Wrigley's First Outing

Wrigley's first "outing" after coming home was on Valentine's Day.

Troy bought him jeans already and picked out his clothes.

His check up was good and he is gaining weight well...was almost 7lbs 5 oz.

Siblings

Audrey and Emersyn want to hold Wrigley ALL of the time!!!

They do pretty well with him most of the time.

I keep wondering how long this excitement will last!!!!

We were so happy to be finally going home today. The first week of his life seemed forever long!!!!

More pics of hospital stay and coming home

Wrigley pulled through these difficult days well. As you can see, he didn't like his first bath we gave him at the hospital the morning we were leaving.

We came home when he was 8 days old.

His grandma and grandpa Bradbury( my inlaws) were so glad to hold him. We couldn't have made it through the week if they hadn't stayed to take care of the girls.

His proud sister's love him very much and can't get enough of him. I have helpers every second that he is awake...which isn't enough for them right now!!!!!!

Feb 2nd, 2008....2 days old

Wrigley spent 1 night in the level II nursery and the next day was transferred to the NICU for respiratory problems. He spontaneously had developed a pneumothorax, they had to withdraw air from his lung twice, and he was intubated and on the ventilator for 48 hours.

He has on his stylin' shades under the phototherapy lights for an elevated bilirubin.
