John MacKarsie Trovato – Born Sept 18th, 5:45 PM; weighing in at 7lbs 5.9oz, 19.5 inches long at UVA Hospital in Charlottesville, VA.
He gets his name John from both my father, and Virginia’s father. MacKarsie comes from Virginia’s Grandmother Page; it was her maiden name.
Wednesday, we had our first visitors, while still at the hospital:
First, Grandmom and Grandpop Trovato came to visit…
Then, Aunt Martha with Grandmom and Grandpop Page,
For the family folks… look at the room and furniture in the background. When the Trovato side came to visit, we were in the recovery room. When the Page side came to visit, we were in the Mother and Baby section. The first recovery room was much better… take a look at the folding bed in the background… it actually had a real mattress on it… it wasn’t a torture device like the “cot” given to me in the other room…. and man… I missed that recliner from the recovery room..
Saturday, Auntie Rachel and Uncle Victor came to visit…. so we had to put John in one of the many articles of clothing that Rachel got him….
We’re enjoying being back home from the hospital with our little man… I’ve taken to calling him Bubba… which drives Virginia a little crazy… but he looks like a Bubba right now… chubby cheeks… no teeth…
