Sam was born at 7:21am on Jan. 23rd via c section (due date 1/24). He weighed 8lb 11oz and was 20 inches long. He had to spend a brief time in the NICU because his oxygen level was subpar at 85% and he was breathing slightly fast. He was back with us 4 hours later and doing great. My recovery time in the hospital was manageable and I had some FANTASTIC nurses at Saint Vincent's. He had some trouble with increased bilirubin levels and weight loss but after a week at home he was back to normal and gaining weight nicely.
We've been home now for about 3.5 weeks. Sam is such a sweet baby. He spoiled us with a few nights of sleeping 6 hours at a time but now he's back to an every 4 hour eating/sleeping schedule. He's eating 5 ounces of milk/formula at a time! He has dark blue eyes and just a little bit of brown hair. He looks a lot like Mac did minus some hair and chunkiness :). And like Mac, he looks just like Patrick's baby picture.
