The first few weeks home were full of highs and lows. Every new mom goes through them but I didn't realize the roller coaster my emotions would be going on. Thank goodness for my so very patient husband and my extremely helpful mom! I can't imagine having to do that all alone!
Having had a C-section made it very difficult for me to do all the new baby stuff. I pretty much laid on the couch and fed him and fed myself. When my mom told me she was going to plan on leaving at the one week mark I still hadn't changed a diaper! I was a little freaked out to say the least. Luckily I began to feel better soon after and we survived!
Brodyn was such a good baby right off the bat! He was pretty much on his 3 hour schedule right away. He soon figured out that during the night he could stretch it out a little longer. I think he was waking up once between 2AM-5AM by week four! As long as he has a full stomach he's pretty much a happy little guy.
In the hospital he lost about a pound but by his 2 week appointment he had gained all of it back plus some. He weighed 10pds 5oz and was 24 inches long. The nurse was very impressed with how much he had grown!
Here are a few pictures from his first few weeks!
