We came home on Saturday, and it felt so nice to be back. But--where were all the nurses? The Birthing Center was stupendous. They really took care of us and prepared us for the intensity to follow.
So, here he is with his mouth closed (and eyes, too). He was sleeping for about three hours in this seat following his first doctor's appointment just two days after his release from the hospital. The doctor was amazed by his astounding weight gain--one ounce more than his birth weight. As you know, babies lose weight before they gain it. We don't have to go back for the general two week appointment. Just come back next month, he said, this baby is extraordinary! (He didn't really say the extraordinary part.)
Needless to say he eats contantly, which I guess should be no surprise considering his parents. He also has blessed us with two four and a half hours stretches of sleep at night, which we duly thank him for.
