Coming home with James

On wednesday afternoon James and I finally got to come home. It is nice to be in the comfort of my own home again. Since then James has been doing fantastically. He is the greatest nurser (unlike his brother) and I am producing enough milk for triplets (if you know anyone who needs a wet nurse let me know). He is also sleeping like a champ. He sleeps about 4+ hours at night. He is eating about every 3-4 hours in the day and when he wakes up at night. He is so sweet and there is such a peace in our home. Gabe came home for one night and then went to be with my mom for a few days. He has loved spending time with all his grandparents. It will be interesting to add him back in the mix tomorrow. I'm a little nervous knowing that I can't pick him up and do a lot of the things with him I was doing. He doesn't like that much and of course doesn't understand why. I feel bad, but I'm not supposed to lift anything greater then 10 lbs for six weeks so as to not reopen my incision. I guess that we will just have to make those adjustments and hope he becomes ok with it. Gabe loves James and wants to hold him constantly. He loves to point out his eyes, nose, ears, mouth, etc. as well as poke at them. I am also doing well. I feel good other than a small-moderate amt pain, fatigue, and a rash with bilsters on my incision (Allergic reaction to the steri-strips). I hope that these next few weeks pass quickly so that I can again fully resume being a normal person and mother.

Our Sweet Baby James!

James Joseph Lowe came to us on Sat. Sept 13, 2008 at 8:37am!
He weighed 6lbs 6oz and was 20 inches long. He is such a stud. We love him so much and are so excited to have him here. He and I (jessica) are still in the hospital and will be here for a couple more days. Here are some of his first photos.

Our Little Family!

38.6 weeks and less then 24 hours!

Our sweet baby boy will be here is in less than 24 hours! I really can't believe it. Time has gone by so fast, yet so slow at times. We are so excited (and scared) to welcome him into our lives. I took these pictures today to remember this little guy inside of me. Hopefully he will appreciate them someday.
