The First Week

We made it throught the first week!! It has been busy, but so much fun. Tuesday we went to the hospital at 5:30 AM to get ready for the c-section at 7:30 AM. The surgery started right on schedule and by 8:04 AM Nolan was born! We had several visitors the remainder of the day and on Wednesday.

When Nolan was born we noticed that he was tongue tied. We brought this up to the doctor and on Thursday he snipped the tissue under his tongue. It didn't seem to bother him much at all and now he can move his tongue more freely.

We were planning to go home Friday, but I was feeling pretty good and we were ready to get home to Payton, so we left Thursday afternoon. The first night went well. He woke up every 3 hours to eat and every night since then he's woken up every 3 - 4 hours. We had his one week checkup and he is already 7 lbs 12 oz, 4 more ounces than when he was born!

Payton is adjusting quite well and is enjoying the new baby around the house. She likes to wipe his hands clean, hold him, give him kisses and even brush his teeth. :) She definitely loves her little brother. Welcome to the world, Nolan James!
