Obviously (based on previous postings) Cedric "CJ" Malcolm was born last Saturday - (11/7/09 at 11:07 am). Things started off a little rocky - he ended up swallowing maconium, and had to have a "Code Pink" team when he was born, and be on oxygen. After a couple hours he was doing well, but was throwing up some nasty stuff for the next day.
On Sunday he threw up again, and the hospital that we were at didn't have a NICU, so they decided to transfer him to the larger hospital in the area. It was very scary but everything ended up ok. They discharged me from the hospital a day early so that I could go visit him at the NICU. Sunday through Wednesday Cedric and I spent tons of time at the NICU to be with him, and he was discharged Wednesday at noon, completely healthy, and doing wonderful.
Friday was his first doctor appointment, and the doctor said he was dong really well, gaining weight, and we didn't need to come back for a month.
Saturday both sets of Grandparents came down, as well as Uncle Garin. It was a long day, but good to see everyone. Which leads us to today. which has been very low key (and nice compared with the hectic week).
I uploaded some new pictures. (same link as before - see the sidebar for a link) - here are some highlights of the pictures.
Heading home from the hospital - they made me take a wheel chair out, even though I wasn't admitted to that hospital ever.
