Here’s Peanut’s going home outfit – picked out by his big sister.
We got a photo taken as we were leaving the hospital. I’m so happy we did this because I regretted not doing this with KK.
We settled in nicely and KK was so sweet to her baby brother. Let the new adventure begin!!!
This morning the birth certificate lady came by to pick up our form and we had to make a decision on Peanut’s name. So, here is our official announcement:
Name: Jon Tyler Lao (to keep his Daddy’s initials alive)
Weight: 8 pounds, 12 ounces (81st percentile)
Length: 21 inches (90th percentile)
On his discharge weight check, he weighed 8 pounds, 2 ounces (a loss of 7%). He also got circumcised this afternoon and endured it like a champ. My milk has officially come in too. I suspected yesterday but someone came by to check. This guy should be at dumpling status in no time.
My family is now complete. I’ve loved having a little brother and I think KK is going to love being a big sister. 
Look at these two munchkins. Makes my heart melt.
We had brunch this morning at Mission Rock Resort and got a nice corner table on the patio.
This was the breakfast sandwich that the brothers shared today.
The twins came dressed in the onesies that we bought them. So cute. Looks like Toni won and Thomas disagrees.
My mom hung out with Toni while Thomas was getting fed. 
KK hung out with Thomas once he was full and happy.
This photo of the three of them makes me chuckle. Can’t wait to add Peanut to the mix.
Thomas finally figured out how to use his pacifier while Toni has completely mastered it.
KK took this cute photo of Jia with the kids.
We picked up my mom from the airport yesterday and although it’s been less than 24 hours, it’s made such a difference! KK has another person to keep her company and I got to take a shower at a random time this morning!! The best part so far was that I got to take a nap today. I was exhausted after walking to and from the hospital for antenatal testing and I fell asleep while surfing on my phone. It wasn’t my usual fake half-nap with KK calling my name every 2 minutes while I doze in and out with my eyes closed on the couch. This was an uninterupted-full-fledged-over-an-hour nap. When I woke up, they weren’t home but the stroller was still home.
Ten minutes later, they walked through the door and KK happily said, “good morning!” and had a shopping bag hanging across her chest. They had gone for a walk to Safeway!
After lunch, I gave my mom a turn to nap and KK ended up falling asleep too! Maybe I wasn’t tiring her out enough! Regardless, I feel more rested and KK has been a little less stubborn and needy today. I also managed to score a few deals online during the Amazon Prime Day Sale today and my mom is making some of my favorite things to eat for dinner right now. Aaaaah… Thanks, Mommy for all your help so far!
I’m at 37.5 weeks now and walking is getting a little less comfortable each day. Luckily, once I get going, I feel fine and can go quite a distance still. Last weekend, we even walked to Pier 27 to watch the symphony and that’s about 2 miles from home each way. My doctor says I’ve gained about 10 pounds this pregnancy, which is surprising because I feel HUGE. Maybe it will help me lose all the baby weight and then some once Peanut arrives.
Thomas and Toni turned a month old this week. While we were at their house yesterday, I snapped a couple photos of them during their brief moments of being awake and content. It’s fun to see their little personalities come out each time we see them. Jia and Jason are also adjusting to their new life quite well.
