Just pictures

Here are some pictures that were uploaded but I never did anything with them. Looks like they were taken in July or August 2010. Enjoy!

July, week 2...

OK, I said I'd cut back on pictures, but I went overboard the day I brought Joseph home. And I missed a picture of Eric on the 8th.

Homecoming day!!!

Dressing Joseph in the same outfit when we brought Eric home.

Joseph's so tiny!

Propped with blankets. He quickly out grew the need for them.

Trying to give Joseph his binky.

Lots of brotherly love.

Eric has the knack for stepping on Nana's and my toes.

He doesn't feel a thing!

Notice the "Mickey Mouse" ears Logan has?

First week of July... My 'almost' baby arrives

July 1st, I got a call from Emily, the pregnancy counselor at Catholic Charities, giving me details and saying a birthmom chose us to parent her unborn son. Due to complications, Mollie, the birthmom, was having some tests done and would probably be induced as early as the next morning, which meant I was going to be a mom that weekend! So much to do. Michael Bradley (name birthmom chose) was born 8:36 pm, July 2, 20" and 6 lbs. 8 oz., three weeks early. He had breathing issues and was on a CPAP to help his lungs to stay open. He was off that by Monday and by Wednesday afternoon he was off oxygen as well. I brought him home on Saturday July 10th. Joseph Michael was a welcome addition to the family.

Slowly getting rid of all the equipment and tubes.

Yum, feeding time!

Eric getting chummy with 'Abby', the neighbor's cat.

(She's actually 'Annabel Whitesocks, but due to a mistake I call her Abby)

She is the sweetest most tolerant cat I have ever known!

Joseph kept pulling the oxygen tube out.
Just before I left the nurse removed it. It was going to removed later anyway.

Spending time at his favorite playmates house.

Eric and Avery have so much fun together.
