Two months

Here are some of my favorite pics from Dominic's second month.  He keeps on growing like a little weed.  He's eating and sleeping great. This month he has started cooing and squealing and he is smiling a lot more.  Luca can usually get him to smile and make a little giggle especially when they both wake up in the morning.

Here are some pics of Dominic from his first month.  He's growing fast!

 This is Dominic on his one month birthday with the bear that Nana and Papa got for him.

Luca was happy to take Dominic to meet great-grandma June.

Introducing Dominic Adrian Angelo Serino

Our sweet new son was born January 11, 2013 at 1014am.  He weighed 5lb 5oz and was 19 inches long.  Like his brother before him, Dominic made a big entrance.  I had a regular visit scheduled with my OB that morning and mentioned to him that Dominic hadn't been moving much since the night before.  When he put me on the monitor it showed that Dominic's heart rate was getting quite low and so the decision was made to have a c-section right away and in less than an hour he was born.  Dominic recovered very quickly and other than a little issue with low BG in the first few days due to his small size he hasn't had any issues

 

Luca was so excited to meet his baby brother and it was love at first sight. He has been a big help around the house while we are adjusting to life with a baby again.  From fetching whatever momma forgot to bring to dancing around like a monkey to make Dominic stop crying he is eager to help and likes being the "big brother".

Getting ready to make our escape...finally!  Like I said, Dominic had some low blood sugars in the days after he was born so we ended up having to stay in the hospital for 4 days.  It got to be a very long 4 days apart for momma and her first boy and we couldn't wait to get home again.  And on January 15, 2013 we brought Dominic home.
