Baseball runs in the family, we'll just have to wait and see if he really grows into that hat! He sure is a cutie though. We drove down to Galveston for a day trip through lots of rain but had a good time eating and walking the seawall.
Tank is learning how to deal with Eli around. He needs to sniff him each morning to make sure we didn't trade him in for another one! (I've taken to calling him pokey nose) He's finally getting the hang of sharing our laps. We taught him not to stand up on the bassinet, so he doesn't put his feet on it, he just hovers on his two back legs until he loses his balance. Trolley still acts like a little protectice mommy and alerts us when he sneezes, cries, or moves. She even lays in front of his swing in case he falls out. They are good with him though, so no doggie worries.

Baby Daze
Hi, it's Julia's mom again (aka Grammy!). Julia realizes its been "daze" since the last post....but the title says it all! I offered to fill in again. Lots of new pictures posted below....a short chronicle of the last 5 days. What a wonderful time in all of our lives. Eli came home on Sunday. He is a healthy, happy, precious little boy. We are mesmerized by him. We study his facial expressions, marvel over his perfect hands, fingers, feet and toes, and kiss his soft little head as much as possible! Enjoy the pictures!
Hello Tank and Trolley!
Tank: "Is it a new toy? Does it have a squeaker? Does it roll? Can I play with it? Please? Please?"
Trolley: "Is it a new puppy? Does it need me? Can I help? Please? Please?"

It's me again. I have returned.
We are spending our second night in the hospital (thank goodness, I hate hospitals!), getting ready to go home. It will be so much fun to see how the dogs react to Eli tomorrow, and of course how Eli reacts to them! I'm sure there will be a whole slew of pictures for you all.
The three of us are doing fine, although momma and papa are sleep deprived, but still loving their son! Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers.
Will post again soon...

And now...
the real work begins! Eli is poised and ready, the doctor is there......just a matter of super human effort now! The next post should have a picture of the little guy and will be entitled YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!
"Epidural Nap"
Julia is currently taking a well deserved "epidural nap".....she is at 9 cm.....the doctor will be back in an hour (she has to go do a C-section !).......expect the last phase to begin then! Julia has been a champ.....in great pain and worrying about Jason.....and thinking about the dogs.....it is such a relief to now see her relaxed....thank heavens for the epidural! Will keep you posted.....
