Day 34 September 4th, 2010

This is Zander in his car seat for the first time and I just think he looks so darn small!!  Don't get me wrong he was a very healthy baby at birth but the carseat just swallows him up and he looks so tiny!!  We got to come home from the hospital on Saturday even though they really like you to stay for 48 hours they made an exception for us.  Chris had to leave at 3:00 in the morning and we really wanted to spend our last few hours together at home as a family.  The doctor came in and checked Zander and he passed all his first infant tests, we went over everything to watch for or to bring him back in for, and we also went over his discharge instructions and my discharge instructions.  The doctor was comfortable with letting us leave early because he did score high on all his infant testing and breastfeeding was going really well for both of us.  They called him the most natural nurser they had seen in a really long time so that made us feel good!!  Anyways, this was his first trip outside in the real world and we even went to see his great grandma Ford for a few minutes and took a walk uptown for Labor Day so mommy and daddy could get a lemonade shake up!!  Our first night home from the hospital was a little rough with Chris leaving and Zander has his days and nights mixed up (which they said lots of babies do) so we have to work on getting him on a schedule and awake more during the day, but other than that everything is perfect and him and I are both healthy!!
