With this many dangerous power cords around, it’s pretty easy to tell that we don’t have a toddler around, getting into trouble.

Heading Home
After a surprisingly great stay at the hospital (thanks almost entirely to the non-stop-impressive staff), it was time to head home today. It was a bit hectic getting all of our stuff packed together, and lugged out to the car, but eventually we made it. James had no problems in the car seat (thanks CJ and Hope!) and slept through the entire bumpy ride home. Our short 5-minute drive started in rain, and ended in sunshine, surely a sign, right? At least a coincidence. It was good to be back at home. Frank (our dog) was very curious about the sounds that James was making – I don’t think that he’s quite figured out what is going on yet. Hopefully once we’ve had a few days to find a routine, all four of us will be able to relax a bit.
If you’re still coming back to the site after this many days, I’m guessing you’re here for the photos more than the words, so here is today’s installment:

Still Sleeping
This guy can sleep. Let’s hope that he keeps this up!

The Third Day
Hard to believe, but we’ve already moved onto our third day with James. A few speed bumps along the way, but that’s to be expected. He’s sleeping well, feeding well, and captivating people all around the world. At some point in the near future, we hope to be able to share a photo of James where he has his eyes open. For now, enjoy the latest set.

A Quiet Moment with James
James and I spent a few quiet moments in a rocking chair at the hospital. Note that the big yellow thing on his ankle is a security device to make sure that nobody walks off with our little guy.

Another Day with James
We’ve been doing very well with James so far. He’s a content little guy, and has been making life pretty easy on us so far. Here are a few photos of our last 24 hours with James.

Baby James!!!
It’s been a remarkable couple of days. At long last, we are proud to introduce you to James Frederick Flood.
If you’re interested in the stats, James was born on March 8th at 5:27pm. He weighed in at 6 pounds 8 ounces, and was 19 inches long. Michele was amazing, and Dr Parcon, the nurses and the rest of the crew were the best. They made the impossible possible.

At the hospital
Well this is progress. We arrived at the hospital at 2pm. Beautiful, warm, sunny March day.
Two and a half hours later, we’re still here, just waiting to meet our little miracle. Momma is doing well.
