Jack Day 3

My little boy is very particular when it comes to sleeping. He HAS to have his little hand fanned out on his cheek like that. OR he has it in a fist up against his cheek. If you move it he puts it right back. So yesterday, and Joe could explain this better than me, because he is not eating, doctor's orders, they started him on TPN. Which is food through the vein. They ruled out that he has a bacterial infection and discontinued his anti-biotics. They are 99% sure he has a virus. So we are still waiting on lab work to find out which one. He gets an MRI/MRA of that spot on his brain Monday afternoon and that should help them figure out what virus it is.
Joe and I went back last night around 9 pm and he was getting his diaper changed and he was awake and looking around. Joe and I got to hold him and play with him. I can't wait to bring him home bacause this little guy is going to breast-feed VERY well. He's only 3 days old and has mastered the binki and opens his mouth REAL wide when you give it to him. He just goes to town on it. He sounds like Maggie Simpson on the Simpson's. Pretty funny!
Oh ya, and in that first picture he has a faux-hawk. He's got such cute hair. He's gonna need a hair cut in a few months!!!

Megan and Joe,
He is SO cute! I don't often say that about newborns, but seriously! He looks a lot like Megan, I think. Also, he's huge! Poor little Maggie! Anyway, we are thinking about you guys all the time...congratulations!
