The big sisters

have visited. They love their new baby brother. He's darn cute, of course, so it's not hard to see why. :) They took turns holding him over and over and over. He was very cooperative about all of it and slept peacefully through all the attention and snuggles. They had written notes for Mom, Dad, and Simeon, and had drawn pictures. They had also been up in the night, apparently, so Naomi was a bit overwrought at finding that the new baby and Mama were STAYING at the hospital and not going home. Dada went back for lunch and naptime, and Mama and Simeon stayed at the hospital and slept. It was a joy to see the girls and have them love their new brother so much.

Simeon has cute, curly, dark hair, although there are lighter patches. His eyelashes are blond. He looks a bit like Naomi did at his age. He has long fingers (and long fingernails -- watch out!) like his Dad. He makes cute noises in his sleep and has smiled in his sleep a lot - very sweet.

I am feeling better rested after another nap -- we didn't get much sleep last night for some reason.

Hmmm...the TV in my room just randomly turned on to an infomercial about orthotics. I'm going to have to do something about THAT.
