I added some more photos at:

These include his first bath, tummy time and visits from family.

Poor Noah has been poked and prodded all afternoon. First, at the
doctor's office for his first appointment; then, back at the hospital
for follow-up metabolic testing.

Poor little guy! Now, it's time for lunch and a nap…for Noah, too. 🙂

Yes, it is probably “gas”, but we got him to smile on camera!  He has a great full-body smile.  🙂

You can see the video here.

Don't let Amanda drink lots of caffeine during the day. Noah will be
very awake all night long…

Several people have asked where pictures of Noah can be found.  So, I’m posting these again for those that are interested.

Our pictures are at:

Our site is constantly updated, so check back for more pictures often.

Well, everyone had a good first night.  Noah slept well, as did his parents — in a comfortable bed!

Our little boy is doing great, and we’re having a good time with him.  I even changed my first diaper this morning (wasn’t so bad, after all).  🙂

Noah was finally discharged, and his bilirubin levels were stable.
Yea!!!

We thought we’d be discharged today (and, technically, we will be).  But, little Noah’s bilirubin (jaundice) numbers are higher than the peds doctor would like.  So, they’re going to give our little boy a night in the “baby tanning bed” and check him again in the morning.  See, he’s gotta be our child — he likes the warmth of the sun!  😉

We’re staying another night at the hospital; they have given us a complimentary room, so that Amanda can be nearby to feed him at his breaks every 3 hours.

For those that have not seen, I have posted more pictures here.  We’re having a grand time on this new adventure thus far!

Thanks for all the prayers and company,

Neil & Amanda (& Noah)

The pediatric doctor just came and saw Noah, and she said that he looks great.  There was nothing at all that she had to comment on, so we are grateful.  Thank Almighty God for such a blessed day – a (relatively) quick delivery, a healthy baby boy and a healthy mom.

Amanda is recovering well.  We continue to have Noah with us the great majority of the time in our room.  Noah is sleeping a lot and doing well.

Thanks for all the prayers and well-wishes!
