E and J had been told (often) that they should expect the worst at night, and should be prepared to actually sleep again in about 18 years.
TJ proved to be a bit of a contrarian and developed a nice routine, only crying when he needed to be changed and was hungry, never just because. Though E and J expect that will happen in the future, TJ decided to ease us into our first night of parenthood. We'll let you know how night two goes...
Baby TJ got a big thumbs up from the doctor!
After the doctor, and a quick bite to eat for TJ (E and J had to wait till they got back to the room), we visited the wonderful people at our attorney's office who helped bring TJ into our lives, they loved him (but really, who wouldn't? Just look at the face!)
We also found out that we unfortunately we still can't cross the Florida state line or it becomes kidnapping - so, if all goes well, our goal is to be back home by Tuesday.
Tomorrow we will say good bye to Birth Mother M, and Baby TJ's Birth Grandmother and drive to the Florida border - so that we are that much closer to home when we get the all clear from our home state ICPC approvers.
J would also like to note that little TJ apparently understood the concept of 'J has to take his Hebrew midterm' and slept the entire time. J has chosen to interpret this to mean that TJ is looking forward to receiving a set of Hebrew and Greek wooden alphabet/aleph-bet blocks.
