Henri at Home



Henri is obviously not worried about anything going on around him.



Daddy is sleepy, Henri loves this position.



This was Carson's first encounter with Henri and Carson was honestly afraid of him...quite apprehensive.



Two happy parents leaving the NICU for the last time with a perfect little (very little) boy. We had no idea what we were getting into in this photo obviously!!

So it has been quite a while since we updated, excuse the time lapse. We are currently immersed in the every 2 hour fog of caring for a preemie at home....and it's going great. Henri is handling everything much better than both mom and dad. He seems to just do his thing and it works great for him. There has been immense progress on his nursery, and we are currently just waiting for his crib to arrive! Pictures and a blog entry to come soon on that. In the meantime, it should be said that Henri had another trip to the pediatrician yesterday. He weighed in at a whopping four pounds fourteen ounces. The amazing thing about that...he has gained an entire pound by his three week birthday!! He is really a champ. Henri is really not a fussy baby and seems to know exactly what he wants..now if mom and dad can just work on picking up the ques as soon as he gives them to us we will all settle in a bit more comfortably. All in all we are amazed at Henri's continued progress at home and look forward to a less rigid routine with him as he grows bigger.
