After spending his first few days in the hospital, it was wonderful to finally get our little guy home. He has been so fun to get to know and watch all his little faces and movements now that he is “on the outside” or, as my Uncle Alex, the OB doctor, calls it, “exteriorized.” :)
Reid’s first doctor appointment went well and we learned he is gaining weight – a huge relief for me because it means that breastfeeding is going well.
Reid met his Great Uncle Matt and Great Aunt Ellen while they are in Central Texas on a visit. Great timing!
Sadie Belle has been curious about the little man, and slightly nervous, it seems. She stays pretty close to us and wants to play a lot.
We said goodbye to my mom on Thursday. We appreciated all her help! Luckily, she was able to stay long enough to “hand off” to Jer’s parents (Bob and Dana), who arrived on Thursday. They have already been a big help and we appreciate them!
Friday was a beautiful day here in Austin so we took Reid out for his first lounge on the patio. It was so nice!
I missed Reid’s first bath in the hospital, so I was excited for the little guy’s sponge bath Friday night! Hopefully he’ll enjoy taking a tubby as much as his cousins do!
More to come!
