too. I think they are gonna grow to be great buddies!

Chillin' in my glow worm bed. They want to get rid of my nice tan! Bah! Don't I look like my cool big sis :)

He's Here!

Forrest has finally arrived! He came one week early just like his big sis Lilly. We got to the hospital at 10pm last night after my water had broken shortly after 8pm. By 1:40am I had a Forrest in my lap! Quite a timely little man. 

He's a big boy weighing in at 7 pounds and 11 ounces and 20.5 inches long. He's eating and sleeping great so far and his pediatrician checkup went super.

The coolest thing about both of our kids now is that Lilly was born on 7-27 and Forrest on 3-23! We think it's pretty cool at least :) 

More pictures to come soon!

Forrest

I know everyone is wondering what the status on Forrest is. He's doing quite well. Until now he has been pretty darn comfortable living on the inside. But as off yesterday, he FINALLY dropped! (that means I can breath again, and his kicking doesn't hit me right under the ribs or gallbladder!) And finally starting to dilate (3cm now). Woo hoo. The doctor thinks it will be within the next week.
Both Eric and I are very excited to see and meet this new little pip squeek. And today in the doctors office, Lilly actually showed an interest in all the little 6 week old babies that came along with their moms. She was signing baby constantly and pointing to them. She kept trying to crawl to one of the car seats that had one in it. So hopefully that is a good sign for Lilly being ready for her new baby brother!!

And for Lilly- this was her afternoon:

Big kid?

What happened to my baby!? She is looking so grown up these days!!!
