This first picture should tell it all. We got Josiah and Sherry home on schedule today with everyone being given a free and clean discharge. The discharge was as if the level II thing never happened. Josiah has been nursing like a champ even though it was over 18 hours when he ate the first time. WhooHo!!! Praise God!!!
Riley and Caden were so excited to have us home. Caden was much more interested in Sherry and me than he was his little brother. Riley on the other hand wanted to help and love on his brother as much as possible. I will give a little description below each picture. You can click for a larger view.
Aunt Becky, Riley, Josiah, and Caden shortly after our arrival home at about 12:30PM on 8/13.
I had a typo in the last post when I mentioned the coffee sup cup. Now you can see what I meant. They used a half coffee cup for an IV shield.
Sherry giving JJ his first bath before going home.
Josiah is comfy in mommy’s arm as we roll mommy out of the hospital in a wheel chair.
Riley was so excited to have us home. Can you tell? 🙂
Name Confusion
I feel like I should set the record straight. I know that I have referred to Josiah as JJ, Lil Joe, Jo Jo (Riley’s favorite), and Josiah. The Lil Joe comes from the fact that you can get Joe from his name in three different ways. Joe for Josiah, Joe for Joseph (his middle name), and JO for his initials. We already have one Joe running around, better known as Grandpa. So to minimize confusion, we did consider calling him Lil Joe. The Jo Jo and JJ names should be pretty self explanatory. Confused yet?
Sherry and I have decided to call him by either Josiah or JJ. Here is the full spill on his birth if you have not seen it all in one spot.
