1 Week

It's hard to believe that Santino was born last Monday! What a difference a week makes! He made his debut 2 weeks earlier than expected and caught me off guard. Much to my surprise, my water broke in our bed. Thankfully, Rob was able to rip off the bedding before it soaked through to the mattress. haha... (Too much info - I know)!


In the hospital, soon after Santino was born, he kept opening up only one eye. Rob was calling him Captain Hook, while one of the nurses jokingly said he looked like a pirate. Speaking of Santino's eyes, they are a beautiful blue color.


Santino, to this point, has been an easy baby. He sleeps well and likes (or has to be) swaddled. He loves to eat, but doesn't know his limits, so let's just say, this equates to LOTS of dirty laundry!


Sometimes when he sneezes, he'll add a little yelp at the end. The sound reminds me of a little doggie barking saying "aaahhh"...So cute!


He has the longest toes and fingers and is very skinny. Last Friday at the Doctor's he weighed in at whopping 5 pounds 7 ounces.


We feel so blessed and honored to have Santino as our child. The meaning of his name is "little saint" or "little angel," and it fits him perfectly.


Happy day!
