We Made it Home!!

Sorry, but yesterday was so busy we didn't have time to update. We were released from the hospital around 12:30 yesterday, after Alex was given the A-OK by his Dr. He lost 6 oz, but as you know is normal for a newborn. We go back to visit Dr. Savage tomorrow to make sure he is gaining weight and has not become jaundiced. The little man is eating like crazy now that he's figured it out.

Nana and Papa came over and cooked us supper last night and made another meal that we will be eating shortly. Grandma and Grandpa are coming over tomorrow night to bring us supper. This not cooking thing could get really easy to get used to, but I know it won't last!!

Alex was up most of the night last night and that made for a very very tired Mom and Dad. We both took turns up with him, and ended up not getting out of bed until 11:30 today! We all got a nap in this afternoon after Alex was awake for about an hour. The plan is to give him a bath later on and try to wake him up for a little while, so that maybe he'll sleep a bit longer tonight. I know he's on his own schedule, but I'd like to help him get on a schedule that works for Mom and Dad too!

Briggs is still getting used to the idea of having someone new around the house. We've brought him in several times, but for short periods of time. He really just wants to lick his face, which I know how dogs communicate but that is not acceptable! I know over time he'll be fine with him, but we are definitely going through a transition stage right now.

Overall, things are going very well. I'm interested to see how our first outing will go tomorrow. We have a few things we need to do after we go to the pediatrician. Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well!!

As a side note. . . I think it's funny that I was so worried about getting the baby's room all finished and the little man hasn't even been in there for a split second!! Oh, well it's ready whenever he wants to go in there!!
