Our first week at home was a very very busy! After getting
home super late on Sunday night we tried to get as much sleep as we could
because tomorrow was going to be a busy morning. Julia, our foreign exchange
“sister” was going to be leaving in the morning for Brazil. I was so lucky that
Julia could have stayed long enough to meet Mason. Julia’s flight was at 2pm
but needed to leave for the airport at 11:00. We got to Mom’s around 9:45 to
enjoy our lat hour with Julia.
We spent the rest of the day relaxing with our new baby boy.
The rest of the week was filled with doctors appointments.
The entire first week we had an appointment each day. It kept us extremely
busy. We didn’t know truly what it was like to stay home all day with a newborn
because we were always on the go. We did though become very proficient in
packing the diaper bag. With how busy we were surprisingly we never forgot a
single thing; yet.
And, speaking of being so busy one of the many appointments
we went to that first week was to the pediatrician. When Thomas and I were
looking into selecting a pediatrician we did a lot of research and reached out
to some close friends for their suggestions. We came across St. Rose Pediatrics
and specifically Dr. Hodapp. I am beyond in love with our choice. Dr. Hodapp is
wonderful! Our first visit went over really well. He made both Thomas and I
feel beyond comfortable with the parenting newness. He even said we both looked like naturals! I am really
grateful to have him caring for Mason as he gets bigger.
Here is our first week in pictures:
