Happy at Home!!

We got out of the hospital on Saturday and have been recuperating at home since then. Jill took Monday and Tuesday off, but has to go back tomorrow and I am very sad about that. She has been so wonderful with Braden and she does so much, I'm not sure how I am going to do it by myself!!! I'm sure I will learn, but I just love her being around to talk to and hug and love on!! I will miss her SOOOOOOOOOO much!! Braden's jaundice has gotten better and he is the best baby ever! We love him so much and enjoy just sitting and watching him breathe and make the funniest faces! I promise to get some pics up and a birth story once we get our new computer. I will leave you with a little info---he was 20.5 inches long and weighed 7 lbs 11 oz. when he was born. With the jaundice he went down to 6lbs. 11oz. but I think he has gained a little since then. He has brown hair and dark blue eyes for now. I did have to stop breastfeeding after a week due to all the meds I am on to control my blood pressure, which was a big bummer. However, he is doing very well on formula and now Jill can help more with feedings too:) We are just so proud of our little man and we love him so much!!

I hope you all have a wonderful week!!

So happy to hear you are all home. Andrew was jaundiced and we gave him formula and stuck him in the basinet near the window. He was fine within a few days.

We are so excited for you! Can't wait to hear the whole story!

Man you guys GOTTA get that new computer! You're leaving us all in suspense waiting for pics!!! Hey don't be like me after I first delivered. I didn't blog regularly and I'm sorry now that I don't have more details about the first weeks at home with Maddie to look back on now. Ah hell, I'm just saying that so you'll get on here and give us an update! :) Hope you're enjoying your Braden Bliss!
