A Quick Update...

So we have been home for almost a week now-and wow-our lives have completley changed. You would think that being pregnant for 10 months would prepare you for what you are stepping into--wrong. It's been trial and error with the little guy. Rob and I are learning how to function on a few hours of sleep a night-trying to stick to a feeding schedule-and keep ourselves some what rested. I've been trying to get out of the house once a day to help keep me feeling normal.

We had his first dr. appointment last Friday-everything went good-they said that we needed to feed him some more. It's interesting that the hospital and the pediatrician tell you two different things. Very confusing. So until he resumes back to his birth weight we are to be feeding the little guy every 3 hours. So sometimes he wants to eat lots-and sometimes not so much. He's sleeping really well-we mostly have to wake him up in the middle of the night to feed him. We go back to the dr. tomorrow to check his weight to make sure that he has gained back his 6 oz that he lost. I told him that he could borrow some weight from his momma...

His Mimi (Donna) is coming today-and we are so excited to see her! Rob can't wait to show Grayson off to her.

So here are a few pictures of the little guy since we came home. He had his first photo shoot yesterday-so the announcement cards should be done in a few weeks. Hope all is well with everyone!

We had the same issue with the twins...hospital nurses telling us to feed them when they wanted to eat and pediatrition telling us to feed them every 3 hours no matter what. UGH! Hang in there!
He is soooo cute though...love that little pacifier!
Love you!

You'll get the hang of it. I've decided that it's going to be trial and error until they are 18!! Can't wait to meet the little man and I miss you!
