Happy one month birthday Sam! To celebrate, your mom got a sore throat and had to miss seeing you for the first time since you were born.  Lucky for mommy, Sam had a pretty quiet day today.  He has been weened off of the morphine, put in the new isolette and moved back to the original room (Sam's roommate in room 9 is apparently a little too noisy for his liking).  Daddy got to spend some quality time alone with Sam while Irene was out for a special field trip with cousin Rosie to Fairyland.
