We have been home for a few days now and things are going well. Sam had his first pediatrician appointment and was down in weight about half a pound from birth. It must be the lack of eating in the first few days along with the massive pooping. We have a weight check again next week and hopefully he will be up again.
We got to spend lots of time bonding as a family. Tyler has been making me amazing dinners every night and a great help to have around.
In general, Sam is a very content baby. He is very alert and sleeps like a champ. I usually have to wake him up at night to feed.
Poppy has not subsided in her watchfulness. She will not leave his side and stares up at him when we are holding him in our arms. She also rests her head on the side of his bassinet while he sleeps and will lick his toes or nudge his blankets if he makes a peep. She whines when we leave the house and she can't come along. She is so watchful, she has even missed the postman the last few days!
Here he is relaxing on the blanket his great grandma Carol made him.
We have been going for nice long walks every day. The weather has been beautiful all week and Sam seems to love being outside.
And finally, his feed me face...
He is absolutely precious! That's so great you are getting out for walks, I'm sure it helps the body heal faster. I hope Sam remains a sleeper for you, that's wonderful, speaking of sleep...
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys are parenting champs already! Good team work! Glad to hear Poppy loves the baby; in 6 months or so they will be best friends I'm sure. Lily is a year in a half and "dog" is one of the first words out of her mouth when she gets up every morning. Take care and hopefully the good sleep continues! Write if you ever want any baby-anything advice.
