day 3 of this amazing adventure.

mitchell is doing really well. already latching, passed the hearing test, peed on dad, and is going all the things a little fella should do, including crying to let us know he’s hungry/angry/lonely/bored. the trick is figuring out which one is which, but we’re learning and, being my boy, he’s (not really) patient. kerri is doing an amazing job, and i’m really lucky to have such a natural mother as my wife, otherwise i would be more lost than i already feel! the hospital, doctors, nurse, and other staff are all amazing, and the whole experience (even with all the scary stuff going on in hospitals with the flu and everything) has been so supportive that it’s allowed us to work our way in to this life transition. i can’t wait to go home so that our friends and family can spend some time with him (as long as they all have their flu shots!) and to dress him up in his halloween outfits (all 10 of them…that’s mom, not me). pictures for sure to follow!

this is right before we got scolded for violating the 2 visitor rule in the hospital. the 6 people on the left were all waiting to see him (and that wasn’t even everyone that was there)…
