First Check-up

We went for our first pediatrician visit after leaving the hospital. Everything checked out great. At birth, Martin weighed 7 lbs 9 ozs and when we went home from the hospital he was 7 lbs 3 ozs. At the check up the doctor said they just want babies to be back to their birth weight by the time they come in for their 2 week check up---well drum roll please....Martin is already back to his birth weight--only 3 days after discharging from the hospital. Apparently breast milk does a body good. Figuring out the whole breastfeeding thing in the hospital was TERRIBLE. Martin cried, I cried, Martin got frustrated, I got frustrated, but we both pushed through, and he certainly has the hang of it now. It feels so good to know we finally both figured it out because it was so stressful until we did. That is probably my favorite time of day when we sneak off to the nursery to have mommy baby time. Although, dad is always right there--it would be so much easier to nurse if you had 4 hands. I am starting to feel a lot better, and Martin is doing awesome. He is such a good baby at night. We get up to eat, and to change a dirty diaper, but other than that, he is pretty content at night (fingers crossed it stays that way). I appreciate all the prayers and well wishes people have been sending. We know this is just the start of something amazing and appreciate all the prayers along our way.
