Home & Settled!

Dear Teagan:
Finally home and starting to get our life normal. The first night home you only woke up to eat once! It was fantastic! Then it progressively got worst. Twice the next night, then 3 times the next. But now we're okay! You get up about every 3 hours which is fine with me! Daddy doesn't get up with you during the night because you were refusing a bottle up until yesterday! And also because he has to work so it makes more sense for me to get less sleep because I can sleep all day (yeah right)
Your first night home and your umbilical cord came off and you found your thumb! It still takes you a while to get it, but you love it when you do find it. Once we were home I stopped pumping and was only nursing you. I didn't care about supply I just wanted my breasts to feel normal again! But now we have them under control and I'm back to pumping after each feeding.
We've taken many trips out into the world already! Tuesday we went with aunt Lindsey tomypur doctors appointment and you weighed in at 7lbs 9oz. She did another bilirubin test and it was up 2 points since we left! She said not to worry that we'd test it again on Friday. Wednesday we stayed home all day and mommy caught up on housework. Thursday we went grocery shopping with nana. I was so worried I'd forget you that I started walking away without paying for my groceries!! I left
my debit card sitting right up there and just walked off. Oh silly mommy. Then Friday aunt Erin and I took you for your blood work and then went shopping!!! Your bilirubin stayed the same since Tuesday and they weren't too concerned about it. They said since you are breastfed that's probably why it isn't going down as quickly. But they told me to just continue on breastfeeding and they'll just check it next week at your appt then. Aunt Erin and I got you the cutest clothes!! I'd never shopped for a boy, everyone I know has always had girls! I didn't know how much fun little boys clothes were! We got you tons of football outfits for this fall whenyou watch the games with daddy! I also bought you your very first Gap hoodie! It's so stinkin cute!!! Someone grandma works with (Shelby) got you your first pair of Gap jeans already! They're super cute. You're going to be such a stud!
Tomorrow we're going on our first outing with daddy and it's also the first outing where you'll be out of your carseat. We're going to our friends house! You'll get to meet all of your future classmates! There will be 6 babies there all under the age of 1! It'll be fun! I was having a bit of anxiety about it sixe you weren't taking a bottle and I am non good about being discrete while nursing and I had a dream you peed thru your clothes and I didn't pack extras. But now I'm feeling better about it and I'm excited to go!
Now off to fold and put away all your new clothes!
Love you baby boy!
Love,
Mommy
