Week 1

Horray, we are officially 1 week old!  Actually today Wally is 10 days old, but I'm backlogging here...

I think overall we've had a pretty successful time at home.  We all came home from the hospital on Tuesday afternoon.  I was still pretty sore and not very mobile for the first 4 days, but every day gets a little better.  Wally and I had an in-home nurse checkup on Thursday and we are both healthy.  Wally has already gained 4 oz since leaving the hospital!  He has a little Jaundice, which I think is pretty common, and it's especially noticable in his face and upper chest but is slowly draining.   I spent the week on my "mommy chair" - a burgundy recliner - while Brian was buzzing around getting all kinds of projects done.  He put a screen door on Wally's room (so the animals will stay out but we can still see in), sold a bunch of odds and ends on craigslist, did all the grocery shopping and errand running, researched all kinds of safety things, etc.  I slept.

Thanks to everyone who has been bringing us food, it has been a godsend!  Our fridge is fully stocked, I feel like I live at a restaurant where there are several choices for each meal.  It has been such a huge help!
