Dominic Joseph’s First Day


It was a great day in our family today. We had our first full day as a family of four. Already we can feel the additional responsibility of having another kid. And already we feel the added joy that comes with it.

Dominic’s a good looking, healthy boy and we’re thrilled to welcome him to our family.

It has been wonderful having Grandma Snow here to care for and be with Eliana. She has needed it. Tonight we got home a bit late and Ellie had just had enough…it was emotional breakdown time. Luckily she was willing to settle for me getting her ready for bed instead of her mom.

I’m home long enough to see that everything’s taken care of here, upload some photos and post this blog, then I’m headed back to the hospital to be with Vickey and Dominic tonight.

One of her physicians visited with us this afternoon and said he’s planning to keep us there until Sunday.

Vickey was able to eat solid foods for lunch and dinner and even got a nice hot shower tonight. She’s doing great! We’re all so proud of her.

Thanks to the great family members and friends who have called or dropped by to check-in on us.

Congratulations to Ellie as she becomes the best sister in the whole world. Being a sister isn't easy, I know. I will be willing to help give Ellie lessons on how to keep a brother in line if necessary. Welcome, Dominic Joseph, to our family. Pictures are great.
