It has been an exciting, emotion, and exhausting week since Grayson James came into our lives. He is the new love of our lives!
We were sent home from the hospital on Wednesday, a day and a half after he was born. I have to admit, I didn't want to leave at all. I was terrified. The first night was so hard. I couldn't sleep at all. My heart was pounding. I couldn't take my eyes off him. Grayson was fine. It was all mommy's issues.
We have been in and out of the doctor's office and hospital ever since we were discharged. Grayson lost a pound and we were instructed to start giving him formula. Formula is SOOOO expensive. Luckily I have received some samples in the mail and at the hospital. I need to start saving formula coupons! He loves formula though. He was in an Enfamil coma pretty much all weekend.
Grayson also had a bit of jaundice so we had to go to the hospital twice to get his levels checked. We baked him in the window and it appears like it's going down.
David and I are handling it well though. When we changed our first diaper, we used almost an entire pack of wipes. Now, we are pros.
Even with sleep depravation, we are enjoying our peanut so much. He responds so well to Music. We have been so tired that the only song we can think to sing for comfort is "You are my Sunshine." I swear one night we repeated it 15 times while trying to calm him. I, of all people, should have a huge lullaby repertoire stored in my head.
We love just watching the new things he's discovering. Check out his boxing video:
Grayson has had many visitors this week. He likes all of his new friends. Some of our friends brought us meals.....the best gift you can give new parents. We are so thankful for the wonderful people in our lives.
