We are finally home from the hospital. It seems like we were there for such a long time. Any of you who had to stay more than two days after having a baby are probably grumbling at me right now. We did make it out of there pretty quick. Our doctor gave us the go ahead to leave a few hours before the mandatory 48 hour mark. He told us to have a final dinner, on the house (hospital), and then get home.
We made it home around 7:00 pm and it was sure a nice feeling. My mom brought Jack over about fifteen minutes later. Jack instantly noticed Luke as they came in the door. His look of great curiousity showed on his face and he pointed in Luke's direction. As soon as Bonnie put him down he bee-lined for Melissa, who was holding Luke. He pointed at Luke and looked up at me, almost demanding an explanation.
He then started to show his affection by placing his hand on Luke's face a bit more roughly than we would have liked. Melissa quickly showed him how to be gentle and soft with his new little brother.
Jack soon became side-tracked with toys, food, and other toddler wonders. Melissa's parents, brother Rodney, and Grandma Carma Boudrero arrived soon after. Luke was passed around and enjoyed by all, especially Rodney who poked fun at Luke's scrawny appearance.
