Roman Joseph Passante joined our family on July 14th at 1:19pm. He weighed 7lb 11 oz and was 20 inches long. The labor and delivery part was much easier this time around, specifically once the epidural was in place. :)Roman swallowed a lot of fluid on his way out, so they had to suction him and give some oxygen before I could even hold him... the longest 25 minutes of my life. We also kept a close eye on his bilirubin numbers as he showed slight signs of being jaundice, just as Ava was. We had to go to the pediatrician both Thursday and Friday morning so they could get blood samples. We were also told to increase his milk intake and I'm happy to report not only did the numbers stay in a healthy range, he gained back the 4 ounces he had lost since leaving the hospital.
We've had a busy last couple of days adjusting to life with two kids. It's a lot more difficult than I imagined, mainly because of Ava's transition to sharing our time. She's definitely aware that Roman is taking up Mommy's time from her and she has been very sensitive and sassy.
We're also 3 days from moving into our new home. Joe's been busy packing and transporting most of the boxes and small things while I work on trying to nap any chance I get.
I'll attempt to make another update before the computer gets packed but please bookmark this blog if you'd like to continue with our family updates and pictures. Thanks to all for your well wishes!
