Sorry Charlie
Quietly, Ted and I hoovered over Charlie as his nurse took out the last of his tubes and tape so we could go home when we heard her say..."Sorry Charlie." Our eyes all met at the same time and we busted out in laughter. In that moment we both realized the fate of this poor kid....
"Can I have another cookie"
-Sorry Charlie
"Can I stay up late"
-Sorry Charlie
"Can I take the car tonight"
-Sorry Charlie

Shortly after Charlie was born my nurse came in to check on me and noticed Charlie was having some trouble breathing and said she wanted to take him to do a quick "little" oxygen test. About an hour after that Ted and the nurse came back and informed me that he was going to be needing a slew of other things done and would need to stay in the NICU. I was pretty calm about everything until I went to visit him for the first time and saw him like this.....
It was the strangest thing having what I thought was a perfectly healthy baby leave my room only to see him an hour later with this machine hooked to him pumping air into his lungs. Of course my hormones were on an absolute rampage so that didn't help and the flood gates just wouldn't quit. Later that night the doctor gave us a lot of explanation on everything and that really helped. He assured us that Charlie just needed a little more time in the hospital and it was nothing life threatening or permanent.

I love baby FEET!
Max has actually been so sweet with the baby even though he seems a little bugged in this picture.

You make such cute boys! Deana and I were just saying how we are so jealous you look so dang good after giving birth! :) Congrats to you and your family!
He is so cute! I am glad you are home and everything is okay with Charlie. That is always so emotional and streesful to try and deal with something like that when you are exhaused, "sore", and overwhelmed with so many emotions that having a new baby brings.
Can't wait to hold him! Let me know if I can do anything to help you guys.
Wow Ted and Jen... Awesome. What an exciting time. Congrats.
Congratulations!!! He is adorable! Really! I'm so glad that everything was alright and he was able to come home soon. I can't wait to see him in person. Let me know if I can do anything.
Congratulations, Jen! How scary to see someone so tiny on such big machines, but I'm glad everything turned out ok. Enjoy that little one!
