More family time!

We had a busy couple of days with visitors! Caiden is a lucky man to have so much family wanting to meet him!

He spent some time with Grandma Judy and Grandpa Hank on Thursday

He met his mom's cousin Tom and Tom's wife Elpi on Saturday. They were in town for the Head of the Charles.

He hung with Grandpa Jack and met his Grandma Madeline.  He also met some BTTers at the year's first SGR (Sunday Group Run).

Family Time!

After Caiden's doctors appointment, Mom and I headed over to the Keery's house since Cathy was visitng. They made us a great lunch, and even sent us home with a yummy dinner! Caiden got some good snuggle time in with Aunt Elizabeth, Nana Nan, Great Aunts Laura and Cathy, and great cousins Anna and Katherine.

First Doctors Appointment

Nana Nan and I took Caiden to Concord Hillside for his first pediatrician appointment. Kind of fun because the same nurse that worked there when I was a kid was still there, and remembered our family. Same goes with the doctor! Dan had a field trip for class and unfortunately couldn't make it. Caiden checked out healthy, and he weighed in at 8lbs 1 oz. He continued the trend of peeing on exam tables (he let loose at the ER triage room as well). But hey, what can you expect when you leave a newborn undressed on an exam table for 15 minutes?

The doctor recommended a lactation consultant to us, as we're still having issues in the nursing department. She met me at Nana's house Monday afternoon, and worked her magic! Things have been much better since that appointment. Phew!

First walk

Here we are taking Caiden our for his first walk. It was a beautiful day for it! Caiden took a good snooze in the Bob while we walked out to the river.

 

First ER visit

That didn't take long. We were back at Newton Wellesley the day after we were discharged. On Saturday, about 5 minutes after the home nurse visit, we noticed a strange discharge in Caiden's diaper. It happened again later in the day. So, we called the pediatrician, who recommended we go to the ER to have him checked out. So we headed over. The ER doc told us it was a normal side effect of the birthing process, but wanted to see a fresh sample. So, we hung out until BBH peed. He confirmed that all was good and we were able to head home. Phew!

Hanging on the hospital bed!

Hanging at home

We've been busy adjusting to our little man!! He sleeps a lot, and seems to have most of his awake time at night. We're pretty tired!! We are both totally in love with Caiden though. He is just the cutest little peanut!
