Our First Week with Connor...

I can't believe it's only been a week since Connor has been out. He already has this sweet little personality. I've been very very spoiled because I've been able to hold him and love him to my heart's content. Grandma and Grandpa Lamb took the boys for almost a week and then Grandma Mary & Danny came in town and entertained the boys for a few more days. Randy also took Andrew on a fishing trip. I actually kind of missed them :).

The 2nd day we were in the hospital, Connor had to be under bili lights for 24 hours. I could only hold him for feedings...it was so sad! So I made up for it by barely putting him down once he got out. Did I mention he is so sweet!? He actually did well under the lights, he is a very calm baby - all the nurses commented how good he was in there. They said that most babies scream. I was worried that his little goggles would fall off, so I stayed up most of the night checking up on him. He did better when I kept my hand on his tummy - and even though I couldn't hold him, it was still a bonding time for us. The boys and Grandma & Grandpa came to visit in the hospital. The boys were very excited. And wild. When they left, Randy and I were overwhelmed ("What have we done?!"), but thankfully we had a few more days before we had to face reality...

I love staying at the hospital. I slept, watched movies, and fed the baby - it was great. Here he is in his car seat ready to go home, dunn dunn dunnnnnn....

The first night he ate almost constantly, but the rest of the week he has let me sleep in 3-4 hour stretches.

When the boys came home from Grandma & Grandpa Lamb's, I was gone with Connor getting his newborn pictures taken. When I got home, they were waiting anxiously at the door to greet Connor. They were so cute with him. They covered him with blankets and talked to him.


Would the American Academy of Pediatrics approve of this sleeping position?
