Anderson's 2nd Day in the World

We all got a good night's rest last night -- well, it probably helped that Anderson spent the night in the hospital nursery! The nurses checked in on Tara a couple of times during the night but she was able to sleep good in between.

We woke up around 7:00 and Tara was anxious to get a shower and get Anderson. They asked her to wait until after breakfast for her shower. Breakfast arrived around 8:00 and I went to pick up the baby. However, the peditrician on call (Dr. Byrum) was checking him out so we had to wait. Dr. Bryum came by and said the baby was in excellent shape. Tara and I walked down to the nursery to get him. He ate 2 ounces at 3:45 a.m. and 1.5 ounces at 7:45 so he is eating really good. He's been asleep since we got back to the room. Tara's doctor, Dr. Phillips, stopped by and said Tara could go home tomorrow if she felt like it. I think we'll all be anxious to get home by then.
