Day 2-3: Recovery

Simon has been a sweet little child here at the hospital. All of the nurses here have been so great with us here. They've especially been kind to help us change the diapers; if we suspect a dirty one, we push the button and they'll come in to change. (We just have to take advantage of this while we can...) Simon's cries are not really harsh, just very much a mild protest; when the nursery brings Simon back for feedings, (another plus, free babysitting) we can recognize his mild cries as they come toward us down the hallway.

Simon of course has had quite a few visitors:

- Grandma and Grandpa Robinson have been by daily to see how his faces changes. Cari had to go back to Phoenix to see after her little ones too. Unfortunately, every time she tried to hold Simon he had to be fed, so all he did was cry for her. :(














- Uncle Cary, and Grandma and Grandpa Ning were having their chance to see him too. Simon is the first grandchild on the Ning side. As you can see, they're all very excited to see him.














- We had other visitors as well. Michelle Parker brought Abigail (twice) and Zach to see Simon. Zach especially liked his visit because he got a Peek-a-Pooh keychain from our nurse Kim. (apparently they're all the rage). Unfortunately, no pictures yet of Michelle with Simon. Becca and Jared Peterson came by to say hello as well. Jared has an aversion to holding newborns, especially while at the hospital. We did get a picture of a very happy Becca holding Simon.

We took some additional shots of the boy...we hope you enjoy them. I'll try not to burden this site of too many pictures that all look the same. We tried to get some pictures at different angles, and poses. Once again, we'd love to have visits. We leave the hospital Monday morning. Please, just call ahead of time to see which time is best.
