After you were born, Daddy went over to the exam table with you and you were 22 inches long, 8 lbs. 1 oz and had a 1 minute Apgar score of 8 and a 5 minute score of 9. Essentially, you were perfect.
As they stitched Mommy back up, Daddy went with you to the nursery where they did hearing tests and blood tests and treated your eyes, and where Daddy got to give you your first bath!
After all that, I met up with you and Daddy in our room. We were all pretty exhausted by this time -- around 2:00 AM, but Daddy called BaBa and Mommy called Grandma. They were both so excited to meet you!
Yesterday was a busy first day for you. They took you to the nursery where you met your pediatrician, plus you and I spent a good part of the day working on breastfeeding. Despite the learning curve, you've had plenty of wet and dirty diapers, which means that you are getting plenty of nutrients and doing great.
You also had lots of visitors yesterday. Uncle Chris and Aunt Chrissy brought Carter, Cole, Cade and Camden in the afternoon. Then Chad & Corrisa brought you a stuffed Marline. They agreed that you are perfect (luckily they missed your little crying bout in the early afternoon). Not long after they left, Paul & Sientay arrived with Ben and Eva and chicken sandwiches from Zaxby's. Then a bit later, Sam showed up and finally, Bob & Donna.
Everyone was charmed by you and thrilled to meet you, and Daddy and I are so proud to introduce you to everyone. We are having so much fun!
My boys
So good to finally see you!
