Free at Last
Seamus got to come home much earlier than anyone anticipated. We spent one night in the Special Care Nursery and then they sent us on our way. Check out his car seat - we had to go shopping for one that went as low as four pounds and he is still swallowed by it!
Gramma Sara made Seamus some beautiful crocheted hats that fit perfectly.
We had a pretty quiet weekend, just kind of trying to integrate the newest Slaughter into our household. Jack and Bobby are in love with their baby brother!
Bobby had his first solo playdate with his friend Max. He had a great time and it was so nice of Max's mom to come over here to pick up Bobby and give me a little break on our first day home. There is nothing like a newborn to make your other baby look like a big boy...
Seamus had his first bath at home today. We think he cleans up pretty good - what do you think?
We head to our pediatrician tomorrow for his first appointment. Hopefully we'll get a little more direction as far as how much we can get out with him. We know we'll have to be very vigilant, but hopefully we won't have to be shut ins for the winter.
We'll keep you posted...

I just read through your blog...so happy to hear that Seamus is home with you all! Congratulations on your new baby...you guys are amazing. Kerry and Mark -- you guys have been through a lot with bedrest, emergency C-section, NICU stay. Happy to read that you have such good friends and family nearby. Our thoughts are with you. Hugs and kisses.
It looks like he has red hair, just like his Aunt Loey :) I just showed Seamus' picture to one of my co-workers who is a "Mom & Baby" nurse. She said Seamus is "beautiful" and does not look at all like the typical preemie "frog babies" that she takes care of. Hope you all are staying dry. We're feeling the aftermath of Ike-obviously nothing like the devastation in TX.
Glad Seamus is doing so well. All the Slaughter boys are just adorable.
Seamus looks like he has a nice healthy complexion! I am so glad you guys could take him home already.
