A Peanut and a Brazilian Nut
Nick weighing in at approximately 8lbs and Ben weighing in at 29lbs. Quite a bit of a size difference.
A Little Banana / Oompa Loompa
Nick has jaundice, like Ben did. Nick's did not become apparent until Monday, though, when I noticed his skin was very colorful and then got him to open his eye only to see that the whites were yellow. We took him to the doctor and got blood work done. He doesn't nee the phototherepy like Ben got in the hospital when he was born, just to eat as much as possible so he can 'poop it out' basically. Hopefully it will be all cleared out in a few days. In the meantime, Nick is sporting quite the tan, which is more prominent in flash pictures and when held next to Ben who could use a little sun

Bath Time!
Nick's first bath - he was rather traumatized and screamed the entire time. But at least it kept him awake!
Mardi Gras Snowman
Ben and Grandma are making good use of the last of the snow. They actually had to make 2 snowmen today because the first one melted before I could take a picture of it.

Say Cheese!
Nick got Ben a camera as a present for coming home. We thought that Ben might like it if he got a present and with a camera he can take pictures of Nick, too. Right now he just likes pressing buttons. But he definitely is my son - he took about 100 pictures in 20 minutes. And like me, there were about 3 good ones out of that 100.
Baby Nick at Home
(we think the garbage thing had to do with the picture Ben had made for Nick right before we got home. He had just put the sticker paper in the garbage before we got there)
Time To Go Home
We got the all clear to head home Saturday afternoon. Nick got a clean bill of health from the doctor and we were on our way. Nick actually woke up to get dressed and get in his car seat and then he fell back asleep. We are having some sleepy baby issues and need to figure out day vs. night...

He's Awake!
It took almost 24 hours, but Nick finally woke up for more than 30 minutes to eat! We'll get more awake pictures tomorrow, but here are some with his eyes open.
Big Brother
Ben got to meet his little brother and Nick got to meet his big brother this afternoon. Nick woke up for a little bit to say hi. Ben was actually very good. He was very excited to meet 'Baby Nick'. He brought Nick a little teddy bear and was very concerned about his binkie and blankies. Ben learned that we only touch babies on the feet and we pat them very, very gently. Overall, he was really good with Nick but there was also a lot of other distractions so Nick wasn't that big of a deal. We'll see how it goes for the first meeting on home turf tomorrow afternoon (and throw Monster into the mix)!
