Life With 2 Little Guys...Week 1

Our first week home with Cole has been an adventure, but a good adventure. We brought him home last Saturday night and had the evening to settle in before Blake came home on Sunday. We found out Sunday afternoon that his bilirubin was a little high, so they had a bili blanket delivered to the house late Sunday evening. Here's a picture of our glowing little guy. The jaundice makes him sleep a lot, so while of course we want everything to be okay and for him to be healthy, it is helping make the transition from a family of three to a family of four a little easier.
Cole's first bath...obviously he hated it, but he hates to be undressed and cold. Now that his umbilical cord has fallen off, we can submerge him in the water which we're hoping will make things easier.
Blake has been such a great big brother and quite the little helper...sometimes a little too much of a helper!
Blake loves to hold Cole and give him kisses. He gets right in his face and says "Hi buddy!" It's the cutest thing....although I'm not sure Cole likes it all that much. Blake really has surpassed our expectations with his behavior so far. He has his moments, but those are to be expected with a two year old.
Before Blake was born, I heard a great idea to take your baby's picture with the same object every month so you can see how big he is getting. I forgot to do it with Blake, so hopefully I'll remember with Cole! Here's the newborn picture...

Cole Christopher Brennan

Cole is here! I went into labor Thursday night around 8:00, and he was born on Friday November 7 at 4:34a.m. He weighed in at 8lb 3oz and was 21in long. He's got blonde/red hair and is beautiful of course! We are in love with him already! Here he is weighing in.
