The day after

 

We spent Saturday night and Sunday in the mother/child wing of the Walnut Creek Kaiser.

Lucas's first night went smoothly, with nursing help allowed me to sleep for a good stretch on the chair/bed.  He had no idea, but this was another big day for the little guy.

First thing in themorning he had to get a little minor surgery, done behind these blinds.  It went well.

We had a number of visitors, some repeat customers looking for Lucas snuggles (TM) and some first timers.  The snuggles were enjoyed by all.  We watched some football, napped and had photo sessions.  

One cool thing that the hospital does is a "Celebration meal" for both of parents, including some real bubbly!

After a checkup (no jaundice!) and a first glimpse of how long it will take to packup and get ready to go places, we made our decent out of the 'burbs towards home. 

Our neighbors Julie and Meredith made Lucas feel very welcome (and took care of Tank while we were away) - thanks guys!
