We are home from the hospital, trying to get settled as a family of 5! I can't lie, it's been a bit of a tough adjustment. I think that my recovery (or lack there of) was my first issue. I could hardly move! The pain meds literally knocked me out, so that was counterintuitive. Stephen and my parents have been amazing.
Unfortunately, Stephen had to go on a mandatory business trip to NYC this week. This has opened my eyes to my future reality when he travels and home with the 3 by myself. Eek. Thankfully my parents have been here with me to help maintain my household, my children, and my sanity.
Back to Parker- he is precious! He is jaundice, and we keep having to go to the doc to get his blood drawn. His level isn't dropping, but it's not in the "dangerous" zone- it's in the intermediate zone. He is also gaining weight slowly. He sleeps all the time! Probably 21 hours a day.
The girls are getting used to habit Parker around! Taylor loves to pet him and kiss him. Sydney wants to feed him and hold him.
Parker's accomplishments in week 1:
-sleeping
-eating 2-2.5 ounces at a time
-going on his first walk
-meeting lots of friends and family
-first venture out to lunch at Atlanta bread co.
-sat patiently (well, slept, actually) during mommy's pedicure
-is up to 9 lbs, 3 oz.
-being precious
It's been a wonderful, tiresome week!
