Wow! Braylon is one week old today...hard to believe! We have had an eventful first week and I wanted to share the best moments with everyone. We were released from the hospital on Sunday, 7/20/08. Aunt Amber and Uncle Chad stopped by Sunday evening and brought dinner. We were really grateful for their generosity and the meal was great! My mom stayed with us through Wednesday to help work out the initial new parent kinks. She was very helpful and we were glad she could stay for a few days. Braylon really enjoyed his time with Grammy too!
On Tuesday, we paid a visit to the doctor for Braylon's first check-up. In preparation, we gave Braylon a sponge bath. Things were going well until he decided to poop all over his daddy! He's quite the pooper! That stuff shot out of him without warning and covered daddy's shorts and the floor. I doubled over in laughter! Bryan found it pretty amusing too!
The doctor's visit went well. Braylon had gained and surpassed his initial birth weight, now weighing 8lbs 2 oz. Bryan's mom came on Wednesday to fulfill her grandmotherly duties of cuddling and snuggling with her new grandbaby. She will stay with us through Sunday. It's really nice to have the extra help during this first week as we're getting settled in as a new family of three.
Our dogs have really taken to Braylon. They are constantly on guard and really watch over him like a big brother and sister. Charlie especially has been very curious and brotherly. He is always sitting right next to us during feedings and anxiously awaits our arrival after a short trip out of the house.
Our first week has been adventurous to say the least and we are definitely looking forward to the upcoming weeks as our little guy continues to grow and amaze us.
