We have had an amazing first few days at home. My postpartum experience with Harper was so painful, but luckily, I have been pain free since Ethan's delivery! We have enjoyed watching Harper get to know her new baby brother. They are so cute together. We have spent our days at home passing Ethan from one loving person to another. I don't think he has been out of someone's arms for more than ten minutes his entire life! Ethan was on the smaller size at birth and had to have his glucose levels followed every three hours for the first day. Luckily, the kid loves to eat so much that his levels were always perfect. At his first pediatric visit on day of life two, he had only lost 4% of his birthweight. Up to 10% is normal. On day of life four, he was 6 pounds 5 ounces, surpassing his birthweight! Our provider said it usually takes two weeks to do that! Alex and I have been very lucky to have our parents around this week to help out. Harper is going to miss all the attention next week. Thank you very much for all the calls and messages!
Harper and Ethan
Luckily, we were home for my birthday. Michele and Dave picked a beautiful cake from our favorite bakery in Charlotte. It was amazing. Michele made a yummy raspberry compote to go with it too!
It was the perfect way to spend my birthday.
Our boys even sleep the same way!
Ethan has slowly been more alert during the day. We just love looking at his blue eyes.
One of my birthday gifts was a cheese plate! Hello unpasteurized cheese I have not been able to eat for the past forty weeks!
We received beautiful flowers from all the grandparents. We just love flowers!
Harper received these flowers from her cousins. It was so sweet!
We have been loving the blue flowers.
We love our snuggles.
Sleeping and soon thereafter peeing on Daddy's old blankie!
Cookie bouquet from my work!
