Day 2 - Life is great

Here is Dad holding me up. He gets pretty excited to hold me, he's like a little kid in a toy store when he's around me.


Life is pretty good at this point. Plenty of food and lots of rest. I like this picture of Dad....nice double chin he's working on there...and his hairstyle isn't much different than mine.


Mom's got me here, she's a real sweetie. I kept trying to tell her she needs her rest, but she doesn't listen to me all that well. She is great though, helps me out when I'm hungry and then sends me to Dad when my pants feel warm!!

By the end of Day 2 my bilirubin was getting a little high, so they put me under these stupid lights. I kept swinging my arms & hands and hitting myself in the face, I'm not that good at controlling those things yet. So I didn't sleep that well. They put me on my belly but I don't like that all too much either. I've heard people actually pay money to go lay under lights similar to this, sounds a little goofy if you ask me!

8.22.2007 - Dylan becomes Dylan

I'm finally here! I was born at 2:10 am and it was quite a ride. My Mom & Dad are really proud of me though, they keep calling me a "cute stinker" and "little lover"....its kind of cheezy but they are cute, so I haven't said anything yet.

This is me hanging out with Dad about 5 minutes after I was born. They got to me via C-section and Mom is on the table there behind me, the doctors were taking care of her still...I sure appreciate her helping get me here, she's the best. Sorry about my big eyes, all the light kind of freaked me out a little bit.

I'm just getting cozy with Mom here, I'm about 12 hours old in this picture.
