It is a bit past noon and I am so ready to go home! :) We had to stay for two days because I didn't get tested for group B strep until Thursday. The quick results machine was down at the hospital so they had to wait for the lab results from the midwife- which they won't get until Monday, so... They had to assume that it was positive. I received antibiotics during labor and we were here longer. Evan took Aiden & Elijah home yesterday morning so it's just been Kieran and I. He is such a cuddle bug so far! He's nursing fairly well, his weight has already stabilized and should be climbing now- we are ready to go!
Evan had some trouble getting the boys ready this morning- thinking on it, I believe this just might be the first time he has had both boys to get ready 100% by himself. We were not prepared to have the baby quite yet, so Evan had to pack everything for KJ and I Friday after the delivery and bring it back to us. He has been so wonderful through this, the boys and I are so blessed to have such a wonderful guy leading our family. The boys did okay during their night without me (the other nights everyone stayed here at the hospital, it was chaotic) and I think everyone finally caught up on some rest! I am hoping to get some pictures of all of the boys together when we get home- Aiden has been very interested in Kieran, but Elijah was more interested in exploring the hospital room and well, it was a stressful few days, I didn't want to try his patience with posing for pictures!
They should be here to get us in an hour or so and hopefully by then the discharge will be in order. I did ask the pediatrician about Kieran's lip, she said she's not sure, it may be something that happens when he lays on his side... But she said to follow up with his normal pediatrician. I'm not all that concerned at this point because they did check his mouth for structural defects at birth and he was fine. He is nursing, pooping, and peeing okay. I briefly wondered if maybe his muscles are just relaxed or weak while he is sleeping and that's why it happens, but I've decided not to worry right now and just enjoy my beautiful little boy. Every time I look at him, I am overcome with how precious he is and how blessed we are. I wish every child had someone to feel this about them when they were brand new and forever. I think it is diaper changing time, funny how you always seem to forget how tiny babies are until you're holding a new one!

Oh congratulations, he is here, I was going through my blogrool the first time in a long time and saw this. I am sorry for the drama of his arrival, but very happy he is here and you are both OK.
