Initially we thought we wanted to go home yesterday, but the lack of poop and so-so eating after a circumcision kept us in the hospital another night. This morning, Trey tipped the scales at 6lbs 14oz so he’s only lost about 5% of his birth weight (less than 10% in the first week is expected) and his jaundice level was acceptable so we came home. It was a very surreal experience this trip home with a new baby. We felt so much more prepared as we had everything in place and didn’t have the anxiety of a premature baby that needed so much attention because every little thing would make her cold, not eat, etc.
Chloe has been getting a crash course lately on how to ‘love a baby.’ She passed her test today as she went up to Trey and gave him a hug…her version at least! Here’s a video of their first encounter! I have a feeling there will be some that aren’t as friendly as this one in the coming years.
Thanks to everyone for stopping by and offering to help! We’ll have more pictures up soon.
