Hospital:Day 2

We thought everyone might enjoy an update on how things are going here at the hospital. Mom, dad, and baby are all doing great! We've been enjoying the professional help of the incredible nurses and lactation consultant here at the hospital which allows us to sleep as well as figure out how to take care of this little guy in the best way possible. They really are a wealth of information.

We've been enjoying visits from friends as well as phone calls, flowers and food from co-workers and family. Your thoughts and well wishes are truly appreciated right now. This has been such a sweet and pleasant experience and its touching to know we are in the thoughts of so many people.

Richard, Dwayne, Jeff and Julie came to meet Gus on day 2. We were ready to show him off and although he mostly slept, I am sure he enjoyed meeting his neighborhood family. Just wait until he gets to meet Harrison who has been practicing saying "Gus" for a little while now and has it down pat!

Good daddy. Aaron is giving Gus a pep talk before a diaper change.
