Michael and Megan came with baby Tommy for dinner last night. Katherine was there, too. (James was at work.) Nicky finally got to meet his nephew! He still can't hold him because neither Nick nor Tommy has had the dTap shot, but Michael promises everyone will be able to be close to Tommy in about a month. In time for Thanksgiving!
We had a nice dinner of ravioli lasagna and sfigotelli (sp?) for dessert.
Tommy had formula. It will be quite a while before he gets solid food.
My little angel:
It's hard to believe I gave birth to my oldest 41 years ago. He was born on a Monday, Columbus Day, in 1982 at 5:37. (I will always remember that time because it's the train I took home from the city when I was younger.)
Now he's a happily married man and a daddy!
We had dinner at our favorite restaurant, Catfish Annie's. Michael had twin lobsters. We were joined by Megan (her parents babysat Tommy), John, Noreen and Michael's cousin, John Joseph. We all really enjoyed ourselves! (Mike paid for the dinner, John paid the tip.)
Tommy was one month old yesterday, Sept. 25.Megan spent a few days in the hospital with a double kidney infection but seems to be doing much better now. She's spending a few days with her parents to get some rest. Michael has been taking care of his son (happily) but needs to catch up on some things he couldn't do with a newborn to care for. They might visit on Sunday--I hope.
Mike and I babysat on Tuesday so Michael could visit Megan in the hospital. Tommy was an Angel from Heaven. It felt so good to hold him in my arms.
My little dollbabyShe came down with a fever of 105 degrees and had to go to the hospital. Turns out she has an infection in both kidneys. The fever has gone down a bit but she's not out of danger yet.
Not only that, she's stuck in a bed in the hallway since there are no rooms available at the moment. I wonder why so many people are sick.
Tommy is in good hands between Michael and Megan's parents. He's a bottle baby so that's not a problem.
I just hope Megan comes home by tomorrow. That poor girl just can't catch a break.
We got to visit our little grandson a few days after he came home. It was so wonderful to hold that sweet baby in my arms! I don't think I could ever get enough of him.
First Day Home
