one week old

Today Braydon is one week old. In the past week he has been a busy little baby. The day after coming home from the hospital we took him out for the first time, of course it was just to the pediatrician's office. Even though he was born one day before 37 weeks he was still considered premature and because he was born a little premature he was a little jaundice. We had to take him to see the dr. for the 1st three days he was home to check his levels to make sure that his liver is functioning ok. After yesterdays appt. the dr. is sure that everything is just fine now. We also took him to have his pictures done when he was 5 days old. We did this with Reed because the hospital pics are horrible and expensive so we figured we would do it with Braydon too. Yesterday was Graham's last day at home before he had to go back to work so we figured we would go out and do something as a family. We took Reed to monkey joes to get some of his built up energy out. He went full speed for an hour and then crashed. Braydon still has his days and nights mixed up but hopefully he will get that corrected soon. Other than only getting a little bit of sleep at night I would say this past week has been pretty good. Of course I have to give Graham's mom, Frances, all the credit for that. She has been here since last thurs. and been helping out with everything. She has done a wonderful job keeping Reed entertained and not feel left out. She is leaving sat. to go back home and I don't know what I am going to do without her here but I know that with a little bit of time I'll be just fine.
