Bye Nana!

Today was a sad day, my mom drove back to Florida after spending 3 weeks with us. She was such a big help playing with the baby, giving us time to sleep and helping feed the baby the breastmilk that I was pumping every few hours - she will definately be missed!

Today was fun though -- we went in for Dex's 2week checkup. He is back up to 8 pounds 12 ounces, 21 inches long and his head is a whopping 38cm around. This puts him right in the 50-60th percentile of other babies his age. After visiting the pediatrician we took Dexter to the oncology department to show him off to the nurses that worked on Dan during his chemo. They all loved him and were happy to see Dexter and Dan looking so good - hopefully the next time they have a young testicular cancer patient they mention them and the power of sperm banking!

This picture show off your blond hair! I know you will miss your grandmother. I sure have missed her. I think our cat thinks she has joined the circus. In two days I will get to hold you. Love, Grandfather

All guys know the power of "sperm-banking." We just tend to call it by another name...
