Corin has hit three weeks old and is still going strong. We had our first post-NICU doctor’s appointment today and he didn’t fail to impress. He weighed in at 7 pounds, 2.5 ounces, so he has gained 4 ounces in the three days we’ve been home. He’s within all the norms ranges for height, weight and head size for babies his age. So he’s looking good.
We are all still figuring out life at home together. He does fine sleeping throughout the day. He will wake up every few hours to get changed and eat. Sleeping throughout the night is something we are still working on. Night One was a bit rough, but I think that was to be expected for the first night. Night Two went great: sleeping well, eating well and then sleeping well some more. Last night was not pleasant. He just could not get comfortable and there didn’t really seem to be anything we could do to help him relax. So Kristi was up with him the first half of the night and I was up the second half.
Luckily we were able to make up some of our sleep today since Grandma came up yesterday and will be staying with us through tomorrow. We need to figure out a way to pay her so she can quit her job and come be our live-in nanny. Having a third person in the house makes everything so much easier. Kudos to all of you single parents out there who run your houses by yourself. That has got to take a special kind of strength.
Overall, things are going very well. He is eating well, sleeping well overall, and busts out a few killer smiles throughout the day that make all of the little trials fade away.
