Friday - July 21

We have a six pound baby! Allan weighs in at 6 pounds 1 ounce. Not bad for someone who only weighed 1 pound 9 when he got here. He had a pretty good night. He got a bath and is all slicked up with baby lotion so he smells great. We got to snuggle for about an hour. His oxygen is still a little high, but he is still getting rid of a fair amount of fluid. We hope that they'll be able to come down on it pretty soon.
Griffith is doing well with his recovery. He pooped last night while we were there (which brought a cheer from the nurses on night shift) and did it two more times through the night. Amazing what you can do when your intestine isn't all twisted. He has also been eating a little and seems to be enjoying that. Dad was able to hold him last night and I'm planning on getting my hands on him at lunch today.
