We Made it Home!

Be sure to visit the My Photo Album link to see more pictures from the hospital and from home!

Mom and dad brought me home on Sunday and they were very excited. Tarek was happy too, although he was sure to let me know that he was the "King" of this domain!


Mom and dad settled into a groove a little something like this: Feed the baby, change the baby, feed the baby...etc.
I think in the first 24 hours at home, I managed to mess up seven different outfits. I even managed to pee on daddy's friend Buddha.

Monday was much better as we were just hanging out at home figuring each other out. Later in the afternoon, I sat outside in my bouncy chair with Mom while Daddy and Tarek went running through the sprinklers...boy was it hot!


Lito and Lita brought some dinner over and they spent some time with us before it was time for bed. I did much better through the night and so did mommy and daddy. They finally remembered how to take care of a tiny guy like me. Mommy said she is settling into the fog...I don't know what that means, but I think she's tired.

Hello World! My name is Oliver Reed Rojas...I finally made it to see everyone, but not as I had anticipated. In fact, it worked out better for me than for mom. You see, I was being squeezed out for about 14 hours, but wasn't really going anywhere. In fact at one point, my heart slowed down so much that I heard a bunch of people saying they were coming to get me, but I felt better and stayed put!

As mom explained it, we arrived at the hospital just after midnight on Tuesday. By 10:00 Wednesday morning, I wasn't going anywhere no matter how much pushing, probing and encouragment was going on. Dr. Quinn suggested that I come out another way and at 2:27 p.m. on Wednesday, July 18th, I joined the world via Caesarian Section! It was no wonder I couldn't get out due to the size of my enourmous head at 36.5 cm. I also outweighed my big brother Tarek by approximately two pounds at birth...he better watch out! I was 21.5 inches long.

I'm getting accustomed to life outside of water and it's not too bad. I have all kind of people fussing over me and my big brother Tarek thinks I'm great. He was really interested in me until he opened the Thomas the Train presents that I had mommy buy for him!

Anyway, here are a few photos of the event and the people around! I'll keep this updated with things that are going on and more pictures. I'll even have dad post a whole album on another site and tell you where to go.












I hope I get to meet many of you very soon! Go Utes!
