Needless to say, the last 2 days have been a whirlwind for me and Chip. We have noticed how mixed up David is with day and night and how much help we got while we were in the NICU. But, it’s also been amazing being full-time parents. David has had a lot of firsts this weekend. He of course, had his first night at home, sleeping in his bassinet, and getting used to being somewhere other than the NICU. In addition, he had his first visitors at home Friday evening and attended his first mass. Today he had his first pediatrician appointment — everything looks good by the way. He has gained a little bit of weight over the weekend. He now weighs 5 lbs 4 oz. In addition to all of that, we had our first post-placement visit with our adoption specialist, Kelly, this morning. Tonight, we’re lucky to have some friends who have offered to bring us dinner, so I don’t have to worry about cooking while Chip is teaching class tonight. If anyone else wants to bring us dinner, I’m sure we wouldn’t turn them down :-)!!
Later in the week, we are looking forward to my parents (“Mimi” and “Papa”) coming to town on Thursday. Also, David has his first photo shoot with our friend Sunny on Saturday…we’ll send out official announcements after that.
But, to tide you over, here are “just a few” pictures of David at home.
