Vince's Friends and Going Home

Yesterday Vince had a few visitors at the hospital. Beau, Katie, and Sylvie stopped by in the early evening. Sylvie is 6 months old, and she makes Vince look so tiny. It won't be long until he's her size and they will be playing together. Here's a cute picture of the two of them. Joc also stopped by in the evening, sans twins. She brought over a couple of bags of clothes that Tayeb outgrew that are the perfect size for Vince. Thanks Tayeb!
The best part of the visit was the opportunity for Lisa to talk about breastfeeding with Katie and Joc. Vince has not taken to breastfeeding, and the pediatrician has asked us to supplement with formula since he has a high bilirubin count. We've been a little worried that if we supplement, or Lisa has to pump and we feed him with a bottle, that it will be really hard to get him on the breast later. Talking with Katie and Joc was reassuring for both of us, knowing that we can overcome any initial problems that we have.

Friday was discharge day, and we were definitely ready to go home. Here are a few pictures of our journey.

Hope things are going well at home! Just think, in seventeen years, maybe Sylvie and Vince will be posing together for their prom picture.
