Hello! Met my baby sister today. 

She really is small. 




Open wide for a paci!

Same kiss, different angle. Adults are crazy about taking photos. 




But baby sister really looks like me!

Grandma, grandpa and I had some of our own adventures. 

Where are the grandma pics from today? Need to do a better job, adults!

Love,

Baby Vivian is here!

Vivian Marie Henry, 7 pounds, 0 ounces, 18.5”  inches long, 35.5 cm head. Born on August 28, 2018 at 10:47am. 

Mom says a planned c section is very civilized. You just check in and say you are here to have a baby. Mom’s nurse was Nurse Maggie. She was from Dorchester and had a thick accent. Beth Israel has tons of med students, residents, and fellows. We got asked to participate in research studies. One on cord blood, one on meds to make you not get cold shakes during a c section. 

They prepped mom for an hour then led her back to the OR. They gave her some sort of spinal rapid numbing medicine and placed an epidural. Mom started throwing up then gross! Then dad got to go in, and they got baby Vivian out in probably ten minutes. She got weighed, and they took her Apgar scores (9 and 9).  Then dad got to hold her while they stitched mom up. Mom, dad and Vivian went back to the recovery room afterwards. There were lots of patients by that time, including one ten pound baby. Once mom could move her legs again they got to go downstairs to their own room. 

Vivian and I really look alike!

Selfie!

And grandma stopped by! She took an Uber. 

I get to go visit tomorrow, then grandma, grandpa and I are off to Newport!

Love you all!!!

Wow! Last blog post before baby sister arrives!

Grandpa came out as a pinch hitter for mom and dad! Thanks grandpa! We had some great adventures. 

We made this cobbler with apples- thanks Ms. Hoa for the recipe. 

Built some ramps. 


Took a train ride to Riverside. 

Saw a model Pluto. 

Made like a Shinkansen down the hallway to take out the trash. 

Good train setup. 

I love swinging now. 

Went to a nice indoor jump playground with mom. They have this train outside. What’s with the dirty shirt on the ground. 

Next time I see you I will be a big brother! Woo!

Hello!

A little behind on blogging here. Baby sister will be here in less than a week!

Have been having lots of adventures. Mom took me to visit dad’s workplace. We rode all the way to Copley. 

Played some scrabble. 

Mom took me out for a burger at Shake Shack. I actually got a hot dog. 




Hanging out with Ender. We’ve found our favorite spots on the couch. 

Built trains with pops. 

Checked out the waterfall nearby. 

Went to Dunkin with mom. 

Got a haircut. 

We went to the library. It’s so much fun there!

Love you all!
