Only a few short days into parenting, but below are a few less than obvious indicators that we are parents. Jacob is going to spend another night in the hospital, but we have faith he will come home soon. Jaundice is annoying... nonetheless, he is very healthy outside of this and he is an amazing blessing.We've become parents:
- We've sleep in the hospital on a chair that folds into a bed. Comfort level negative 50.
- We cheer for poopie diapers (get rid of the bad jaundice "bilirubins")
- Crying is cool, burping is acceptable, farting is bliss.
- Our baby recognizes our voice and turns his head to see us.
- We've looked at one another and said, look what we have created.
- We've had a complete stranger say "I knew that was your baby," when we looked into the nursery.
We're so excited, we want to bring Jacob Terry home. Patience and healing... let's make tomorrow the day!
All the best,
- Adam, Melissa, Jacob and Duncan

Quite some time ago Adam, I seem to remember a farting contest as part of a night spent at Great America. I thought you knew back then - farting is bliss!!!

We are praying that the lights flush all that bili out of your little boy, and you can go home soon. We are all too familiar w/bili levels - Madi had to stay an extra day for high levels as well. She definitely looked like a pumpkin - but hey, at least it's the month of Halloween for Jacob! Good luck w/everything, and let us know if there is anything we can do. - Love The Padgetts
Uncle Mike, I have no idea what you are referring to. I would never do such a thing... must have been something you taught the boys. I am sure I was sleeping like a baby and minding my own business.
