Well, Dec. 11, 2006 marks the day our little boy came home from the hospital. Originally, the Dr was going to do some tests and keep him until Tuesday morning; but plans changed and Evan came home on Monday. It was very reassuring to hear the Dr be impressed and happy about his recovery.... but he's still a preemie born 6 wks early and sick but going home at 7lbs 1oz.
Then came the fun part of parenting... Dan & I had to do EVERYTHING for him and no nurses to guide us :) It was a good start and ended up being a long night... getting up every couple of hours. But it being our first night, it wasn't as dreaded as I imagined. Just have to get the cries down... which one is hunger, dirty diaper, cuddle time and of course the most popular.... gas!!! It was funny to watch Dan basically gag on a dirty diaper... and this is just the beginning, wonder how Dan will do down the road. I'll have to try to capture the Daddy change diaper and gagging moment on video... that will be a moment to capture.
And this morning, we had a first with me trimming Evan's nails... poor guy was scratching up himself and mommy. And last night in a fit of frustration, Evan 'really' cut himself with his nail :( But he was very relaxed as I filed them down... like getting a manicure at the spa.
Well, Evan is sleeping, so I'll take advantage of this 30-45min and either sleep or do some housework... still doing Evan's laundry and now he's making more and more dirty clothes.
