\"May<\/a> <\/span>I’m a big brother now.  Adam was so excited Monday night when I told him he would get to meet his brother on Wednesday.  We had to go through the story so many times…”tonight we will go to bed and sleep, then tomorrow we will go to Emily’s house and sew.  Then we’ll come home for your nap and Mommy will clean up the house and make supper……………….” and so the tale spun.  He was fascinated.  “Mommy will it make a loud pop when the baby comes out of your tummy?”  Come to think of it, I did feel like an overinflated balloon, or maybe even a tractor tire.  <\/p>\n

\"May<\/a> <\/span>\"May<\/a> <\/span>24 hours old….let’s go home, little one.<\/p>\n

\"May<\/a> <\/span>Adam broke out in a bizarre rash Thursday morning at Mom’s house.  In spite of my fear of strange and dangerous childhood diseases I didn’t have the heart to tell him he couldn’t touch Liam.  His adoration is immeasurable.  “Mommy, I want to hold him.  Mommy, just put him here on the couch with me.  He looks so much like me.  Why does he, mommy?  He just likes to sleep all warm and toasty with me.  Mommy get me a book then I’ll read him a story.  But mommy, I’m not done holding the baby.”<\/p>\n

I had to take Liam to see the pediatrician this morning just to make sure he was really ok (part of my side of the agreement to get me out of the hospital in 24 hrs in spite of being strep positive).  I didn’t relish the idea of going to town on day two at all; but I would have ended up going anyway.  Adam was not only rash-coated, his knuckles were getting swollen.  Liam dropped 8 oz; but otherwise is doing fine.  Adam has a serious amoxicillen allergy and won’t be able to take anything in the penicillen family from here on out.  I don’t even want to think about all the ramifications of that right now.  I just keep saying, “thank God it’s not one of those wierd things that causes horrible complications in newborns.”<\/p>\n

\"May<\/a> <\/span>“Mommy, I can burp him.  Just put the diaper on my neck like you do.  Where does Daddy pat him?”  You’ve just got to love having a four-year-old!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\"May<\/a> <\/span>Two days old<\/p>\n

I can’t get over the miracle of you<\/font><\/p>\n
