Day #2

As we were getting ready to go to the hospital to see Teresa and Brandon, the boys were playing outside. All of the sudden Steven started crying because he had been stung by a bee. There was no stinger in his ear, so it obviously wasn't a bee, and after about 5 minutes his ear was HUGE. Anyone remember in the movie Hitch with Will Smith when he has that allergic reaction to the food and his ears got all swollen and fat? That's what it reminded me of. It's still pretty funny to look at Steven.

We went to visit mother and child in the hospital after the "hornet" fiasco. Teresa is looking and acting great. Brandon is already doing a great job being tough and handling the head-dropping and screaming from his older brothers. While Jacob was holding him he started shaking him and saying "Wake up baby!" He's a crack up.
Brandon is not as overly huge as his face looks in the pictures, though he is still shockingly heavy. Teresa said he weighs the exact amount she gained throughout her entire pregnancy. Way to go her!
Steve went to go pick them up from the hospital a few hours ago so they should be home anytime. The boys and I are very excited. Here are some pictures from this morning.

And the life begins with 3 older brothers- Good luck little Brandon. I can not believe the weight situation. Teresa- that is incredible. I pray for that with my fourth.

You guys - I can hardly tell Nathan & Jacob apart, they look so much alike. All the boys are cute as buttons -- and now there are four. Steve, when I said the only thing I could wish for you was for about 9 just like you -- your well on your way. Keep up the good work!! Mom/Nana/Fran
