All is going well here with Jack and Nate. Jack has taken to his new brother as well as can be expected - a few meltdowns, but overall is more or less ignoring the baby. He has his adorable moments of bringing his hat, blanket or toys to Nate though.
Nate seems to be doing well - he is eating, peeing and pooping. He is definitely more into sucking than Jack was - he loves to suck fingers/arms anything he can get his hand on, even if he just ate. He is a bit jaundiced - very common. Both the doctor on Saturday and our neighbor (a pediatrician) both said it looks fine though. Nate also is more of a "lap baby" as a friend of mine calls them . He really really wants to be held all the time. Jack was pretty content to be put down (at least temporarily). We have been taking turns sleeping with him in our arms. Hopefully this is just a phase. I can't complain about a 3 day old's sleep patterns!
We have had some visitors so far - both Grandmas were around for the birth and our coming home. Incidentally we actually departed the hospital early. We were slated for leaving Saturday morning,but instead left Friday afternoon. I was feeling well, Nate was doing well and Steve and I both thought we would sleep better at home. The hospital was rather boring;/ We still think we made the right decision. Nate got to meet his Uncle Andy and Aunt Katie today along with his Grandpa Pete. Later in the week should be the rest of the CT family, including Grandpa Bill/Nonnie, (hope you all are feeling better!)
