Day 1 was a success!

Well I made it through my first day by myself with Nate. I had a practice day last Monday, but my friend Jennifer did come over for a little bit to let me nap so it doesn't really count! At least now I know I can manage to get him taken care of....even if I don't get to eat lunch until 3 or 4 in the afternoon! I even got him to and from the doctor's office on time! :)

We had our 2 week checkup today and Nate is doing great. He's still tiny, but he has gained his birth weight back plus 1/2 oz so the doctor was happy about that. His umbilical cord has healed, so now we can give him regular baths instead of sponge baths. All is well, except we have to go back in 2 weeks so she can check his hips...they are still clicking, which she said has something to do with his tendons not being connected yet or something? I don't really know, but they should be good by his 4th week. If not, I guess we'll deal with that when we get there. Tomorrow I have to take him to the hospital for his 2nd PKG test where they prick his heel. He won't like that for sure! Hopefully it won't be too cold to get him out and about.

I'm still getting used to this "mommy" business. It sure is hard work, but it is worth it to see him smile.
