Coming Home

A little brotherly love time. Sam and Charlie couldn't get enough of holding and kissing Benjamin on our first days home.

2 days old and going home with an

official name:

Benjamin Francis Tripp

Benjamin has always been a favorite name of ours and Francis

is Chris' grandpa's name.

Meeting the other "babies" in the house.

We've had a couple busy but fun days with everyone home. We've been out for a couple of walks around the neighborhood. The boys are both "nursing" their stuffed animals and love to watch me nurse. Benjamin has slept a lot and has started to gain weight again after border line losing too much the last couple. He was also borderline jaundice so we've had a home health nurse check in on him the last two days. It's nice that he has turned the corner towards chubbiness that will overtake his little body in a few weeks. Sam and Charlie were both 20 pounds by 6 months so I'm guessing Ben will be the same way. His bilirubin is also with in normal numbers now as well.

Benjamin was actually awake a couple times today. It was fun for the boys to see him watching them and I think they felt like he was listening and understanding their conversations.

Thank you everyone for all or your well wishes.
