Patrick Eakes

Here is the new center of our universe, John Eakes. He is about six hours old in this picture.

Since this picture was made, he has mastered his initial skill set pretty well - eat, sleep, poop, repeat.

We just got home from the hospital, and Kristen and I are both looking forward to sleeping (a little) in our own bed again. Her hospital bed was not too comfortable, and the couch in her room wasn't that great for me either.

While our sleep might not have been comfortable, all of the staff at The Women's Hospital were exceptional. We had not one complaint about any part of our experience there. They made a wonderful event even better.
