Its been a wonderful last 6 days. We went into the hospital at 5:45 on Wednesday to be induced. Little Michael was born at 3:57 that afternoon. He gave us a little scare because he came out purple and didn't cry right away. It turns out the moment he was born he decided to poop and pee all over the doctor and had managed to aspirate some of it. After some suctioning he was fine and believe me his lungs are working fine.
We stayed in the hospital for 2 days just to get the hang of things. Luckily for us when we went home on Friday Mikes mom came to stay with us. She was great with Little Michael and let mommy and daddy get some sleep.
Its been 6 days of firsts for us and Little Michael. His first bath, first car ride, first story time, first doctors appointment. Its so exciting to see him experience everything for the first time. His favorite thing to do is cuddle. He loves to lay on you and sprawl out with his arms and legs spread out as far as they can go. He is not the type to enjoy being swaddled instead he is a serious bed hog.
My first Mothers Day was perfect. We went to church on Saturday and I have never been prouder. Mike held little Michael and took him up for his first blessing. We also took our first walk that day with little Michael in the stroller. A great husband and a wonderful son, I am one lucky woman!
He is also extremely strong! He can already roll onto his side and practically hold his head up. In short he is absolutely perfect in every way.
Today he also had his first doctors appointment. His birth weight had been 8 pounds 8 ounces but his discharge weight was 7 pounds 14 ounces. So we were very happy to hear that he weighs 8 pounds 2 ounces today. The doctor also said his coloring was perfect and everything looked great. Our next appointment is next Thursday and unfortunately he will also have his circumcision at that appointment.
Sorry this update took so long but its been hard for Mike and I to focus on anything but the new addition to our family.
