Well it has been one week since we left the hospital and boy what a week it was. It was both intimidating and exciting to leave the hospital. I was anxious to get home, but liked the safety and guidance that we received at the hospital. The first challenge we faced this week was how our four animals were going to take to Alexis. The cats love her nursery as there are new places to hide and sleep. The dogs have been wonderful with her. They are curious, but very appropriate and most of the time just leave her alone. We had some feeding challenges this week which caused all of us to become frustrated. I think that we have figured out a better plan for all of us and we are all much happier. Alexis is still under her birthweight, but is well on her way back. We had great weather this week and Alexis was able to make it out for several appointments with the lactation consultant, to the dog park, the mall, and out to eat. What a busy week. She is such a joy. I love just looking at her! She makes the funniest faces and noises. I couldn't be happier. Brian was able to stay home with us this week which was also a lot of fun. Because of my C section I was not able to drive or lift anything heavier than Alexis. Thank goodness those restrictions end this weekend. I am recovering nicely however and have not had any problems since coming home. We received many well wishes and congratulations this week and appreciate all of them even if we haven't gotten to talk to all of you. The last week was a whirlwind and I am looking forward to another week with my sweet baby. We have a busy week planned for next week with lots of appointments for mom and baby as well as Daddy's birthday and then Grandma and Grandpa Weatherby are coming on Saturday! Well its time for another feeding...
