Tuesday - Jack day 3

We had paternity issues today. Janelle is a medical technologist so knows a bit about blood. After I explained I''m B positive, she explained that I can't be the father! After a phone call to England we got it all worked out (for future reference I'm actually A negative!)

Jack found his voice last night proving the 2nd night is harder than the 1st. He went from extremely contented to miserable screamer in seconds just as I got comfortable in the cot. We were up most of the night, I did get some sleep and Heather maybe got 2 hours. We will work this science project out!

Today Jack had his manhood messed with; his foreskin was removed. This is a common procedure in the states with 50% of babies having it removed for hygiene reasons. He handled it really well, It bothered me more than him. When he came back it seemed he wasn't bothered at all.

We had a lot of visitors today; Stacey, Kenneth, Janelle. Gary (Hev's parents), Heidi (sister), Wayne, Rebecca, Josh, Sarah, Cristy and Chris. we are forever indebted to all these guys who have helped out during this time, especially with our two dogs. I'll get them on here later in the week.

I'll get more pictures up soon, Jack is being, well, a baby.
