Getting Used to the World

Mr Jacob has been doing pretty well all considering thus far.  Since his arrival, he spent a couple of days in the NICU where we had the chance to give him his first feeding and change a poopy diaper (no pics of that).

First Feeding

Mommy also got a chance to hold him for the second time while feeding!  All the grandparents have gotten a chance to visit at least once, and super-mommy has been discharged as well.  His brother was jumping for joy when Mommy came back (that and the fact that he has a little brother!).

Jumping for Joy!

Angie is also making plenty of milk for Jacob so he can be big and strong and ready for his surgery.  At this point, they are saying surgery will be Monday or probably Tuesday, but we'll know for sure Sunday morning.  Yesterday afternoon (when Angie was discharged), Jacob was moved to CVICU (Cardiac ICU) in the Children's Hospital.  This is just normal protocol prior to surgery so the nurses and us (the parents) can get acclimated to everything and each other.  It is nice b/c Jacob now has his own large room.

One thing I haven't had the chance to mention is that the staff here throughout the hospital have been awesome.  There are a lot of knowledgeable, energetic people here and everyone has taken great care of both Angie and Jacob.  When Jacob was being delivered, there was something like 8 people in the room (other than Angie and I) and they all worked together well and

We are all getting settled back down in the Ronald McDonald House now that Angie is out of the hospital and sharing our time between Ethan and Jacob (which is quite a challenge).

I am a Miracle!

Thank you to everyone for your support and prayers, we are doing our best to stay positive and definitely appreciate it all!  We will continue to keep you updated.  Keep Jacob in your thoughts especially as next week rolls around.  We will have some tough times ahead, but with the Lord's help, Jacob will come out on top!
