We were discharged after 2 nights at the hospital, and on our way home, we had perfect timing to stop by and watch the boys play T-ball. They were so excited that their new brother came to cheer them on!
The day we came home was also Eric's birthday! We celebrated that night with a nice home cooked meal and an ice cream cake! The next day was Mother's Day and we celebrated with Grandma and Nana which is rare to have everyone together!! Then on Tuesday was the boy's birthday party. We had family over and enjoyed them riding their new bikes and opening some great presents! Overall the first week was very eventful and Austin did great through all the festivities.
Uncle Adam and Aunt Lynds couldn't wait for the girls to meet Austin. Emma is wonderful with him and really enjoys holding him and taking care of him. Nora likes to look at him and "hold" him as well!
Austin's 2 week appointment went very well. He is growing quickly and gaining weight as expected. He was up over 10 lbs at this appointment, so we didn't have to come back until the 1 month check-up.
Aunt Keri, Uncle Drew, Jack and Karly came to visit at the very end of the first month! There were some big milestones including his first real smile (the day before he turned one month) along with sleeping a 5 hour stretch and only getting up 1 time during the night! I really appreciated that, and although we keep going back and forth between being up 1 or 2 times through the second month, he is making progress on sleeping through the night! Austin enjoyed all the extra cuddles and kisses during the visit!!
Austin had another great appointment for his one month check-up. Austin weighed in at 10 lbs 3 oz 50% for weight and 25% for height!! So far he is much bigger than the boys and growing quickly! We were able to stop by the gym on the way home and meet all of the people who were so encouraging during the pregnancy.
