So Daniel came home Tuesday morning! The dr. said that even though he lost some weight on Monday (don't all babies lose weight the first few days??), he was eating well and he could come home with an appt for a weight check in a few days. She really knew how to make a post-partum mom happy! (His weight was up to 7 lbs 11 oz. on Friday!)
It was wonderful to bring him home! Being around him 24/7 now reminded me of how much they just sleep and eat! He is a sweetheart, I love holding him and seeing how peaceful he is. As for his personality- hard to tell much at this point. But he does seem pretty mellow; he hardly cries. That might be so because I have been worried about him eating, and every time he whimpers and starts sucking his hands, it is declared time to eat by mommy.
Nathan has been really cute with him, he likes to give "baby Danny" finger kisses, he also likes to shake his bed. He will hold him for a minute or two with help, and then is ready to move on. I think he is a little jealous of the time I spend with Daniel, he gets upset with me pretty easily. Once I can get around easier and can carry Nathan, I think he will be happier. It is harder to take it easy with baby#2, but I have had lots of help entertaining Nathan. It seems easier to be getting up at night too. It was especially easier the other night when I called my friends at Cortland Hosp. where I used to work. Being awake for 45 minutes several times a night with sleep in between is better than staying awake all night and having to run around taking care of patients!
As a side note: we found a place to live! We will be moving to a condo in Eagle Mountain, UT next weekend. We are excited about it, Nathan still asks about living in the blue house in Groton though. I think he will love to see all of his toys and his bed though. We'll show pictures next week!!
