Shortly after arriving home we had our first rush of visitors. Teddy got to meet his Nana and Auntie Bethany - so glad they were able to make the trip and meet our son!! Mimi and PopPop came for another visit as well. We settled into the first week and hit a few milestones along the way.
Daddy went back to work, but no worries Mimi came to stay for the week so Mom could get used to everything before venturing a day alone with Teddy. Mimi was such a HUGE help..she helped cook, clean, and helped me keep my sanity as I adjusted to sleep deprivation and this little life that was fully dependent on me. Thank you so much Mom for coming to stay with us!!
Other milestones this week included - first tummy time. Teddy hates tummy time and during his first official tummy time on the floor on day 6 Teddy rolled from his stomach to his back. Ted tried to get him to do it again, but Teddy just screamed. Teddy took his first trip out of the house this week...we went to the doctor. The doctor said he looked great! His umbilical cord has fallen off and is healing nicely. He weighed in at 8 lbs, and has gained 2 oz since discharge. His length is 21 1/4 inches. We have to go back in a week to check on his weight gain.
Teddy had his first bath at home this week. He cried during the entire thing. We attempted to take pictures, but only ended up with a before and after shot as the photographer (Ted) needed to assist the bath giver (Sharon).
We are getting used to parenthood, adjusting to the sleepless nights and this little bundle of love that brings so much joy to us both. He is our current family favorite :-)
