Our little Test Tube Baby
Our little Test Tube Baby
Justin's story begins 15 months before his birthday. His parents knew they needed some help to get pregnant so they spent a lot of time at the reproductive clinic at the Royal Victoria Hospital (especially his mommy). She had many ultrasounds during the pregnancy, some of which are on the Ultrasounds page. Although the first trimester was especially difficult, and the pregnancy was tough, the delivery was a breeze and Justin came out just perfect !

Here is Justin (under Mom's blue shirt), just hours before his big entrance to the world. Mom is resting comfortably waiting for her contractions to begin. The hospital staff was just great and everything went very well.

On Feb 11th at 1:11 AM Justin came into the world. He weighed 6lbs. 8ozs. and had almost no hair. He was very cute even on day 1 especially with his little hat on which covered his (temporary) cone head.

This is a picture of Justin getting his first sponge bath at home. He is 3 days old and doing just great. He doesn't sleep all that much but he is so cute we hardly care. He is not a big eater either (yet) but this too will change.

This is a picture of Justin in his crib. As usual he is captivated by his mobile. His "friends" provide countless hours of distraction for little Justinino. This might be the best investment in Baby stuff that we made !

Here is Justin at 3 months old in a big bowl of Apples. He didn't cry at all during this photo shoot but barely cracked a smile either.

When Justin gets a little stir crazy, he can always be soothed by going for a ride in the car. He loves being outside where there are lots of things to look at. He also loves the vibrations of the car or anything that moves.
Image
Justin loves swings. Here he is in a swing at his cousin's house in LA. He could do this all day !
Image
Justin loves tug o war. Here he is hanging on with all of his might to his blankey. He is getting stronger and longer every day ! He is thankfully sleeping through the night too.
Image
Here is a picture of Justin "swimming" for the 1st time in the pool at the Sagamore on Bolting Landing at lake George. He loves to stick out his tongue and drink the water !
Image
Justin LOVES his Doggy ! Bogey provide many hours of entertainment for Justin. The pooch can't wait for Justin to start eating real food so he can get some scraps.

Here is Justin crusing in his little boat in the pool at Top Notch in Stowe Vermont. He spent 2 hours in this thing and then slept "like a baby".

Justin enjoyed his first bike ride in the chariot behind his dad in Stowe VT. He loved going with the wind blowing in Hair !
