We couldn't keep them away. Nonna Sonia & Nonno Ermanno came to see their newest grandson. Then my mom came from NY the last day to help us take Luca home.

First Days with Luca

Time alone with Luca at the Hospital was great. Elio and I will never forget those few days together with our new friend. Luca passed his hearing test and initial blood tests. Luca latched on right away. I almost was forced to start pumping a bottle so they could keep him in the light machine when he got Jaundice, but Dr. Lurvey stopped that. She told the hospital that I could take him in and out to nurse. She new how important nursing was to me and she didn't want to disrupt the natural process that was going on. If you pump too soon or introduce a bottle too soon you can create nursing difficulties for yourself and the baby.

Luca Battista Tolot, arrives after a successful C-Section at California Hospital. After 12 hours of trouble...a water birth was out and a C-Section was in. So glad we had Dr. Lurvey to guide us and get our Luca out. Dr. Lurvey, of California Obstetrics, is an incredible doctor and I would highly recommend her. Not only does she know her stuff, but she has a huge heart.
