Wow, I am able to sneak in a few moments...Theo is sleeping.
Okay, first thing, I would like to say thanks to all of you with your warm welcome and wishes! I love Bob's name, it was too funny! Lesley and Trish, thanks a whole lot for your great cookies and the change pad. Really thoughtful of you! Shirnette, thanks for the card! All you Facebook folks, thanks for the wall notes!
Yes! The dreaded labour is done and over with! My stitches are still sore but it's all good! My belly feels a little funny, very very empty...very used...ah well, c'est la vie...I'll just have to run it off!
Well, the first week was a little rough. I was in the hospital for three days. Thought all was good and dandy but the day after getting home, Theo was once again admitted back as he had developed jaundice! Ah, it was so painful to watch him in that incubator with the lights...He also lost more than 10% (7lbs 1 ounce) of his birth weight because unknowingly my milk hadn't come in yet and I refused to give him formula. I thought oh man, I couldn't even provide him with food! What a bad mom! Anyway, the hospital really really encouraged breastfeeding so they helped me get some supplements and there was a lot of support from everyone. Finally, my milk arrived a week after! Theo is now back to normal weight (7 lbs, 10 ounces) and gaining, thank goodness!
Wow, he's still sleeping! Ry's really trying hard not to wake him, I know it. He doesn't realize how hard it is to put Theo back to sleep!
Jules, I miss you girl! So much celebrity gossip to tell you...though I am behind on my tabloids! Funny, I can't think of one right now...baby brain I guess!
Kristy and Jon, congrats! Way to go with the cruise idea! Hope your clinic is doing well!
Bob, thanks for your concern regarding my mat leave. They finally were able to straighten it out. It was frustrating at first but it's all good now! ;)
Jim, I hope you enjoyed your vacation!
I'll post some picts now before I forget! Missing you ALL, really. And the birthday cake ;)
XOXOXO,
Nette

I knew Theo would be a beautiful baby, but I didn't know how beautiful. Ryan looks like a very proud father. I'm sorry Theo was sick.
You are missed at work. Christine has your six year pin (has it been six years?).
We are having a departmental potluck on Wednesday. I don't know what I'm making yet. I cannot find Ontario plums yet... Oh my how difficult is my life?
Take care.
Lesley
