Visitors!

Thanks goodness for family and friends! From the hospital to adjusting to life at home, we have loved having the extra help and company (okay, and we'll admit... we also love showing him off!). Here are some pictures of Liam with his visitors:

Uncle Stork visited us for the first few days after Liam was born and got some quality time in the hospital with him:



Liam's first non-family visitor was my co-worker Sara who came to check him out. My best friend Jen came right after, but Liam was being fussy so she didn't get to hold him yet. There will be plenty of time for that to happen!



What would we do without our moms and grandma?! My mom (Nana) and grandma (GG) were here for our homecoming, and we couldn't have made that transition without them. Here is Liam cuddling with his Nana:



GG enjoying her great-grandson. Liam loved his time with her!



Yesterday Anthony's mom arrived, and Liam and Grandma immediately were smitten with one another!


We had our first pediatrician appointment yesterday morning, and while we did not like Dr. Dinosaur (who will luckily not be his regular dr) we were so happy to find out that Liam had already gained back 4 of the 6 ounces he had lost post-delivery! He is now 8 lbs. 2 oz. and is feeding like a champ. We don't have to go back for another month, which was encouraging.

We also had a home visit from a nurse yesterday, who came in to check on us. She will now be referred to as Saint Suzanne! My recovery has been difficult and a little stressful, and she gave me some new ways to take care of myself while also giving us some great strategies for taking care of Liam. Even though nursing is going well, we now have a new feeding routine and both mommy and baby are even happier. And using her advice, Liam had his first night sleeping in his bassinet for 2-3 hour stretches! Daddy got a great night's sleep and everyone is feeling like this is a little more manageable. For today anyway! One day at a time!

Here is Liam rocking out in his bouncer. Look at that fuzzy hair!
