Precious Baby

How precious is this! Fourth day of life and sucking his thumb. What a special week it has been. Everyone is tired though and hopefully next week will be a calm and quiet week at Dana and Nathan's house. They needed lots of help last week, which meant lots of folks in their house. William was home all week and we had a Bris to plan for Friday. I stayed at their house until yesterday, Nathan stayed home from work all week to hang out with William and help him adjust to Jay, and Billy, Jill and Clark were a tremendous help. Speaking of Jill, she has to be the most wonderful sister in the world. She and Clark stayed with William while Dana was in the hospital and have been so very helpful. Besides taking care of William, they cooked, kept the house neat and clean, and were "on call" all week. Billy helped out with William, cooked dinner a couple of nights and ran lots of errands for the Bris.
Friday was a wonderful and special day and was attended by 70 close family members and friends. Dana looked beautiful and felt great until..... it was all over. She developed a fever and was having chills and flu-like symptoms. So we put her in bed, called the Doctor, got her started on some meds, and in 24 hours she felt much better. Thank goodness this didn't happen on Thursday.
William goes back to school tomorrow, Nathan goes back to work, and their life as a family of four will officially begin. Hopefully, Jay will be as sweet and calm as he has been so far. Today is the first day I haven't seen him, and I already miss him. I can't wait to see him tomorrow!
