Ethan had his first outing today - we went back to the breast feeding clinic at the hospital to have his jaundice levels looked at and have his weight checked. He started at 9 lbs 15.4 oz, when we left the hospital he was down to 9 lbs 3.2 oz, and no worries, by today he was back up to 9 lbs 6 oz, so a 3 oz gain in one day, haha! They say they are happy with a half ounce gain in one, so 3 oz is awesome. He is definitely getting his share of food. After the hospital we went to Walgreens to pick up a prescription for me and then headed home. He did pretty well in the car seat, so that was good!
We had a fairly rough first night home, he was wanting to feed every hour to hour and a half and would feed for a little bit then would fall asleep and just not be interested. After finding out that he is gaining a great amount of weight, hopefully I can not stress out so much. Luckily I have a great support system to help me through this time. Jed did a great job getting up with me every time since I can't carry him all that well without hurting my incision and I can't get out of bed by myself yet (can't sit up after surgery yet) He is already an awesome father! I did get a few naps today thanks to my parents and Jed, so I am doing pretty good. We will see how tonight goes.
Love the pics! I remember that pain associated with the incision ...trust me...it will get better! Ethan is super handsome. I can't wait to meet him! Congrats you two!
