One Month Birthday (and a teaser picture)

One month. I can't believe he has only been with us for a month, yet it seems like an eternity ago that I was in labour with him. It also doesn't feel like we've been in Edmonton for almost a month already, at the same times it feels like FOREVER. I can't wait to come home, with my baby boy, even if it means he'll still be at RUH for a while. Baby steps, ya know...

Peek-a-boo!
This is the best y'all are gunna get for now.

He fell asleep about a minute after this picture was taken. He is all snuggled into one of his blankets, and the orange face cloth is holding his soother in place (he loves it, but the cleft makes it so that he can't hold it in his mouth on his own because he can't get the suction)

So there ya have it. He actually exists! Hehe. I'm still working on being OK with other pictures, consider this a compromise, but this may tide over a few of you. ;)


P.S. The sore on the bridge of his nose is a pressure spot from the breathing mask. It's slowly going away, but it looked way worse a week ago when it was purple-y like a bruise.
