Settling In

Our first night with Flynn home was pretty rough. He was up every hour or so to eat or be changed. Yesterday he became a total rock star with his food though although he spit up a bit as the day went on (what baby doesn't?).  

We took Flynn to Walmart with us yesterday morning and it went well he stayed asleep during the trip and since Chris and I were exhausted we didn't stay out long. We ended up not getting the Diaper Genie but my Mother-in-law knew we were looking for one and went shopping on her lunch break with a co-worker who actually bought it for us as a baby gift. Its pretty nice. ^_^

Everything is getting easier for us and last night went much more smooth. Flynn took more food at each feeding and therefore slept for longer intervals and Chris and I got a little sleep! I could have partly been just because we were exhausted ourselves. We went to bed around 11pm after Flynn had fed one last time. He woke up around 1am and then again around 4am just taking over the minimum for the 12 hour period. 

This morning Flynn had his first check visit with his pediatrician. She was really nice and said he is doing great. She said that they will try and see if the insurance company will cover the care for RSV but that since he was so healthy and will be a bit older by cold and flu season they may not cover the care. That is a bummer since that is when he will be in daycare but maybe they will cover the medication. We shall see how things go. 

Flynn did not gain any weight but she said not to worry since the scale is different and he was still adjusting to his new surroundings. He has to go back in 2 weeks for his first immunizations and they will weigh him then and we will need to be concerned if he hasn't gained by then. Currently he is 6lbs 11oz. 

Poor guy has to go to the pediatric opthamologist next week and then back to the pediatrician the following week for his first set of immunizations and a weight check. 

Going to take him on his first walk in his stroller tonight. Can't wait to get out and stretch my legs its been a few days since I've taken a walk. I was doing really well getting a 45 minute walk in almost daily when I was staying in Denver during his time in the NICU. I need a new routine now. I hope when I go in for my last post par-tum appointment they clear me to start doing more exercise. 

Alright I need to get some cleaning done while he is still asleep he'll be waking up soon I think.
