What An Amazing Week!

This past week has gone by at an incredibly fast rate. It feels as if the days of the NICU are way in the past. Nick and I were looking back at pictures and video of Samuel and we can hardly believe we have our little guy home. He is a very good baby. He eats about every 4 hours. He started out eating 2 oz of milk and now he is up to 3 oz. Sam has been enjoying his new bedroom. He's had a few visitors this past week. He only cries when he is hungry. He has only spit up a few times this past week. He seems to be gaining weight. Nick and I weighed him on our scale.....we're not sure how accurate that is but we think he is about 6 pounds now. We go to the pediatrician tomorrow and we'll find out for sure. Here are some pictures from Sam's 1st week at home.

Leaving the hospital. Ms. Karen walked us out. Sam and I will miss her terribly.

1st time in the car seat.

Aunt Melissa feeding Samuel a bottle.

Grandmother and Granddad enjoying their 16th grandchild.

Daddy putting Sam down for a nap.

Posing with Aunt Jessica......no more pictures Sam says.

Sam's 1st time in his swing. He loves it!

Going for a stroller ride for the 1st time with Daddy, Mommy, Georgia, and Yankee.

Samuel enjoying some tummy time.

Talking to Aunt Debbie....he was just a gooing and gawing.

At the optamologist this morning. Waiting for Sam's eyes to dilate.

Waiting for the doctor to check Sam's eyes out. (Babies who have been on oxygen have to have routine eye exams.) Sam checked out just fine. Although, Mommy had to go wait in the hallway because Sam was crying. Good thing Daddy was there. :)

Our sweet little family.
