Parker's 1st Week Home

Today is exactly one week from when we left the hospital. Todd and I are enjoying evey minute with Parker! We can't help but smile every time we look at him.  We couldn't be happier that Parker is finally here! He's the best thing that's ever happened to us. We both feel very fortunate and blessed to have him in our lives. At the same time it's been a challenge to adjust to all the changes. For the most part he has been a good boy so far.  We haven't had any major issues yet.  He has his days and nights confused so that has been the only challenge for us. He sleeps all day long and I have to wake him up to feed him. At night he is wide wake and gets a little fussy but most of the time we are able to calm him down quickly.  I am looking forward to see how the next few weeks will go.

Parker had a lot of firsts this week.

Parker's 1st doctors visit!

Parker's first doctor's visit went really well. He has gained 3.5 oz since leaving the hospital. When he was born he weighed 5lbs 15oz. He went down to 5lbs 6oz at the hospital and at his appt. he weighed 5lbs 9.5 oz. We went to the doctors again the following day because I wanted to meet with the lactation specialist and she was so impressed with how well he was feeding that we weighed him again and he weighed 5lbs 11oz! We have another appointment this Friday so hopefully it goes up again! At both appointments they checked him from head to toe and everything looked great!
