Today was certainly a more lazy day than yesterday, not quite so many people poking and prodding, both Luke and Tami. They were able to get on a bit more of a routine, eating more, sleeping more (hooray!) and some more visits from friends. Grandma and Grandpa Marcus came by again, along with Julie, Stacy (flying in from Seattle, and boy were her arms tired), Ellie (who gave Luke a blessing), Lorinda, and of course my sisters made another appearance.
Brandon called last night too, and he was very excited about his new little brother, and can't wait to see him when he comes in at Christmas time.
Tami is exhausted, but continues to make great progress, and is looking forward to going home tomorrow to those familiar surroundings. We are going to try and ease the girls back into the routine by taking them one at a time over the first few days and then have everybody back home on Sunday by the evening.
As for Luke, he was a perfect angel when most everyone held him today, as I think he's getting used to having all these people around. Right now it is 11PM, and he's off getting weighed. He lost 6 ounces yesterday, and we'll see how much he has changed since last night, then it's feeding time and hopefully off to sleep. If not, it's off to the nursery for a couple hours, as this is the last night mom and dad will have the advantage of that through night-time, so might as well take advantage of it. Tomorrow too is circumcision day, certainly a great moment in any newborn boys life (can you say aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?).
But barring anything unforseen, by tomorrow evening we will be back home and then the real Marks Family Circus will begin in earnest.
