Day 23:
Finally! I'm home, Son! I have nothing to do for the next 10 days but spend time with you and watch you grow... Today wrapped up my final day at work for the next 6 business days... Been waiting for this since December 14th, Son.
I continue to be marveled by you, Conor. I'm watching you grow right before my eyes. Each day I notice the subtle differences. Your eyes are so expressive, your chin has filled out, and you're getting stronger every day... Your Mom and I have increased your feeding volume by 5 MLs a day for three days straight. Almost 2 ounces per feeding! It's funny to think that in a few short months you'll be eating solid foods, but today we're excited over a couple of milliliters of breast milk...
Your Aunt Jennifer came by to visit you today. She fed you a bottle and could hardly put you down, Son... Seems the Lion Heart has that effect on people! She thinks you look like your Daddy. I still don't see it... Time will tell, Son.
Tomorrow we have you back at the Pediatrician for another exam, then blood work at Fair Oaks Hospital to follow, then pictures in the afternoon... Surely a more interesting day! But, at least your Mom snapped off some great pictures of you smiling for the camera!
I love you, Boy.
Daddy
