Back to the real world...

Since our little trip to TCH, being who we are we haven't slowed down any. Curtis seems pretty content to tag along, as long as Mommy is close by :)

He's made a trip to Wharton for his first wedding (Congratulations Luke & Jenna!!). Mommy was in the wedding party, and Daddy held him while he slept like a champ through the whole wedding. He's a little charmer, and everyone was melting over him. What can I say he takes after his dad....right....

Jacob started work on Monday, so we're all trying to get back in the swing of things. Of course Jillian is staying home with Curtis, and their havin' a blast together.

Last night Curtis had his very first real bath, since the remnants of the umbilical cord fell off on Sunday afternoon. He wasn't so sure about it at first, but he started to like it after he figured out it wasn't one of those evil sponge baths he used to have to get.

P.S. Check out that belly...he loves his Mommy :)

Our billi baby...

So, we're not too good at posting new and exciting events, but we certainly have had our share since the last post.

Within about a day of bringing Curtis home from the hospital we found out he had jaundice (yeah, we know...typical..), but his billirubin levels were high enough that he needed to be admitted to Texas Children's Hospital overnight. Nothing freaks out first time parents of about 3 days (no matter how minor) like a trip to the hospital. He got to fake 'n bake in a little incubator under a billi light to lower the levels. Fortunately, as you can hopefully tell from his pictures (see "Counts Family Pictures" link on right side of pag) he kicked it pretty quickly, and we were back out of the hospital within about 18 hours.

He sure knows how to show those nurses and doctors. Nurses thought he'd be there for 2-3 days, and the residents said probably at least 24 hours. You showed them, didn't you, son.

P.S. Texas Children's and Ronald McDonald house (resident in the NICU at TCH) are frikkin' awesome.
